May 2011 | tipsku | Prynhawn or short p'nawn is the correct spelling for afternoon. Shw mae is the spelling adopted by the BBC Learn Welsh section, Sch is quite 'un-Welsh' Dim problem instead of problemio - never heard problem as a verb form before never heard trygerethr before, junk is jync (Welsh spelling) or sothach (Welsh word). might be a slang form Blwyddyn newydd dda, so almost spot on this one, well done. well done, da iawn! nice list. I wanted to put the accent on the y in Ty bach but Fetch doesn't accept that character. The word Ymofynwr for Fetchie was new to me, thanks for that. Regards (Cofion) a Welsh medium lecturer :o) |
