aktiewe
Aktiewe is an Afrikaans term meaning "active." It functions as an adjective to describe something that is in operation, functioning, or engaged in activity. The base form is aktief, and aktiewe is the common attributive form used before nouns and in predicative constructions. In everyday language, it is used to describe people (for example, aktiewe leerders – active learners) as well as processes and systems (aktiewe praktyke – active practices; aktiewe vraag – an active question). In grammar, Afrikaans distinguishes two voice possibilities for verbs: aktiewe stem (active voice) and passiewe stem (passive voice), with aktiewe describing the agent's action.
Etymology: aktiewe derives from Dutch actief, reflecting Afrikaans's Germanic roots. It is cognate with English active
Usage notes: As with many Afrikaans adjectives, aktiewe changes form to agree with the noun it modifies
