What ever pops in to my head, I usually let it roll through my fingers to the blog.

To be honest, that is the best writing! I did this in some areas of my Master's thesis and somehow it just worked. The people who marked my thesis and reviewed it stated their joy reading it. So, my friend, let it just roll (and flow) through your fingers into your blogs.

Mitä silmä ei näe - sitä sydän ei sure.

Beautiful! (I listened through google translate and that sounded really poetic to my untrained ear.)

So many nie -words!

One of the quirks in Afrikaans that non-native speakers cannot do! This is one of the markers in Afrikaans where you can spot a non-native speaker almost immedietely.

In most languages, especially germanic ones, like English and Dutch you negate with one word:

"I did not eat the apple"
"Ik heb de appel niet gegeten"

In Afrikaans we have a double negation:

"Ek het nie die appel geëet nie".

In my own poetry and other poetry, we sometimes leave the last "nie" out. Most Afrikaans language "purists" (yes we have language purist groups) cannot stand the drop of the second "nie". Funny.
