Over the past week and a bit, I have learned quite a few new words, with most of them being in the English language!!
Try to guess what each word means. - I'll put the definition after
robots - When driving, please obey the robots.
geyser - Did you turn off the geyser after you were done doing dishes?
jojo tank - When there is not enough water, we will use the jojo tank.
petrol - Petrol costs R12 in South Africa
garage - Did you pass the garage today?
trousers - That is the first time I saw you wear trousers.
boot - Put your bag in the boot please.
biscuits - Do you want to make some biscuits this afternoon?
bakkie (no idea of the spelling, but it sounds like the Dutch word for container without an accent) - You have a nice bakkie
The first one is the word that stumped me the most.
robot - traffic lights
geyser - small hot water tank (by what I have seen, it is on the wall of the house)
jojo tank - extra water storage tank, just in case the town turns the water off
petrol - gas; the price is about the same as Canada
garage - gas station or a garage as we know it
trousers - pants/jeans
boot - trunk of a car
biscuits - cookies
bucky -truck
