dat

1. that (introducing a subordinate clause)

• In Afrikaans the use of that is optional, as in English, but it is somewhat more commonly retained than in English usage. If a clause is introduced by dat, the clause follows the verb-final word order of subordinate clauses. If dat is absent, the clause observes the word order of main clauses, leading to the following contrast in syntax:

  Hy weet dat die doktor te laat kom.

  He knows that the doctor will arrive too late.

  Hy weet die doktor kom te laat.

  He knows the doctor will arrive too late.
