This is the 563rd most frequent Afrikaans word.


langer

"Longer"


Here, 'langer' is used as a comparative adjective to describe the length of the day compared to other seasons.

Die dag is langer in die somer.

The day is longer in the summer.


In this sentence, 'langer' conveys the idea of 'any longer', indicating the end of patience or endurance.

Ek kan nie langer wag nie.

I can no longer wait.


'Langer' here is functioning as a comparative adjective again, directly comparing the lengths of two objects.

Die liniaal is langer as die potlood.

The ruler is longer than the pencil.
