Wales Accent, Slang Words & Trying Welsh Cakes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@michaelmullard4292]

Thanks for the fabulous tour of Cardiff! Looks like such a fun area. Any culture that values the arts and music like the Welsh do, has to be a great culture! Love seeing more of your family and friends!

[@beverlydust5381]

Lia I enjoyed watching you and your family in Wales and learning about other places the views were very beautiful and the language lesson was very interesting as well hope you had a good time.

[@DavidMoore-yd3ws]

Do they eat much Welsh rarebit in Wales?

[@christineallocca7307]

I really enjoy your travel vlogs, Lia. I'll probably never get to visit Wales, so I'll enjoy it through your eyes. Thanks!❤❤❤

[@seandesmond5560]

Great video lovely Lia!!! ❤ I was in Cardiff September last year beautiful city!!! The number of different accents in the UK is amazing! In Australia the accents in different parts of the country don't vary that much!

[@buffbuff5016]

I LOVE WALES!!!! I have been where you are walking...so beautiful and the people are lovely! ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I loved this vid about the Welsh accent! I love trying to peg accents when watching movies or entertainment shows on TV! ,Especially British mainland dialects, South African. New Zealand or Australian!❤😀Can't wait til your next vid!!😀

[@lonniekramlich6241]

Oy..Wat'eww doin, an ware'ew goin now enn butt? (Hey.. What are you doing, and where are you going then mate?) Keep up the great vids !!!

My grandfather was Welsh and my Mother and her sisters were all part of the Arts, singing, acting etc. Very much part of what they enjoyed. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Lia!I love these travel videos since I know I will never be able to go there.I would love to Scotland ,Ireland,& more Welsh places :-)

[@lindacollins4336]

I've never had or heard of Welsh cakes. They sound delicious! Thanks for sharing.

[@joyce-in-Outreach]

WELSH WORDS slang : Tidy 3:34 the word lush means AMAZING !!!!! nOW IN A MINUTE "SOON" Welsh phrases to learn was lots of fun!!!! It so fun to visit Wales !!! 6:09 I'm really impressed with Cardiff too. What does Slang mean words like song, being slim. and the word Angel.

[@LynnStAubin-od5qe]

I was in Cardiff and had welsh cakes at the bay. But Llandudno and Conwy captured my heart. I so want to go back.

[@dustyd48]

I was there in October 2019. I enjoy Wales so much.

[@kimberlyk2295]

I've lived in Washington state my whole life & I was surprised when I visited my brother in Florida & his friends said to me "I love your accent". I was like, "I don't have an accent, I live in Washington State, we don't have accents."😁 LOL!! I guess I do?? Too funny! So after the shock of it all, I said thank you.😊

[@lorilaruehueg1006]

Kimberly, maybe they're the ones with the accents!🤭😅

[@mandystory4275]

I love Washington State I've been there many times. I don't remember anybody having an accent. But people there thought I have an accent. I'm from New Mexico. Ha ha.

Wow, Patsy could have her own channel doing Welsh culture. You're both really great on camera. Very engaging.

[@bridgetryan-samonte8138]

Oh those looked good! I am enjoying your family and your food tasting!

[@beckypincalifornia1985]

Your very good accents made me laugh. During my first trip to England, Scotland, Wales and both Irelands ... was saying "what ?" a lot. Must have been very annoying to the locals ... but they were very kind and repeated until I could understand. My UK friends used to say "wha ?" and roar with laughter whenever they knew I didn't understand what they had said. Can not wait to return!

[@lorilaruehueg1006]

Hi Lia! Some of our local churches in Pennsylvania where I live, sell Welsh SORRRY! cookies but we do call them cookies here, as fundraisers. Hope I didn't trigger you! I just bought some for my husband, but they aren't my favorite. You may like them because they usually aren't as sweet as a regular cookies or biscuits, since you're a SAVORY GIRL 🤗 (new t-shirt) and SWEET for Joel🤭. I was eyeing up Joel's chocolate cookie in his NY blog myself. You're looking fantastic and happy as usual , be well, and love your vlogs, so upbeat!

[@christiansefton7639]

Your Welsh accent is brilliant. Fair play.

[@kategriffin7297]

I enjoy the video especially your Welsh accent. I’ve always loved the Welsh accent!

[@vickytaylor9155]

You can get welsh cakes in England in places like garden centre cafes. When I eat welsh cakes I eat them the proper welsh way which is warm with butter and a sprinkle of caster sugar.

[@fgorlando]

Laughed the whole time listening to you guys in the car ride! And wait... something that’s basically a shortcake pancake?? 🤯 That’s like the stuff dreams are made of. I want!!

[@elaineturcotte1043]

Can one say, 'Such a tidy video!'? I've heard of but never seen any part of Wales or Cardiff before. I didn't realize you had to cross a bridge to get there... (🤦‍♀️) Needless to say, I thoroughly enjoyed your video, accents, Welsh phrases and the whole cast of characters involved! 🌟

[@liahatz]

Thanks so much Elaine

[@tanyamckinnon5376]

When you said here it sounded just like Sean Connery. Love him!

[@Glendaleman]

When you said, "we can drive 20 minutes in any direction and we get another accent" that's exactly the same as it is in Los Angeles, or I guess any big city. I can almost always tell where a person grew up in Los Angeles by their distinct L.A. accent. I LOVE different accents and one of my favorite accents of English is the Welsh accent. It's SO sexy!!! I used to watch Torchwood and had a big crush on Gwen and the way she said O-wén or her husband's name Reese (Reeeeese). OMG, such a fanboy for the Welsh accent.

