[edit] "To school"

I posted this on the Afrikaans discussion page, but got no answer, so I am contacting a real Afrikaans speaker - hope you don't mind! I seem to remember being told that, while Dutch has "naar school", Afrikaans has IPA /skweltu/ - not sure how it's written... If true, is changing a preposition to a postposition an influence from one of the substratum languages? Thanks. Jpaulm 15:51, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the very complete, and fascinating, discussion of "skooltoe"! I am still interested, and I found this very interesting... So it may be a case of reinforcement of an idea - sort of like the double negatives in a lot of languages :-) Jpaulm (talk) 00:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
