As a native speaker of the Romanian language but ignorant of the Welsh language, I noticed in this film, closer or more distant similarities with quite a few Romanian words, by sound or by writing. Most have the same meaning as those in the Romanian language. For those with a different meaning, I gave explanations: *Shwmae ~ Ce mai e? / Șe mai e? / Cum mai e?* (In romanian it is also a form of greeting, meaning: Hello / How are you? / What is new?) *da ~ da* (In Romanian it means yes. In some cases it is also used with the meaning of good.) *nos ~ noapte* *prynhawn ~ prînz* *cwrw ~ cur / cură* ("cur" in Romanian, means butt. But, it is an expression in Romanian: "Să *cură* berea!" means Let the beer *flow* ! *Cură* mens *flow* ) *dwr ~ dur* (In Romanian it means hardness) *bwyta ~ îmbuiba / burta* *caws ~ caș* *cig ~ chiag* (in Romanian it means clog} dydd *llun ~ luni* dydd *mawrth ~ marți* dydd *mercher ~ miercuri* dydd *iau ~ joi* dydd *gwener ~ vineri* dydd *sadwrn ~ sâmbătă* *dawnsio ~ dansa* *nofio ~ înota / naviga* *un ~ unu* *dau ~ doi* *tri ~ tri / trei* *pedwar ~ patru* *pimp ~ cinci* *chwech ~ șase* *saith ~ șapte* *with ~ opt* *naw ~ noua* *deg ~ zece* *ci ~ cuț* *un ci ~ un cuț* *cath ~ câț* *ceffyl ~ cal* *tri deg ~ treizeci / trizeci* *tri deg un ~ treizeci și unu* *saith deg ~ șaptezeci* *ni ~ noi* *laeth / llefrith ~ lapte* *gwirdd ~ verde* It is very interesting because Celtic tribes were reported in the territory of today's Romania more than 2000 years ago. ) )

Nice to hear! 'Eisiau' is a noun and thus 'yn' isn't used, 'yn' ('n after words that end in vowels) means that the following word is either an adjective or a verb, it also means 'in', in which case a noun can follow it. The older/proper way of phrasing first person singular 'eisiau' sentences is 'Mae eisiau arnaf (i) am ___' Same thing with 'angen' which means 'need'

Interesting. I'm German and I would say, if you mix German with English you get Dutch (or northern German dialect). So far (I only started learning Welsh a few weeks ago) I don't hear the Dutch in it, but maybe I will in the future. When I started learning Welsh I found it such a strong and powerful language. Guess because it's celtic. Scottish also sounds strong. Jokingly I always say, it sounds like Klingonish (or do you say Klingonian or Klingon in English?) 😂