[@wisterialane2516]

As i was watching your other video i just loved Patsys accent and i really enjoyed listening to you speak in her accent. Like the time you acted like you were American asking people questions on the street, you are very good with accents. I really enjoy watching all your videos.

[@ladysmom87]

Every time you said Lush, I kept thinking about your favorite bath and potions shop! 😍😇😍😇

[@paulaj72]

Awesome job on the accent! 👍

[@shanialover]

Dear Lia, I was laughing so hard while you were trying so hard to use the right accent & naming the wrong accents. I loved getting to know & see more of your cousin Patsy. I noticed she is more accustomed to the weather as she was wearing pantyhose instead of leggings like you were.x

[@jacktheprick2728]

I’m only watching this cause my crush is welsh

[@brynmordey2659]

Such a better accent than what I could do. I'm a geordie and that's all I can do!

[@quillonri]

I love to hear about regional customs and language. Here in the States, when I lived nearby in Rhode Island, I lived in an old mill town named, "Woonsocket" (funny name, but it's a mix of English and American Indian tongue roughly translated into "Thunder Mist" for a large waterfall on the river that flows through the city), which had a large migratory ethnic Quebecois population, that came down from Canada to work in the old woolen mills back in the day. It created a very interesting way to speak. A couple of examples would be: "Side by each" means to parallel park along a city street and a way to tell someone to get you your hat before heading out would be, "Throw me down the stairs, my hat". Obviously, it's a strong French language influence on the area.

[@Rhiannon.Elston]

I'm half welsh 💚 I loved this ❤ now in a minute

[@dr.westwood]

Torchwood had a lot of scenes in that area near the poem. The entrance to their headquarters was there.

[@panayiotadavies5702]

Rod Westwood a lot of series are filmed in Cardiff: Torchwood, Dr Who, some scenes in Sherlock and lots more. There are a few film studios based here and the BBC has a big base here too 😊

[@LurkerSmurf]

I know. I feel like I've already visited Cardiff Bay.

[@alwikowski1185]

Good video Lia thanks but I kept looking for signs of the Torchwood locations. Next time you go do a little tour.

[@leslieladyhawke]

I love all British accents! BUT my fav is Glaswegian.

[@liahatz]

Glaswegian has got to be one of the hardest to imitate

[@leslieladyhawke]

Lia Hatzakis Is it? I just love all Scottish accents really. Isnt Glaswegian more of the iconic Scottish accent? I try to do a Scot accent sometimes. Most of the time I slip into a Spanish accent! Haha.

[@WalesTheTrueBritons]

Welsh and Brummie are the best two!

[@leslieladyhawke]

notformebeaky Haha. I LOVE the Glaswegian accent. Which accent do you have? My mom is half Scot according to AncestryDNA. Im 1/4. We need something with Anderson on it haha. What accents do you like? Scots and others?

[@leslieladyhawke]

notformebeaky I do like that Welsh accent. I really like all the British accents but have some favorites... Glaswegian, north of England, Manchester, etc. There are so many!

[@donniebrooks21]

Welshcakes look great. I would have to try to the peanut butter and the milk chocolate. Wonder if they are good when they're not hot.

Was watching old Joel & Lia videos you two have really changed in the last two years. I know you have worked really hard and it’s paying off. But most of us looked our best at your age. Stay active and eat well. Your best defense. Loving all your videos. Sometime wish y’all still did shorts or skits. Not sure what y’all call them

[@braamdevilliers9789]

It seems like Wales and Ireland are quite alike. Things are also written in Irish and English. Would love to visit Wales!

[@WalesTheTrueBritons]

Nothing alike. The Welsh are for the most part, introverted but down to earth. The Irish are nearly complete opposite. The only comparison is that they are both Celtic and may have had similar origins.

[@magoogies91]

Aww man welsh cakes sound like my jam!

[@paisleyjane9606]

Are welsh cakes softer almost like a cake texture or hard and crispy like a cookie? They’re going to fill my dreams now lol. Love the travel videos Lia and you and Ach are the cutest couple! 🥰

[@rcayford1]

they are a soft cake texture with currants

[@lovinglife6526]

Native welsh lady here, we never say welsh cake, they are called bake stones and always eaten with butter on.

[@liahatz]

Seems like there’s a lot of different names for them!

[@ftumschk]

They're traditionally cooked on a cast-iron bakestone, so I can see where the nickname came from. In Welsh, they're "picau" or "picau ar y maen", literally "little cakes on the stone" - "maen" being Welsh for (bake)stone. My mother has a bakestone that's been passed down through umpteen generations, and she's made some fine Welsh Cakes on it in her time :)

[@lovinglife6526]

ftumschk yes, we cook them on a bake stone too, very heavy. Traditional welsh ways 😊

[@WalesTheTrueBritons]

The Welsh accent is awesome - Brummie and Welsh are the two best in the uk.

So, Wales is between Briton and Ireland right? Because that's what you sound like in the car. A hybrid Irish/Brit ;-)

[@WalesTheTrueBritons]

Um nope - Wales is in Britain. The natives of the island, you know, the British! Are now known in English as the Welsh. Only in the last 200 years have the English become interchangeable with British. Even though they are technically German. It really annoys Patriotic Welsh people as they are basically pretending to be someone they aren't. Most Welsh refuse to identify with British because of the actions of the empire. Edit - another annoyance, because all three Countries are seen as one (when they arent), Many areas such as entertainment can hire predominantly English only people and say they are representing the others, even thpugh they are completely different people. This is one of the main reasons Wales is hardly known about in America. Even though they've had such a huge impact on the country.
