They havent really given the world Ben Nevis have they, its still there!
True. The Welsh alphabet goes a, b, c, ch, d, dd, e, f, ff, g, ng, h, i , j, l, ll, m, n, o, p, ph, r, rh, s, t, u, w, y.
Paned? Dim diolch.
Ah, I see you've learnt a bit of the language, Mr Roll.
They speak better English than those up north.
"Paned" is the correct expression, this is a way of saying "would you like a cup of tea?". And "diolch yn fawr" means "thank you very much".
With Welsh words, you pronounce them exactly the same way as they are spelt. There are no exceptions like in English. However, on a cheery note, "banana" is the same in both languages.
nope
Correct. Some of the letters in the alphabet sound very similar to one another during speech. A lot depends on local dialects. For example, the Welsh spoken in South Wales is very different to that in the Lleyn Peninsula.
llangollen is ...clangoclen
There is one word, however, that I still cannot for the life of me pronounce: the longest place name in Wales. It's in Anglesey.
"Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch"
Come on, pronounce that! I can't, and I'm fluent in the language.
it's not just scotland. we direct it at any country
Or any area within a country. Such as Hull. Or Leeds.
yes. but especially hull and leeds cause they are hovels
Anglesey is about one hour away from me.
