Idiomatic Explanation: First the translation: 'Ons is vandag hier versamel, in die pragtige stadsaal op Delft, om die huweliksplegtigheid van X en Y te vier.' - This would be most idiomatically correct, but does not include the 'Welcome'. Important to note: 'op Delft' and not 'in Delft' More direct translation: 'Welkom in die pragtige stadsaal hier op Delft, waar ons vandag by mekaar kom om die huweliks plegtigheid van X en Y te vier.' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-07-09 12:14:57 (GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Dear chris, you have made your choice: I would like to point out that there are some mistakes in it though - huwelik is marraige, not wedding. and as I have stated in my answer, not \'in Delft\' but \'op Delft\' - Native Afrikaans speaking South African. |
