Claud, a bunch of S. Africans I work with have got me saying lekker all the time, then I saw it on some page about Amsterdam. My understanding is that it means something really good, like my grandmas fried chicken is lekker. My question is what they are saying in S Africa the same as dutch I was assuming so b/c of the history there, but wanted to make sure, in case the dutch use it for something different.

the s. african language sure is enriched by some dutch words

and the word lekker can mean different things

IE i like the food - had ayten is lekker

IE that lady looks very nice - dee dahme seedder lekker uit...
(i dont know how to translate the last word)

lekker - Dutch

shit - English

mon - Jamaican

Would this be tri-lingual?
