Β I was speaking to the woodland neighbour yesterday and I mentioned this thread ,she said the same as one of the previous posters , that if the Welsh don't have a word for something, they just make a word up , she said that microwave oven was poppdyping ( that's what it sounded like to me),and that if you're unsure of a word ,just add io at the end π.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll soon be making a fire pit (from an old propane bottle ), and hopefully I'll be able to use that for most of the cooking . Mmmmm I can already taste that oak smoked flavourπ.

southeastpete Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Just read through this and it made me smile. we recently moved to wales, and I also fantasised about learning welsh. No chance! out place is called Rhyd y Wrach. translates Rhyd as fford or crossing and Wrach asΒ witch, old hag, or wise woman. so weβve settled on witches crossing which I think is quite nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then not all of them can converse with each other, such are the regional differences. So if they do revive it they will be making most of it up..
