This is the 425th most frequent Afrikaans word.
ver
"Ver" in Afrikaans means "far" in English.
In this sentence, 'ver' is used as an adverb to describe distance, indicating something far away.
Ek kan die berge daar ver sien.
I can see the mountains far away.
Here, 'ver' is part of the phrase 'ver gesogte,' where it metaphorically indicates something improbable or exaggerated.
Dis 'n ver gesogte idee.
That's a far-fetched idea.
In this case, 'ver' again functions as an adverb to denote the extent to which the action takes place across the ground.
