Tell me... what else do you trust Google for? I dont seem to recall at any point saying that I trust Google for anything. I just stated that that was how Google translated it. Wind your neck in.

T8HANTS Posted 25 August , 2017 Share Posted 25 August , 2017 One of my regrets is that although my Mother was a Welsh speaker, she didn't teach me the language and by all accounts my Grandfather was considered a Bard of some ability. He left a suitcase full of poems (written of scraps of paper) which I remember seeing as a child, but couldn't find when I cleared the family home. The other strange thing is I never heard my Mothers Welsh accent, although my Aunts and Uncles had most pronounced lovely South Welsh which I used to mimic something awful when they came to stay, but Mother's I never heard, yet her friends said she never lost it. Odd that! Gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Dave I don't speak either but I am half Welsh and lived in Wales for a time then Scotland for many years. Language experts can explain how the same word can end up changing in predictable ways in the languages but you do start to notice similarities without a detailed knowledge of the languages. Beach - traeth and tràigh Church - eglwys and eaglais School - ysgol and sgoil "Ty Bach" is small house and is used in Welsh for that small house at the bottom of the garden :-), I asked a Gaelic speaking friend if they do anything similar with their equivalent Taigh Beag! I believe they do. Edited 15 May , 2019 by mbriscoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 15 May , 2019 Share Posted 15 May , 2019 Go on, show me a picture of the pub. Penrhos Arms, where my mother had piano lessons in the 1930s... You will have taken these shots standing in front of Britannia Terrace, where my GF lived when he attested in 1915 (see my post #4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbriscoe Posted 15 May , 2019 Share Posted 15 May , 2019 I only noticed there was a pub across the road because I took a picture of the Chinese Takeaway for someone on FLICKR who has a group for photographs of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
