I'm trying to study Afrikaans on my own, using a very old book
written by an Englishman and published in the 1930's. One of the
first lessons contains the following sentence:
"Skrywe ek met die pen? Ja, ek skrywe met die pen"
Why does it say "skrywe" and not "skryf" here? Also, according
to this book, either...or and neither...nor translate into
Afrikaans as óf...óf and nóg...n�g. Do people still write these
with the accents nowadays?
Thanks,
Marco

Older form. Means the same thing.
