Off Topic The Welsh Language

No, just his facts.

 

Hardly a fact.

 

Opinions are subjective meaning, based on or influenced by personal feelings. However, i don't see what is wrong in acknowledging whatever sort of pigeon Welsh you speak, Valley is right and you are wrong.

It's a bit like me arguing with a Scottish person, the slang will be different, but along pops an English teacher and corrects us both, not that the Scotsman would agree with the English teacher but in this case you are Welsh and so is Valley, so he is right and you my friend have to accept you are wrong, in the sense you are at the very least are diluting the Welsh language.

 

You would though, definitely.


Then you’d ban him.

 

Don't they all?

I'm the only person in my house who doesn't speak Welsh, thank ****, but I often hear English words thrown in. My kids ago to a Welsh medium school too, so they can speak it properly, so to speak. Not that that they do outside of school.

I roomed with a bloke from Carmarthenshire on golf tour last weekend, proper western gog. He phoned his wife a couple of times and rambled on in Welsh to her and was throwing English words in left, right and centre.

It's bollocks to say they don't.

 

This is amusing. Matth pretending to speak Welsh and not be gay in the same thread.

So essentially, Valley is speaking real Welsh and Matth is speaking a pidgin of Welsh and English and calling it "North Welsh".

I'm thinking of starting my own Welsh dialect. Norther Welsh. It will be all English but we occasionally throw in a Welsh word. That would be da.

 

I think sometimes when you are fluent in more than one language, you start cross referencing the languages, even when writing if you go into auto pilot. So yes, what you say is true.

 

.... primary school?

 

Is it true that ^Yucky da" is Welsh for "caught my father knocking out a crafty one" ?

 

It is in Norther Welsh.

Mange tout Rodney, mange tout.

French, that is. For the linguists among you.

 

Yes they mostly do, not often with my Wife but she's first language Welsh. Point was though that Matth was trying to make out that the English words he was putting in were correct and that it was a North and South thing which is bollox.

 

Matth in Welsh is

True story
