Amarok in Afrikaans

Post by Dam »

My brother went to the Nampo show yesterday and brought me a little Amarok gift pack he got there. In there is a six pack cooler bag with Amarok written on it and a sales brochure in Afrikaans nogal! Ek is beindruk! :D :hangloose:

I have no idea what you've just spoken about.

A quick google reveals that Amarok is a KDE (linux) music player, or a wolf (if you are an inuit), a spanish band or a Turkish martial art form.

I guess I'm glad that the Afrikaners feel the need to create packs of (insert your meaning of Amarok here), so yeah, pretty cool
