hey you Affrikanners what gives?

Perhaps, to obtain the answer to all of this, one should reflect on the meaning of the word 'Politics' - going back to the original roots of the word:

The first part of the word, "poli", comes from the Greek "poly" which means many or multiple off... as in polygamist 🙂

The second part of the word, "tics", comes from the English language... as in "blood sucking parasites!"

There... that explains it 🙂

The word politics is derived from the Greek poli, meaning 'citizen', and the Greek suffix -ics, which denotes a body of facts or knowledge. So, the word 'politics' literally means knowledge of being a citizen. 😛

Firstly, it was a joke.

Secondly:

'Poli' is the vocative singular of 'polis', which is loosely translated as 'city-state'.

'Polites' is the ancient Greek word for 'citizen'.

'poli' is actually a citizen of the state! Fact! so you are only half right, if nearly anything at all! Polis has no singular - it is a singular stand alone word of which the [b]plural is poleis!
