| INTRODUCTION |
| Becky: Hi everyone, and welcome back to AfrikaansPod101.com. This is Beginner Season 1 Lesson 20 - Feeling Proud as Punch in South Africa. Becky here. |
| Chesney: Hallo! I'm Chesney. |
| Becky: In this lesson, you'll learn about ordinal numbers. The conversation takes place at a restaurant. |
| Chesney: It's between Nadia and Daleen. |
| Becky: The speakers are co-workers. Therefore, they’ll speak informal Afrikaans. Okay, let's listen to the conversation. |
| DIALOGUE |
| Daleen: Ek hoor jou dogter het so baie pryse gewen gisteraand? |
| Nadia: Ek is so trots op haar, sy is eerste in haar klas vir akademie! |
| Daleen: Dis wonderlik, en met sport? |
| Nadia: Sy het derde gekom in haar tennis span, en vierde in die land! |
| Daleen: Jy is seker besonders gelukkig daaroor. |
| Nadia: Ja, ek was altyd laaste op skool! Ek huil sommer. |
| Daleen: Jy gaan nog elke jaar huil! |
| Becky: Listen to the conversation one time slowly. |
| Daleen: Ek hoor jou dogter het so baie pryse gewen gisteraand? |
| Nadia: Ek is so trots op haar, sy is eerste in haar klas vir akademie! |
| Daleen: Dis wonderlik, en met sport? |
| Nadia: Sy het derde gekom in haar tennis span, en vierde in die land! |
| Daleen: Jy is seker besonders gelukkig daaroor. |
| Nadia: Ja, ek was altyd laaste op skool! Ek huil sommer. |
| Daleen: Jy gaan nog elke jaar huil! |
| Becky: Listen to the conversation with the English translation. |
| Daleen: I heard that your daughter won so many prizes last night. Did she? |
| Nadia: I am so proud of her. She is first in her class for academics. |
| Daleen: That is wonderful, and with sport? |
| Nadia: She came third in her tennis team and fourth in the country! |
| Daleen: You must be exceptionally happy about it. |
| Nadia: Yes, I was always last at school. I just want to cry! |
| Daleen: You are going to cry every year! |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Becky: Wow, Nadia’s daughter did really well! |
| Chesney: Yes, she won awards for academics and is also really good at sports. |
| Becky: There aren’t many people that are good at both, are there? |
| Chesney: I don’t think so. |
| Becky: Nadia said that she wants to cry, but I can imagine her daughter would be really embarrassed if her mother cried at school! |
| Chesney: I’d be embarrassed if my mom did! |
| Becky: I guess it isn’t common for adults to cry in public in South Africa? |
| Chesney: No, it isn’t. You might see the odd tear at a rugby game, but that’s it. |
| Becky: At rugby games? |
| Chesney: Yeah, South Africans love rugby! |
| Becky: So, how would you say "They are crying tears of happiness due to the rugby game." |
| Chesney: Hulle huil uit bladskap oor die rugby spel. |

| Chesney: eerste gekom |
| Becky: meaning "came first." The direct translation though is “first come.” |
| Chesney: Right. You can use this phrase to talk about order in competitions or things like that. |
| Becky: Is this informal or formal language? |
| Chesney: You can use it in both. |
| Becky: Can you give us an example using this word? |
| Chesney: Sure. For example, you can say, Ek het eerste gekom in my graad. |
| Becky: ...which means "I came first in my grade." |
| Becky: Okay, what's the next word? |
| Chesney: huil sommer |
| Becky: meaning "just cry." What can you tell us about this phrase? |
| Chesney: This expression is used to say that you feel so strongly that you want to cry. |
| Becky: Can it be used for both happy and sad situations? |
| Chesney: Yes, it doesn’t matter if you’re crying because you’re sad or because you’re happy. |
| Becky: Can you give us an example using this word? |
| Chesney: Sure. For example, you can say, Ek huil sommer so bly is ek. |
| Becky: ...which means "I just want to cry, I am so happy." |
| Becky: Okay, now onto the lesson focus. |
