Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
In the previous lesson, you learned how to ask a bus driver if a bus goes to your destination. If you’re lucky enough to be traveling on one of the brand new buses, then once on board you can look at the electronic information board and check what the next bus stop will be. In older buses though, there are no information boards so your only option would be to ask what the next bus stop is. You can also ask the driver if he can let you know when your bus stop is next.

Lesson focus
In Afrikaans, "What is the next stop?" is Wat is die volgende stop?
(slow) Wat is die volgende stop?
Wat is die volgende stop?
First, we have Wat, which means "What." Then we have is, which is equivalent to the English word "is." This is followed by volgende, meaning "next." Let's break it down by syllable.
(slow) volgende
volgende
Then we have the last word in our phrase; stop, the noun meaning "stop," as in “bus stop.”
(slow) stop
stop
Altogether we have “What is the next stop?”
(Slow) Wat is die volgende stop?
Wat is die volgende stop?
When you’re on a bus in South Africa, you might want to ask if your desired destination is the next stop. For example, let’s say you want to get off the bus at the Greenmarket Square. In Afrikaans, it’s called die Groenmark plein, and this is the historic market in Cape Town. In Afrikaans, you can say..
Is Groenmark plein die volgende stop?
It means "Is the Greenmarket square the next stop?" Let’s hear this once again.
(slow) Is Groenmark plein die volgende stop?
Is Groenmark plein die volgende stop?
First we have Is which is like “is” in English. Then you can add the name of your destination. In this case, it’s Groenmark plein or “the Greenmarket Square.” Then we have die volgende stop which means “the next stop.” Let’s hear the phrase once again.
(slow) Is Groenmark plein die volgende stop?
Is Groenmark plein die volgende stop?
