PHRASES THAT HAVE THE SAME SPELLING OR BOTH SPELLING AND MEANING IN ENGLISH AND AFRIKAANS
Did you know that Afrikaans and English are both Germanic languages? That is why there are many words that are spelled the same or spelled and mean the same in both languages. Check out the following poem for instance:
MY STORIES BEGIN AS LETTERS
My pen is my wonderland.
Word water in my hand.
In my pen is wonder ink.
Stories sing. Stories sink.
My stories loop. My stories stop.
My pen is my wonder mop.
Drink letters. Drink my ink.
My pen is blind. My stories blink.
