"Dit moet wys hoe baie ek omgee.

"It has to show how much I care."

"Johan glimlag laggend.

Johan smiles, laughing.

"Moet dit regtig so moeilik wees?

"Does it really have to be that hard?

Dalk soek jy net té hard.

Maybe you're just looking too hard.

Kies iets wat hartlik voel.

Choose something that feels heartfelt."

"It's perfect," she whispers, her eyes lighting up as if she has discovered a treasure.

Johan glimlag en knik.

"Dis pragtig.

Dis die betekenis wat tel, nie die prys nie.

It's the meaning that counts, not the price."

"Met haar besluit gemaak, koper Anika die armband.

Ek dink sy gaan daarvan hou.

I think she'll love it."
