Has anything good ever come from Wales ?


Recommended Posts

No language in the world can compete with English in its variety of sources for its range of words. In its ability to include, borrow, absorb and create words -English has no rival.

So when asked what is the Welsh word for 'Helicopter' my reply woud be "What is the English word?" as 'Helicopter' was originally a French word.

 

So English and Welsh languages have used a French word.

 

Wrong- the Welsh word is for helicopter is 'hofrenydd'.

 

In Welsh the use of coat would also be incorrect. I would use côt..I think it is from the French word cotte

Joe Jordan handballed it in the penalty area in the World Cup Qualifier, at Anfield, in 1977. Therefore Wales didn't get the goal they needed to draw and go the Argentina and get their chance to make complete ********s of themselves against Peru and Iran, like Scotland did.
