Annie Bynnol Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 My SOs gran was a native welsh speaker, and she had no trouble communicating with Bretons in their language. The welsh for "microwave oven" always amuses me. Although they have the same roots and there are many words that are similar, the Breton language has had a thousand years of separate development from Cornish and Welsh. A native Welsh speaker would not easily be able to have a conversation with a Breton but could ( did) have a laugh comparing words. Pobty ping = ping oven = microwave oven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a very clever man then he was born in 1863 and 1888 and died in 1945 and 1974, did he have a Tardis and then come back as David Lloyd Tennant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curriechick Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I can't believe no one has put the beautiful Katherine Jenkins, she has the most pitch pefect voice, it has the power to move me to tears, and then of course her gorgeous fiance Gethin Jones. Also as someone has said many amazing male voice choirs, what a wonderful sound they make especially singing Men Of Harlech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert_Baehr Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 My SOs gran was a native welsh speaker, and she had no trouble communicating with Bretons in their language. The welsh for "microwave oven" always amuses me. That is understandable. Microwave ovens are fairly new. The Welsh for 'helicopter' is (AFAIR) Heliocopter. But what's the Welsh for 'coat'?
