English to afrikaans meaning of

Die woordeboekdefinisie van die woord mylpaal is 'n belangrike gebeurtenis of stadium in die ontwikkeling of vordering van iets, wat tipies 'n noemenswaardige prestasie of keerpunt aandui. Die term het ontstaan uit die praktyk om mylpale op 'n pad te merk om die afstand afgelê aan te dui, met elke mylpaal wat 'n sekere aantal myl verteenwoordig. Vandag word die term metafories gebruik om beduidende prestasies of landmerke in 'n verskeidenheid kontekste te beskryf, soos in persoonlike of professionele projekte, akademiese strewes of sake-ondernemings.
