antwoorde

Antwoorde is an Afrikaans noun meaning “answers.” It is the plural form of antwoord, the word for “answer.” The singular form is antwoord. Antwoorde is widely used in contexts involving responses to questions, such as exams, surveys, FAQs, and everyday conversations. In written Afrikaans, it often appears where multiple responses are referred to or presented.

Etymology and forms: Antwoorde derives from the Dutch word antwoord. In Afrikaans, many nouns form plurals with the suffix -e, producing antwoorde from antwoord. This pluralization pattern distinguishes Afrikaans from Dutch, where the corresponding plural is antwoorden.

Usage and examples: Common contexts include education, media, customer service, and problem-solving discussions. Example usage (in Afrikaans): Die antwoorde op die vrae is korrek. The term is primarily a noun and is not used as a verb form in standard Afrikaans.

Relation to Dutch and Afrikaans context: Antwoorde reflects the Afrikaans spelling and pluralization conventions and is distinct from the Dutch plural antwoorden or antwoorden. In Dutch-language contexts, you would typically encounter antwoorden as the plural noun.
