that ( introducing a subordinate clause ) In Afrikaans the use ofthat is optional, as in English, but it is somewhat more commonly retained than in English usage. If a clause is introduced bydat , the clause follows the verb-final word order of subordinate clauses. Ifdat is absent, the clause observes the word order of main clauses, leading to the following contrast in syntax:Hy weetdat die doktor te laat kom. He knowsthat the doctor will arrive too late. Hy weet die doktor kom te laat. He knows the doctor will arrive too late. dat (feminine dada masculine plural dats feminine plural dades
