Only one thing to say: lower the volume of the music so we can actually hear what they're saying!

[@mkphilly]

Yeah, why do so may YTers do that!!!!?!?

[@brentertainment1958]

You can adjust the sound settings to enhance voices over music.

I don't know why it took me so long (I learned German at night school and taught myself Welsh) but CROESO is surely the same as south German GRÜSSE probably absorbed into Cymraeg from ancient Saxon and one of those words 'truer' to its origins when mutated - CROESO-> GROESO, GWYNT -> WYNT. I suspect D^WR comes from WA>TER< and TWP from S>TUP

[@Nishandh_Mayiladan]

Interesting

[@highseervehk]

Dŵr comes from Middle Welsh dwfyr, from Proto-Brythonic *duβr, from Proto-Celtic *dubros, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰubʰrós (“deep”). Croeso's origin is unknown but it's actually suspected to be related to 'croes' (cross). Twp comes from dialectal English 'tup' (fool), origin also unknown.

At the end of the day all European languages bar Basque are interrelated.

My favourite thing is that I live in MCR and when I’m ready to go I slap my knees and say ‘barod!’ and English people look at me …. are you alright?

[@lagerku.3137]

To be honest, it would still be a bit weird, if you slapped your knees and said, "Ready!" That being said, I like that. Barod is a pretty _neis_ Welsh word.

Now that I think about it. The welsh language is like the celtic equivalent of Mexican spanish. Very singsong like

[@suemichiels6420]

I dislike this video because of the background noise . You can’t hear what they say as a result which renders the whole thing useless.

[@SkinnyEMedia]

Cymraeg is one of the most interesting languages ever made. Sexy, musically inclined, bizarre, and such. Wish I went to a school in Caerdydd or Powys to pick up the lingo, boyo!

Living in England; I am asked "Tell me a Welsh Swear Word". And I surprise them. There AREN'T any. You can translate Swearing INTO Welsh. But we don't actually have Swear Words.

The most funniest 2 made up Welsh words are probably popti ping (microwave) and pysgod wibbly wobbly (jelly fish)

[@gwenrees7594]

Neither of those are actually right. Microwave is "meicrodon" and jellyfish is "sglefren fôr". Common misconception though.
