What did you have for lunch

Yr Wyydfa

 

Sorry slightly confused ! What did they serve your slice of pie on ?

 

English doesn’t have the sound you need for the middle part

Err - as in error
Wy - no equivalent but it’s sound a bit like ‘guy’ with a w instead of a g.
Dd - as in the
Fa - as in far but with no r at the end.

Err- as in error
yrri - as in curry with no c at the start.

 

Cuppa soup toast and some Cantal from when it's gone.

 

Ty Di!

 

You are correct about the accents, but not to the degree they manifestly change the word itself. North Walians tend to use different words all together.

It’s interesting as most of the translators (babelfish, Google etc.) are based on a North Walian dictionary from Bangor University or a translation service based in Caernarfon….which have these different words.

I’ve been asked by friends who are learning using those systems and you’ll get a word we never use in the south e.g. boy= bachgen in south wales boy= hogyn in North Wales.

The language itself, like all languages is ever changing. The challenge for English speakers is some sounds central to Welsh have no equivalent in English at all so even spelling words as sounds does not work e.g. ch, ff and dd….all count as one letter in the Welsh alphabet but the ch there is no similar sound, ff is kind of like using an exasperated f (e.g. the f you use when you swear having dropped the dump plug into the oil container your using to capture oil on an oil change), and dd is fairly close to ‘the’ but not quite.

 

Are we still on topic… not mine!



Roast chicken apparently

 

sing along

 

That looks very much like the offerings I have had
In Southampton hospital for the last couple of weeks

 

Chicken tikka masala for dinner then out for a carvery for tea. Qué Jabba the Hutt laugh.

 

No, I think he got done for sexually harassing fish by kissing them without their permission.

 

Horseradish sauce.
