THe meaning of "ASJA"?

hee hee - Yeah it is often used here!

Cape Town is the BEST place in the world!

Glad I could have helped...

Pronounced: isja (is and ja in Afrikaans together)

LOL it's spelled "eish ja" my son uses it all the time can get annoying sometimes.

LMAO

Lollipop, wow. I must move to cape town. My little one loves it when I say it, but I think I pronounced it slightly wrong.

In gauteng we have the phrase "jisis", which also means "dit is so"/It is so. It is a source of great confusion between white conservative christians and their domestics, since the afrikaans people see it as blashpemy because it sounds like Jesus in afrikaans.

I just love south africa!!

Gloei, I take the train and not a day goes by without me hearing it...most of the time it is pronounced "hhhhisjjaaaaa"

Thank you babyshoes! I never would have guessed, is this a phrase that gets used often in cape town? Goggatjie is a cape town production, so that is why I am wondering.

gloeiwurmpie - I just asked one of the girls I work with about the term..


its actually isja, she says it means "dit is so" - it is like it is basically!..

I learnt something new now too
