Learning Welsh Language - Now You're Talking 1

Now You're Talking is a great way to learn Welsh, making it simple and easy.

For those thinking Shwmai is odd spelling. It isn’t really. It’s a contraction of Sut+mae+hi i.e How is it? A variant of it (Sumai?) is used in North Wales. Gogs don’t always say “Sut dach chi?”

[@sthenotheG]

Sut dach chi? in the North is the same as Shwd ych chi? in the South, not Shwmai.

shwmae not shwmai

Thank you

I learnt Welsh in mid Wales and the prof chose south, as she was based in Aberystwyth university, but even we taught ydy'chi not simply dych. Some of the things you were commenting on would have blown her mind too. A teaching app is no place to teach short cuts.

Diolch!❤🃏💖

Shwmai? never seen it spelled that way before. I have seen the spelling "sut mae".

[@vladimirthegreen6097]

Sut mae it's like "how are your deal?"

[@Fin0Jay]

I believe shwmae is S.Wales and sut mae is more formal and more common in N.Wales

[@fabulouschild2005]

I've seen all sorts: Siwmae, shwmae, s'mae, sut mae, sut dych chi, sut dach chi
