I love the language! I went to South-Africa in December and I could understand much of what the people said/ wrote in Afrikaans. I think that's because I'm Dutch. So reading Afrikaans was quite easy. Since then I've been in love with the country, the language and Jack Parow.
Afrikaans is easier than Dutch, we Afrikaners struggle to understand Dutch.......... atleast I struggle to understand you. You people talk too fast!!! Ek verstaan amper fokkol wat julle sê nie, julle praat te vinnig vir my. I worked with a south african born Dutch girl, I struggled to understand her also. But a Dutch and Afrikaans mix....... what a language to behold, dis n befokte mengsel! fok my!!! , Dutch poeple here like to curse in Afrikaans, Aswell do English people...... Afrikaans is n taal wat aan almal hier bekend is. Veral die vloek woorde. Jou ma se kat!
@@tomsmithok This isn't Dutch bro. This is Afrikaans. It's a daughter language of Dutch, and shares a lot of the vocabulary, but it's its own language.
Dit nummer was een hit bij ons in Vlaanderen (tegenwoordig woon ik in NL, waar het ook een hit was). Heerlijke toegankelijke dis, tegelijk niet te serieus. Blij het terug te horen.
I love this song - Jack Parrow could be HUGE in USA! Lots of people here listen to this all the time even though nobody understands it - the point of the song comes through
Well i do not know what you mean with afrikaans is not the same as afrikaans. But being Dutch i cannot help to hear that about 75 to 80 percent is absolutely Dutch, and the rest English...how can you say it's nothing alike?
Well if i hear Afrikaans i hear 80% Dutch and 20% English, so it might be a lot more than a few words that are the same. I looked it up in Wikipedia and it says it actually was Dutch, and over time is "corrupted" into Afrikaans.
Jou ma se poes is corrupt,anyway there is more german in it than english,and alot of dutch there is very little resemblance to english,mostly german and dutch
What are we even talking about? History says it's Dutch, i understand about 80% of it, and i speak both Dutch and German, i have not found German words in it. Doesn't even matter, look it up if you think it's german, you'll be amazed what history tells you, en nee de poes van mijn moeder is niet corrupt...gewoon oud.
@@NateVDZ Je hebt helemaal gelijk! Het mooie is dat je het als Nederlander gewoon kan verstaan. Veel makkelijker dan bijvoorbeeld sommige Belgische accenten, ik noem geen namen (Gents) die dus wel als Nederlands accent te boek staan.
They're not the same thing. Dutch/Flemish is one language but Afrikaans is another one. It's apprently easier for Dutch speakers to understand Afrikaans then the other way around. But we have a lot of Dutch/Flemish dialects that are sometimes harder to understand than Afrikaans.
Watched Jack Parow perform live last night! Awesome stage personality! His ultra common persona makes him who he is, the best Afrikaans rapper alive! Jack Parow FTW!!!
im a down right english man..and i gotta admit..afrikaans rocks when it comes to just what you want to express..love this song..couldnt have said it better in ANY other language..EVER..!!!
dutch is the mother language from afrikaans, apartheid is a ducth name, the white setlers in sa were from the Netherlands and spoke dutch, afrikaans is daughter language of dutch.
I am from belgium, speaking dutch and hearing this is hilarious. I can understand like 25% of it. So funny how you guys changed dutch in ur own language, love it
As a native English speaker this is so motivating to learn Afrikaans, I had no idea these two languages were so similar. Afrikaans seems like its really similar to German too
I adore that in this awesome kind of music and video, the girl is wearing a Slayers shirt :') This speaks volumes about music, how it brings people together, and you don't need genres to actually enjoy something!
I wasn't sure about this in the beginning, but it won me over by the middle. This is some fresh and interesting stuff coming out of South Africa. I'm gonna go listen to more now
@@africaeurope1294 Because the Dutch first colonised the southern point of Africa. Whilst learning about the Dutch history in school we also have lessons about colonialism and my teacher also gave specific lessons about the Boer people and the wars between boers and England. Boers are basically the former Dutch colonisers that is why we learned about them in school
Het enige dat ik eerst begreep was dat er vergelijkingen werden gemaakt tussen dingen. De vergelijking tussen Tim Voster en Chris Edwards komt volgens een kennis van me die er jaren heeft gewerkt uit een of andere gare soap, de rest is weer redelijk te volgen :P
The song title is basicly : You think you are cooler than me. The South African language is a slang variant with much dialect derived from the Dutch and Flemish language.
i absolutely love this song this is a truly talented south african rapper. although he uses some foul language it is still amazing music. 100% all the way jack parow you are awesome
In Belgium I speak Afrikaans in the shops and restaurants and they always understand me. Except in Amadeus ribs where the manager was anti British despite my best efforts
Because the internet is a worldwide network and English is the internet's (and science's) Esperanto. It gives the non-Dutch- and non-Afrikaans-speaking viewers (a.k.a. almost the entire world) the opportunity to understand these comments. So the simple answer to your question 'why people are commenting in English?' is: attentiveness - the trait of being considerate and thoughtful of others. Kind regards from Amsterdam.
2024 and I'm still jamming to this song. Jack Parrow made me want to master Afrikaans.

As a black Xhosa guy this is my favorite Afikaaner song ❤️👊🏾
Afrikaans just flows. It is a great language for rhyming. Loved it.

is nie hard te verstaan ons nie, maar as jy wil, ons kan wat jou toe die winkel en ons kan jou iets leer ou bru.
it is afrkaans. the songs name is you think you're cooler than me
This tune is still the bomb!!!Great vibe!! And me as a Dutch man can understand almost all of the words.

This has a very 2009 vibe to it. Even tho I’ve never seen it it’s kind of nostalgic
