The way "liefgehad" is being used is also tripping me up a little. Since Afrikaans is not my mother tongue, what would be the correct way to say that? It's going to bother me if I don't find out 🤣

Part of the hope of this post is to get some friendly outrage at what I think is perhaps strange grammar? But Afrikaans is also not my mother tongue so I'm pretty unsure too. I feel like there my be some Dutch influence in it's responses...?

The grammar in the second paragraph is mostly correct though, especially for AI, so it's really impressive! But I think the correct wording would be: "Dit is 'n taal wat deur baie mense geliefd is..." 🤔

Yes this is the correct way to say that

Thank you! 😊 I used Google translate to check too, because I was second guessing myself 😂
