giet

Giet is a word used in Dutch and Afrikaans as the present tense form of the verb gieten, meaning to pour liquids or to cast molten metal into a mold. In both languages, giet functions as the third-person singular form, as in sentences like hij giet water in een glas or zij giet melk.

In practical use, giet appears in everyday contexts involving pouring, such as cooking, serving drinks, or metalworking. Because gieten can refer to both pouring liquids and casting, giet and its related forms are common across a wide range of domains, from domestic scenes to industrial settings. The imperative form for giving a direct instruction to one person can also appear as giet, depending on construction.

Afrikaans mirrors the Dutch usage, with giet serving similarly as the present tense form of giet (to pour). The meaning remains aligned with pouring liquids or casting, and the word commonly appears in domestic, culinary, and technical contexts within Afrikaans-speaking communities.
