My tandarts (manlik en vroulik) Explanation: If you meant "My Dentists (male and female)", then the Afrikaans would be "My tandartse (manlik en vroulik)", but if you meant "My Dentist (male or female)", then the Afrikaans is "My tandarts (manlik of vroulik)". If, on the other hand, you were looking for the female word or the male word, well, in Afrikaans we seldom distinguish between sexes with the words for occupations any more. The words for "secretary", "nurse", and "typist" are three exceptions. |
