What is Looking forward in Afrikaans?

The direct translation of "Looking forward" in Afrikaans is "Uitsien na". However, depending on the context, it can also be expressed in other ways:

* "Vreugdevol verwag" - This is a more formal way to say "looking forward to" and implies excitement or anticipation.

* "Met verwagting wag" - This translates to "waiting with anticipation" and is similar to "looking forward to".

* "Verwag" - This simply means "expect" or "anticipate" and can be used when you are looking forward to something without necessarily expressing excitement.

Here are some examples:

* "Ek sien uit na die vakansie." (I am looking forward to the holiday.)

* "Ons wag met verwagting vir die troue." (We are waiting with anticipation for the wedding.)

* "Ek verwag 'n goeie graad in die eksamen." (I expect a good grade in the exam.)

Ultimately, the best way to translate "Looking forward" in Afrikaans depends on the specific context and the nuance you want to convey.
