This is the 14th most frequent Afrikaans word.
ons
"Ons" means "we" or "us" in English.
Here, 'ons' is used as the first-person plural pronoun, meaning 'we', as the subject of the sentence.
Ons gaan vandag na die park toe.
We are going to the park today.
In this sentence, 'ons' is part of the possessive structure 'ons s'n', meaning 'ours', to indicate possession.
Die boek is ons s'n.
The book is ours.
'Ons' again serves as the first-person plural pronoun, meaning 'we', acting as the subject.
