For information on the town of Veldt, see
Veldt Township, Minnesota The term
Veld, or Veldt, refers primarily (but not exclusively) to the wide open rural spaces of
South Africa or southern
Africa and in particular to certain flatter areas or districts covered in grass or low scrub. The word comes from the
Afrikaans (ultimately from
Dutch), literally meaning 'field'. However, this simple translation does not convey the subtleties of the many idiomatic nuances of the term. Veld can be compared to the
Australian terms "
outback" or "bush," to "the
prairie" of North America, or to the "
pampas" of South America but the comparisons are not exact. A Yorkshireman might equate "wandering across the moors" to "walking through the veld."
