How can you use “dosae” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The DOSAE is in some respects a reflection of the contact history of South Africa, played out in terms of the English lexicon.
It is also through this and earlier editions of the DOSAE that one learned, to one's surprise, of the South African provenance of words like off-load unload, bottle store liquor store, butchery butcher's shop, and bond mortagage bond.
On the whole, I recommend DOSAE highly for anyone wishing to get to grips with English in South Africa.
According to the Branfords' own calculations (made in 1988) the source languages for items in the DOSAE were 48 per cent Dutch/Afrikaans; 29 per cent English (i.e., neologisms); 11 per cent Bantu languages, and 12 per cent other.
There is certainly a need for words of Afrikaans origin that recur in English texts (often for local color effect) to be glossed somewhere: a reference work like the DOSAE might be more convenient for readers than an Afrikaans or Xhosa or some other dictionary.
