Tea room discussion[edit]

Note: the below discussion was moved from the Wiktionary:Tea room.

Any South Africans or etymologists know where the interjection magtig comes from? Afrikaans. Dutch for sure, but are there words like mig or tag that are the roots? --Jackofclubs 16:16, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it’s from machtig. —Stephen 01:19, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
