My faux pas of yesterday brought me corrections sent privately, from which I have extracted the following (names of informants deleted), as being likely to interest other Welsh learners. As I expected (as one expects with any language) Welsh offers several different ways of posing the following question--which is given here in English: "What do Breton women say?" ("What is it women say in Breton?") Here are the choices three people offered me. (Diolch yn fawr am eich atebion--dach chi'n garedig iawn, ac yn athrawon da iawn, hefyd!) mg (1) >"Beth mae", not "Beth sydd" in this case. (Grin) >I am warier about "yn Llydaweg" for the more idiomatic >"yn y Lydaweg". (2) > "Beth mae'r gwragedd yn ei ddweud mewn Llydaweg?" >neu "... yn y Llydaweg?" (3) >Be 'di'r merched yn dweud yn Llydaweg? >(or "Beth yw'r...", to be more southern) >I don't think gwragedd is the word commonly used to mean all women generally, >and suspect it wd mean "wives" here. Hwyl fawr i bawb, Marion Gunn MGUNN@IRLEARN.UCD.IE
