AfrikaansEdit

  • lat (Cape Afrikaans)

EtymologyEdit

From Dutch dat, from Middle Dutch dat, from Old Dutch that, from Proto-Germanic *þat.

PronunciationEdit

ConjunctionEdit

dat

  1. that (introducing a subordinate clause)

Usage notesEdit

  • In Afrikaans the use of that is optional, as in English, but it is somewhat more commonly retained that in English usage. If a clause is introduced by dat, the clause follows the verb-final word order of subordinate clauses. If dat is absent, the clause observes the word order of main clauses, leading to the following contrast in syntax:
    Hy weet dat die doktor te laat kom.
    He knows that the doctor will arrive too late.
    Hy weet die doktor kom te laat.
    He knows the doctor will arrive too late.

A preceding comma may alter the meaning of a clause starting with a relative pronoun. Compare the following sentences:

  • Het boek dat wit was, gaf ik terug.
    I returned the book that was white. (The white book specifically, not another: specificative phrase)
  • Het boek, dat wit was, gaf ik terug.
    I returned the book, which was white. (The book happened to be white: explicative phrase)

Usage notesEdit

  • In Dutch the use of that is mandatory, with the following clause using the verb-final word order of subordinate clauses: Zij wist dat de lijkbidder te laat zou komen. (“She knew that the undertaker would arrive too late.”) A rare exception is found in some marginal slang contexts, that are often heavily influenced by English and where the conjunction is sometimes omitted.
