All this time people have been calling out carrots to me?

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

[@alyanahzoe]

​@@LearnWelshPodcast yeah 😂😂😂

[@calthekonqueror312]

100 in Welsh literally is the c-word spelled can't but is literally pronounced like the word that has a u instead.

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

It depends on the accent. When I say 100, it sounds like Can’t. But when I say it quickly, then people think I’m swearing at them. 😂

[@richardwroth1656]

Bore Da Jason, I was born in Holyhead christened in Llanfihangel. First time trying Welsh since getting to Perth Australia in 1970. Only small steps now but showing slight improvement. The podcasts are a great help. Thanks tor your effort. Cheers Mark

[@sophie_drachen]

I know that "cont" is used as slang in Caernarfon, as a sort of term of endearment.

[@keneasley33]

Not to mention the Welsh slang word "butt"...lol

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

I will definitely be talking about ‘butt’ in a future video. 😀

[@bri-annaedwardine1697]

[@Isagea7]

Bri-Anna Edwardine it means “pal” or “buddy”. Its basically saying “hey bud” but for some reason we say “butt” lololol

Welsh Words That Sound Rude To English Speakers Learn Welsh Podc love louis shirley

[@devito501]

Why is the language different from north An south? I am learning by the way

[@Blackfox_Kitsune]

different clans so the langues gets mutated. it's the same with old Scottish Gallic before they were forbidden from speaking it and wearing their tartan it would be mutated to being a bit different from clan to clan. when you take the English language apart you in fact find it's made up of MANY languages and has mutated into what we know as English today it's a sort of trade language. you'll find in English there are some words used in different county and towns that other parts do not use. slang words, they could be speaking a whole other language in some areas because the words they use and the ascent mutates the language. Wales is no different in that regard.

[@AlasdairColl]

Gaelic is still in use in Scotland. Well, alive and kicking.

[@Isagea7]

Idk if ur still learning a year later or if you are even gonna see this but... basically it’s not necessarily different in the North and South but they do have different versions of words. Like in the North you might say “piws” but in the south you would say “porffor” both meaning purple lol

[@silverderf]

Hello Jason ! My Welsh grandmother used to use a word, kind of occurs or expression of dismay, that sounded like " Jollarod " 😄 that's the best I can do. I figured it probably starts with G ... Do you have any idea what it might actually be and how it's spelled ? Thanks !

[@bubbley1234]

CYNTA(F) !!!

[@blaiseamybensley5739]

When I first heard Esgusodwch fi, the “sodwch” part sounded like “sod off!” (A not so polite way to ask someone to move themselves out of your way.)

[@pcjplasterer5661]

I'll be sure to use these words.

[@ckoa8280]

Ye btw I’m welsh too and doesn’t know how to spell everything but ye I tried

[@simonjlkoreshoff3426]

Why do online translators give other welsh translations for these words. For example greed is translated as trachwant. The same translator translates gwanc as greed. However another translates greed as trachwant and gwanc as ‘a thirst’.

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

Simon JL Koreshoff There are often several meanings for each Welsh word. For example, Gwanc is described in one Welsh dictionary as meaning: greed, rapacity, voracity and craving, while Trachwant can mean covetousness, cupidity and lust, as well as greed.

[@simonjlkoreshoff3426]

Learn Welsh Podcast thanks. It’s a bit confusing. I guess you learn the most appropriate term to use in a particular context through conversation with native welsh speakers.

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

Simon JL Koreshoff It can mean thirst in the sense of wanting something very much, as in a thirst for riches. The problem with translating Welsh to English or vice versa is that each language has its own way of describing things that don’t necessarily translate exactly into either language.

[@simonjlkoreshoff3426]

Learn Welsh I’m enjoying your podcasts. You speak clearly showing good movement with your mouth. It helps hearing the welsh pronounced several times.

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

Simon JL Koreshoff I’m glad you’re enjoying the podcast lessons.

[@dewifrancis1299]

Best believe I’m going around calling everyone a carrot

[@martinstent5339]

I knew moron would be carrot. Carrot is morot in Swedish and Möhre in German. It kind of sounded similar.

[@AlasdairColl]

Da iawn, diolch yn fawr! Moron = Mohrrüben, as carrots are known in parts of Germany, or "Möhren". The latter may sound more Scandinavian than Welsh to some. Little surprise, as this term is mostly used up north. In my part of Germany, we call them "geäle Roiwe" (yellow roots). Ruure Roiwe = betys/beetroot. It may be of interest to you that in my part of Germany, formerly Celtic settled, there are two place-names that still have "nant" in them in the same meaning it has in Cymraeg, or in the dialects of the Jura and Savoie in eastern France and western Switzerland...as I recently told my mate Dewi Prysor from Ffestiniog, whom I first met up in Berneray (Beàrnaraigh Chaolas na Hearadh ann an Gàidhealtachd na h-Albann 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿). Those two place-names are Nanzenbach near Dillenburg, in a narrow side glen of the Dill, and Nanz in the narrow glen of the Walgerbach...

[@cailewis7598]

Twll dy dyn ti

[@wayne501roberts]

First of all you pronounce the word Moron quickly,not slow like he did otherwise it will sound like your calling someone names, secondly it's not very often i would say cyntaf,I would always change the c to a g and say gyntaf. When you pronounce it with a G it doesn't really sound rude at all.And as for the word gwanc,that must be some south walian crap,up here in the north the Welsh word for greed is barus.

[@Isagea7]

wayne501roberts woah woah woah lol people say Moron differently he’s prolly from closer to West Wales or something also if u say gyntaf on its own, it’s technically wrong: C turns to G if u “treiglo” it. You can only do that if you put “yn” in front of it e.e. Yn gyntaf. That’s what I have to say, I respect what you said, and I hope you can respect my reply

[@robwatts9437]

Sorry you sound simple

Welsh is just distorted English

[@LearnWelshPodcast]

Dim o gwbl! Wyt ti’n gwybod beth dw i’n dweud i chi?

[@michaelc3977]

I’m not sure if that’s true, but the Welsh do like to hide on England’s coattail and present themsleves as British. Dydw i ddim yn siŵr a yw hynny'n wir, ond mae'r Cymry yn hoffi cuddio ar gôt Lloegr ac yn cyflwyno temlau fel Prydeinig.

[@despajacob6594]

Michael C well I hate welsh because my welsh teacher is a bitch but I have no problem with the language, I also hate that it is a compulsory gcse when if you’re not working in Wales it’s pointless along with welsh bac

[@michaelc3977]

Welsh is a compulsory GCSE subject in Wales? What a waste of time when you could be learning something of value. If I was you I would attend class just so you don’t get into trouble, but my mind would be on something more beneficial.
