punt (werk -> werk.)

Is "Mamma is besig om te werk." dieselfde as "Mamma werk."?
Ek dink dat hulle is anders :/

Ek dink so, maar ek kan dalk verkeerd wees :0 Amper soos met Engels, "She is working", en "She is busy working", albei kan werk.

Dalk moet... self vertaal ek net van ander tale om hierdie tipe probleem te vermy. Miskien moet jy ook doen :) Dit sal makliker wees vir jou :D

Watter probleme? Ek verstaan regtig nie wat jy se nie. Ek is gebore in Suid Afrika en ek praat die taal al my hele lewe lank. Ek sien geen fout met wat ek geskryf het nie. In jou eerste opmerking het jy vergeet om jou werkwoord 'is' na die einde van die sin toe te skyf. Mens se nie: "Ek dink dat hulle is anders" nie, mens se "Ek dink dat hulle anders is". En mens se ook nie, "Miskien moet jy ook doen" nie, mens se. "Miskien moet jy dit ook doen.". Al wat ek probeer se is ek weet wat ek van praat en ek is doodseker dat my Afrikaans reg is. Aan die ander kant is ek nie so seker van meneer se afrikaans nie:)

Nee, ek is Meksikaanse :) always try to translate from OTHER languages into your own. "Mamma is besig om te werk." and "Mamma werk." are too different to be linked.

For sentences in the same language to be linked, they would have to be pretty much EXACTLY the same thing: "I am Tom." = "I'm Tom"; "I have to go now." = "I must go now." = "I gotta go now."

Even "I work." and "I am working." are logically too different to be linked.

Welcome to the Tatoeba Project; I look forward to learning more Afrikaans from your sentences :)

Now I see. I thought you could add alternate possible translations, and in this case I felt my translation sounded more natural in a daily setting.I'm still new and learning the ropes. I wasn't sure what you were going on about at first XD

We all make mistakes (I made several when I first joined as well).

So, first, you must find sentences to translate.

These here are our most 'translated' sentences. Not all of them are all that great as example sentences, but many crucial things, such as "Hello." "Help!" "Thank you." are here. Look through the list, click on a sentence, and if there is not yet an Afrikaans translation, feel free to add it :)

Another possibility is to use the search bar above: type in (an) English word(s), change the language in the 'From' box to English and click the magnifying glass. The English sentences with the word(s) will appear (by default: shortest to longest). So if you feel like translating sentences with concepts like "dog" or "bigger than" or "as XXX as possible", it is a great tool.

You could also use the Advanced Search (small; in white letters above the search bar)
In 'Sentences', change language to English; in 'Translations', change 'Limit to' to 'exclude', change language to 'Afrikaans'. In 'Sort', change Order to 'Random'...
...and you will be give a list of random sentences in English not yet translated into Afrikaans :D

Happy hunting, and welcome!
