I only know that lekker means cool in Afrikaans and that Afrikaans is very close to Dutch. I’m not versed enough to know if this sentence is in Afrikaans or Dutch.

I also know that “the” is “die” in Afrikaans. Because I saw a book called “die bible” on someone’s table and thought it was a way cooler book than it was. With the “de” I’m back to thinking Dutch?

"Lekker" actually means tasty in Dutch, however it can be used as "enjoyable" or something in this context, kind of weird actually

In Afrikaans it’s like calling something “rad” or “cool”. Like “lekker mate” when someone asks how you are.

Yeah, I think rad might be a decent translation in Dutch aswell
