TheSome followingcommonly used particles can be considered{{by whom|date=January 2020}} the most prominent in [[Afrikaans]] include:
* ''nie''<sub>2</sub>: Afrikaans has a [[Double negative#Other Germanic languages|double negation system]], as in ''Sy is nie<sub>1</sub> moeg nie<sub>2</sub>'' 'She is not tired '''<small>PTCL.NEG</small>'''<nowiki/>' (meaning 'She is not tired'). The first ''nie''<sub>1</sub> is analysed as an adverb, while the second ''nie''<sub>2</sub> as a negation particle.
* ''te'': Infinitive verbs are preceded by the [[complementiser]] ''om'' and the infinitival particle ''te'', e.g. ''Jy moet onthou om te eet'' 'You must remember for <small>COMP</small> '''<small>PTCL.INF</small>''' eat' (meaning 'You must remember to eat').
