Seriously, Cymraeg?

morwyr = sailors
morwr = sailor

gyrwyr = drivers
gyrrwr = driver

ymwelwyr = visitors

So what do you think visitor is? Ymwelwr maybe? Or ymwelrwr?

No. Ymwelydd, of course.

Just had two trays of easter eggs delivered to go to Zac's tomorrow. Currently in the boot of my car. Will have to go to bed now to stop myself weakening and fetching one.

So Welsh is as unpredictable as any other language, then?

Interesting language quirks for Welsh, as for all languages. When I chose to attend college in Turkey I did not know that Turkish is considered one of the most difficult languages to learn. I didn't know that at the time, thank goodness.

I would fail Welsh.

As long as you have a go at speaking welsh it doesn't matter if you get something wrong.

Liz Hinds said...

It certainly is, Boud.
How did you get on, Terra?
I pass each lesson, Marie, but after I've done the next one the first one leaves my brain.
I'm too scared, Chris! My mind goes blank.

I love hearing Welsh.

Other languages seem very confusing to me. Sometimes I have a hard enough time with English.

Donald Trump is a welsh carrot, which explains the orange colour ;-)
