English to afrikaans meaning of

Die woordeboekbetekenis van die woord "formaliteit" is die nakoming van gevestigde prosedures of konvensies, veral in 'n formele opset of by 'n formele geleentheid. Dit kan ook verwys na 'n vereiste of voorwaarde wat vir wetlike of amptelike doeleindes opgelê word, dikwels as 'n saak van vorm eerder as inhoud. Daarbenewens kan formaliteit iets beteken wat op 'n formele manier gedoen word, met 'n gevoel van erns of dekorum, in teenstelling met om gemaklik of informeel te wees.
