rekening

rekening

The Afrikaans word "rekening" means "account" or "bill" in English.

In this context, 'rekening' refers to a financial account, such as a bank account.

Ek het my rekening by die bank nagegaan.

I checked my account at the bank.

Here, 'rekening' is used to mean the bill one receives usually after a meal in a restaurant.

Die rekening vir die aandete was heel billik.

The bill for the dinner was quite reasonable.

While this isn't directly using 'rekening,' in expressions like 'in ag neem' (consider or account for), a variation arises from the idea of taking into account, showcasing its conceptual flexibility.

Ek neem in ag dat die weersveranderinge ons planne kan beïnvloed.

I consider that the changes in weather might affect our plans.
