Translation of "aalmoes" into English

Niemand het vir hulle aalmoese by die stadspoort gegee nie.

No one had given them alms at the city gate.

Hulle kom elke dag hierheen, vind ’n plek waar mense waarskynlik sal verbygaan en vra aalmoese.

They come there each day, find a place where crowds are likely to pass, and publicly ask for charity.

Gevolglik het ons van aalmoese van ons uitgebreide familie gelewe.

As a result, we lived on handouts from our extended family.
