Stuart Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 The very first time I drove through Wales.... I was confused at how big Gwasanaethau was....... there seemed to a Gwasanaethau Services every few miles... In a similar vein, passenger once said to me on the autobahn "Ausfarht is a big place, isn't it" Quote
welsh wizard Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 The best I've seen is the welsh for a welsh word-----Abergavenny (aber means mouth of river) so it is Mouth of the river Gavenny. The wise and wonderful welsh morons come up with Y Fenni ------- how can you have the welsh of a welsh name, its total crap. Abergavenny is the English name. The Welsh name for the town Y Fenni.

welsh wizard Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Why is 'ti' a 'sh' in English? Why is 'gh' an 'f'? Why is 'u' sometimes an 'i'? English is quite a difficult language to grasp, and I often fail in my use of it. Teaching kids to spell is an absolute nightmare, since there are many ways of making different "sounds" Yes, there may be extra letters in Welsh, but at least every sound is always written in the same way; it doesn't matter which letter come before it/after it/next-door-but-one to it!

Blatman Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 And I thought the Welsh alphabet was just devoid of vowels... Quote

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 "Ghoti" is a common word but spelled in a uniquely 'English' way. It was derived by GBS, I believe. Anyone know how to pronounce it? Quote
