Welsh Learners Chat and Support Thread

[alexpolismum]

Diolch cardibach for the idea!

I'm just getting started as a learner so that's my limit in Welsh so far!

This is where we can chat, use our Welsh as we are learning and give each other help/ advice/ encouragement, etc.

Thanks for the support!

Smiling are you a beginner learner? I got that impression from your thread. Sorry if I'm wrong! If so, have a look here lots of free material to help you get started!

Mais what does your name mean? Hoff is like so I'm guessing something like maisy likes cingras?

er, it means 'give me strength' but best not to use it in front of your welsh teacher or your DCs for that matter! I name changed to this the other day when I was wound up by the thread on welsh being a dead language & learning it was a waste of time

that's great! [sgwennu'r frawddeg]

Ma(e) isho(eisiau) ffwcin (sure you can work that one out!) gras

literally translated it's sort of 'One needs f'ing grace' but it's our phrase for Give me strength. So you could say 'Ma' isho gras' which would cut out the swear word. Not sure where you live though, I think it's a North Walian phrase.

O mam bach mae'n bwrw eira'n ofnadwy yn fan hyn rwan
test Roughly - Jesus it's snowing loads here now

mam bach must be something like mamma mia in Italian.

Diolch, mais! I got the mae isho has soon as you said it was "give me strength" and I realised it wasn't hoff.

No point worrying about where I live I'm not even in Wales!

(I'm not following you around this morning, honest! )

yes exactly 'alex', like mamma mia!

not sure what the word for stalker is in Welsh

I'm in Kent but my blood comes from the gogs in Meirionnydd so I'll use it

I have "gog blood" too, eatyourveg. My father was from Prestatyn.
