Syntax.

I. O'er Folsinne.
I. Sentences,

1. 'n Folsin is di héle uitdrukking fan di sin fan ons gedagte.	1. A sentence is the full statement of the sense of our thought.
2. Di dele fan 'n folsin is enkele sinne.	2. The parts of a sentence are simple propositions.
3. Di enkele shine bestaan weer uit klynere déle.	3. Propositions are again divided into small parts.
4. Di klynere déle is weer saamgesteld uit woorde.	4. These smaller parts are again composed of words.
5. So kan ons 'n fols in op 3 manire uitmakaar haal.	5. Thus we can analyse a sentence in 3 ways.
Foorbeeld.	Example.
Folsin: ‘Myn fader roep fer my; daarom moet ek gaan.’	Sentence: ‘My father calls me; therefore I must go.’
Enkele Sinne: 1) ‘Myn fader roep fer my;’ 2) ‘Ek moet gaan.’	Propositions: 1) ‘My father calls me.’ 2) ‘I must go.’
Klynere parte:- Onderwerp, waarfan 'n mens praat. Gesegde, wat 'n mens fan di onderwerpe sê. Foorwerp, waar di werking fan di onderwerp op o'ergaan. Bepaling, wat enige deel fan di sin nader bepaal.	Smaller parts:- Subject, of which we speak. Predicate, what we say of the subject. Object, upon which the action of the predicate goes over. Enlargement, to qualify any part of the sentence nearer.
6. Laat ons nou 'n sin in klynere parte ferdeel, neem: ‘Di brawe fader straf syn stoute seun uit liifde.’	6. Let us now analyse a sentence into smaller parts, take: ‘The good father chastises his naughty son through love.’
Onderwerp: fader. Bepaling fan Onderwerp: di brawe.	Subject: father. Enlargement of Subject; the good.
Gesegde: straf. Bepaling fan Gesegde: uit liifde.	Predicate: chastises. Enlargement of Predicate; through love.
Foorwerp: seun. Bepaling fan foorwerp: syn stoute	Object: son. Enlargement of object: his naughty.
7. Dan kan ons 'n sin nog ferder oplos in woorde. Di forige word genoem redekunstige en hiir-di taalkundige ontleding in Hollanse taalkunde. Neem diselfde sin:-	7. We can further divide a sentence into words. The former is called analysis, and this parsing. Take the same sentence:-
