Naughty Diphthongs

Many native English speakers have a strong habit of inserting diphthongs anywhere and everywhere in Welsh words. They do this even though they have the capability of pronouncing them correctly, or even have identical sound combinations in English! I assume that it’s just something the brain does when it comes across an unfamiliar word in another language.

You will sometimes hear Welsh people who have learnt Welsh at school doing this as well because they are still carrying English language habits into their Welsh. If your native language is something other than English, then you may not have this habit. I think that Italian, Spanish and Japanese people probably don’t do it, but I’m not 100% sure.

In Welsh, a single sound is represented by a single letter. We don’t fit in two seperate sounds into a single letter. Examples of people trying to insert extra vowel sounds where there shouldn’t be are saying ‘Conway’ instead of 'Conwy’ or saying 'Port-mah-ee-ree-own’ instead of 'Portmeirion’. That 'ow’ is added because a straightfoward, simple 'on’ probably feels alien in this context.

Think of the word 'stone’. You know that 'OW’ sound in the middle? We don’t have that double vowel sound in the Welsh 'o’.  It’s just a simple 'o’ sound like you have in 'lot’ or 'dot’. English speakers can say 'on’ and 'cot’, but in Welsh, because it’s unfamiliar, they will often insert an extra vowel sound that would turn those words into 'own’ or 'coat’.

[Transportation]

train = trên (trenau) g.*  plane = awyren (awyrennau**, awyrenni) b. car = car, (ceir) g. truck = tryc (tryciau) g., lori / lorri (lorïau) b.*** bicycle = beic (beiciau) g. bus = bws, (bysiau) b. boat = cwch, (cychod) g.  ship = llong (llongau) b. tire = teiar (teierau) g. gasoline = petrol g. engine = peiriant (peiriannau) g.  ticket = tocyn (tocynnau) g.****

*(but it can be b. or g. and has a bunch of alternative plurals, acc. to the Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru. This is the one Google suggests so this is the one I’m taking.) **(the one Google gives, GPC gives those 2) ***lori seems to be the preferred one. ****GPC gives tons of plurals for that one, too.

Transportation

I’m having some trouble with translating the word “transportation” itself. When I put it into the Google Translate, it gives me words, but then the definitions beside them include, exile, deportation, regulation. I have no clue what the word would be to mean the concept I know in English. Travel, but that makes me think long distance and not something that happens everyday. These kind of problems, you know. I also looked it up on that Welsh dictionary site, and had the same problem. I got other words that meant more like, “traffic”, though, too. No clearly perfect word.
