What is a "club cab"?
Voetleuce en fênsievry
I'm a translator and we need a translation for "club cab". We need to
know where the word "club" comes from in this context, or what the
word means in this context. We could just translate the words
directly, as in "club"+"cab" (which, in Afrikaans, would render
"klubkajuit"), but that would be insufficient without at least some
indication of where "club" fits in.
The club cab, AFAICT, is a double cab with only one set of doors.
Often, the second set of seats are smaller than the front seats, and
often contain containers underneath the seats. Your definition of
"club cab" may be better :-).
Thanks in advance.
No, "club cab" is not a trade name (not anymore, at least).

group.
I believe the "club cab" name was used to describe the cab as being large
enough to hold a club, or to be a club facility. Why would you try to
combine the two words club and cab when translating. Can't you just leave it
as two separate words?

which context the word "club" was being used in the model name of the truck.
A noun is a word used to name a person, animal, place, thing, and abstract
idea. Some examples of the word "club" as a noun in a sentence would be: I
am going to the CLUB. I am now a member of the CLUB. Hand me that CLUB so I
can.... A verb or compound verb asserts something about the subject of the
sentence and express actions, events, or states of being. An example of the
word "club" as a verb would be: ....CLUB you in the head if you can't
figure this out. ;^) Anyway, this is about autos, not English lessons. It is
still my opinion that the origin, context, and meaning in which "club" is
being used for translation to Afrikaans is (drumroll pleease!) : big.

to "country club", the W.A.S.P. hang out where the "elite" of society walk
around beating the crap out of a small white or yellow ball and calling it
fun.
For evidence I offer the following: racist rules in most country clubs until
the 70's, the fuss over Tiger Woods a few years back at the Master's, the
discriminatory actions over a handicapped player and the current hesitancy
to accept women players into the Master Tournament.

I think in Afrikaans it should relate to the fact that a club is needed to
keep the inside riders under control! Those in the rear of the bakkie are
normally well behaved.

I think it was originally used in reference to being able to store a bag of golf clubs inside the cab:

bridge or other card games; also it could be a group ogf preadolecent boys
who have a tree house or other structure in which they meet (the latter
being in some ways like the adult social institution previously mentioned,
though in this case the opposite gender (particularly if preadolecent too)
are excluded, again similar to some of the perviously mentioned social
institutions -- hmmm, maybe a sociologist would have something to say on
this, but I digress.
In the context of the pick up truck cab I suppose the idea was to convey
that a small group (three or four, as opposed to only two or three) could
fit in it. Perhaps, for translation, you could describe it as a P/U cab w/
jump seats (does "jump seat" translate well?) If one needed *more* room one
bought a crew cab (4 full doors) pick up instead, because it could seat a
whole crew (e.g. up to 6, if elbow room was not an issue).

get better seats), no?
Perhaps it could translate as "bigger cab" or "bigger passenger
compartment", as opposed to "big..." which might imply 'large" or "biggest"
vs. the actual case of "medium". Note a regular P/U cab would then be
"small" so there is a progression upward in size/scale.

In Afrikaans we write one concept as one word. "club cab" is a single
noun which in English consists of two words. In Afrikaans a single
noun will be written as a single word.

The quad cab in ZA is called a "double cab", if my understanding is
correct. Four seats with four full doors (two on each side). If you
were to use the word "quad cab" in ZA, it might be mistaken for "a cab
on a quad bike".

Thanks for that... I had the same feeling. Collins describes club
class as being less roomy than the first class, but more roomy than
economy class. This "club" could, then, simply refer to the fact that
it is somewhat roomier and a tad up the social ladder :-)

That has always been my impression as manufacturers love aircraft

That's how German works too I believe (example: "farfugnugen" - just
kidding about that word).
