O’n i’n darllen ddoe a cyrfarfod y gair hyfryd hyn: “llawlyfr”, handbook. D’on I ddim wedi sylwi bod yr un yn almaeneg hefyd: Handbuch. Ac yn frangaeg: livre de main? Dw i ddim yn siŵr - Dach chi’n gwbod? I was reading yesterday and discovered this cool word: handbook in Welsh! Looking at the German and English words for it, you can see how similar they are. What about French? “Livre”, so close to the Welsh “llyfr”. So cool when languages show us our cousins 🤠 Corrections on my Welsh (or English) welcome. #linguistics #dysgucymraeg #learningwelsh #welsh #cymraeg #carucymraeg #language #languages #languagelearning #idiomas#langues #iaithoedd #sprachenlernen #lingue #grammar #kerstinsocial #polyglot #languagelover #langspo #langblr #education #multilingual

The Welsh word for bed is gwely - a word practically made for mutations like “fy ngwely” and “yn y wely”. The word reminds me of the wonderful band 9bach and their song “Cwreirwch fy ngwely”. It’s a wonderful band and a great song, but…I was let down by the dictionary…byddai rhywun yn egluro hynnw i fi? #iglc #dysgucymraeg #learningwelsh #welsh #cymraeg #carucymraeg #language #languages #languagelearning #idiomas #langues #iaithoedd #sprachenlernen #lingue #languagechallenge #grammar #kerstinsocial #polyglot #languagelover #langspo #langblr #education #multilingual

Restaurant - Bwyty. Here is some wild language speculation. This word is related to bwyd (food) and if you don't bwytta (eat) then you can't byw (live). Surely they're all related? #languagenerd #words #lovewords #humanlanguageisawesome #iglc #language #languages #languagelearning #idiomas#langues #iaithoedd #sprachenlernen #lingue #languagechallenge#grammar #kerstinsocial #polyglot #languagelover #welsh #dysgucymraeg

I love the look and sound of the welsh word "meddyg". When you say you're going "to the medic" I think of old-fashioned pharmacies and wise women and men. These days it's more crys gwyn (white shirt). #iglc #language #languages #languagelearning #idiomas#langues #iaithoedd #sprachenlernen #lingue #languagechallenge#grammar #kerstinsocial #polyglot #languagelover #langspo #langblr #education #wordnerd #dysgucymraeg #learningwelsh

Some days you feel as if you language progress actually goes backwards - thankfully that's impossible. The word for festival in Welsh is gŵyl - I keep memorising it somewhat wrongly as related to gwlad (country) and my memory then makes it way longer than it needs to be. But never mind: onwards and upwards! #dysgucymraeg #learningwelsh #welsh #cymraeg #carucymraeg #language #languages #languagelearning #idiomas #langues #iaithoedd #sprachenlernen #lingue #languagechallenge #grammar #kerstinsocial #polyglot #languagelover #langspo #langblr #education #arholiad #languageexam

Tŷ — one of the funnest things about learning other languages are the diacritics. Those are the fun little marks on foreign letters, like umlaut dots (ä), cedilles (ç), and these lovely circumflexes here (^). It seems like my computer won’t let me type a circumflex over the y - but my mobile can! Is your target language hard or easy to type on a mobile? #iglc #diacritics #tŷ #language #languages #languagelearning #idiomas#langues #iaithoedd #sprachenlernen #lingue #languagechallenge#grammar #kerstinsocial #polyglot #languagelover #langspo #langblr #education #multilingual #dysgucymraeg
