You are my favorite Ralbert person, so I present to you the song “Strawberry Wine” by Noah Kahan from Albert’s perspective on Race :)

OH ANON YOU ARE SO SO SO CORRECT...

im listening to this song for the first time ever right now, and you're so right ... im imagining Albert singing this in his apartment, and race hearing it through his floor and fantasising about it being about him ...

Descyned is a p good fancomic, would recommend.

argonian oc that's been rattling around in the brainspace for a while. been mentally referring to him as dives-deeply, subject to change. will use the dread-tentacles mod to give him some cool hair

used to work as a dockman in windhelm but eventually left and got himself involved in the ol DB, then leaves the DB, is a freelance treasure hunter for a while, joins the legion in the hopes that it would make life easier for the assemblage back home, leaves the legion, is a freelance treasure hunter again, decides to make the pilgrimage to black marsh

commentary on the different viewpoints from people of the same kin but living in wildly different circumstances, etc

is a dual-wielder, uses a mace and a dagger mostly. uses a dwarven mace as his signature weapon for a while i think. maybe gets the mace of molag bal through nontraditional means at some point?? idk

I’m saving up my Welsh questions so I’m not a total bother!!

1. I can broadly understand why location names in Wales are different in English (colonialism ☹️) but can you explain Castell-nedd v Neath? Maybe I haven’t gotten far enough yet but it seems to be an outlier in that they just dropped a whole part of the name?

2. Cinio v swper, I’m assuming (perhaps incorrectly hence the checking) that cinio = noon meal and swper = evening meal? Is that right or is it backwards?

3. I am deeply interested in the etymology of llun because it appears to be both a picture and (+ dydd) Monday. Are they linguistically connected??

4. Speaking of days. Am I right in inferring that dydd iau means Thursday and ddydd Iau means on Thursday? I can’t quite differentiate why the spelling changes.

5. Speaking of days part two. Nos Mercher v bore dydd Mercher. Why does nos appear to drop the dydd? Does bore ever do the same?

6. Moving away from days. There seems to be no difference between dych chi’n and wyt ti’n as far as I can tell. Are they interchangeable or are they formal/informal like vous/tu? Or is this a dialect thing like different regions??

7. I am learning about eisiau and I have a question about contractions. It appears to be dw i’n mwynhau but dw i eisiau. Why no ‘n?? I know the i’n is i yn so where’s the yn with eisiau? 🤔

Welsh my beloved you are so fun to learn but Duolingo sucks at explaining nuance.

HA okay *cracks knuckles*

1. Location names are always a bit of a wildcard between languages, because sometimes they corrupt differently and sometimes they have wildly different origins and meanings in the first place. Castell Nedd - Neath is actually a relatively mild one; it's just that people abbreviated it more in English than in Welsh. A similar thing happened to Penybont ar Ogwr - Bridgend.

By contrast, Abertawe - Swansea is totally different, with different meanings. Ditto Drefdraeth - Newport, Caergybi - Holyhead, etc. Wild shit.

2. Like a lot of languages, cinio can either mean lunch or evening meal depending on who uses it - the English equivalent is 'dinner'. Younger generations generally mean lunch. Swper is a direct transliteration of supper, though, with the same meaning (I personally use 'te' instead for evening meal). So, in short, you're broadly right, but it's a bit ambiguous.

3. Oh, you'll like this! As far as we know, it's from Proto Indo European lewk, meaning 'bright; to shine, to see' - we also get 'goleu' from it. The theory is that Dydd Llun therefore gets a similar etymology to Monday, because it refers to the moon (lleuad/luna). Llun (picture), meanwhile, is a thing you see, depicting what you see. The fact that they ultimately corrupted into the same word is coincidental.

4. There's some fun stuff here, okay.

So, you are hitting up against everyone's favourite Celtic language quirk which is MUTATIONS ┌⁠(⁠★⁠ｏ⁠☆⁠)⁠┘ These pop up in many funky ways of course. In this instance, it's not a plural but it IS trying to tell you something. So:

Dydd Iau: Thursday

Dyddiau Iau: Thursdays

Fi'n mynd i'r dre ddydd Iau: I'm going to town on Thursday

Basically, the mutation is there to indicate that there's an invisible preposition going on. If we hypercorrected it would be "Fi'n mynd i'r dre ar ddydd Iau", and that's what triggers the mutation; but in modern Welsh it's a quirk of this particular context that we do away with the preposition, because the mutation makes it clear it's there invisibly. Why do we do this? Unknown.

5. This is a slightly weird one and I suspect the answer lies somewhere in the fact that 'night' just means the dark bit while 'day' can either mean the light bit OR a 24 hour period containing both.

But, actually: you can actually drop the dydd for bore, too. It's dealer's choice. BUT, you cannot have the dydd for nos Fercher. In English, the 'day' part of 'Wednesday' is kind of invisible, and just means the 24 hour block. But in Welsh, they're still separate words, and it very much means 'the light part'. So 'nos dydd Mercher' would be like saying 'Wednesday Day Night.'

6. It's formal/plural Vs informal. Chi is formal (or plural), ti is informal.

Occasionally monoglot English Tumblrs make posts about how they reckon we should bring the you/thou divide back to English, and as a person who speaks a language that still pulls this bullshit and occasionally has to play the "How formal am I supposed to be with this person" game, every time it makes me sneer and think about how those same people complain all the livelong day about invisible social rules. You do not want this, folks. Be suitably grateful to your forebears.

7. Ah, yes, eisiau is a law unto itself.

So, the yn/'n in Welsh is normally there because the verb 'to be' gets split in half, and half gets attached to the following verb to make that verb active, right? So for example:

Rwy'n cerdded - I'm walking

Roughly, but not literally, equivalent to the English "I am walking", except if you were to split "Rwy'n" out into "Rwy yn", neither of those words means "I" or "am" - it's not a literal step by step translation.

'Yn' gets bundled in with the verb, more often than not. And again, while this is not a literal translation, it makes the verb into an '-ing' word. Welsh does not distinguish between "I walk" and "I'm walking" - it's always "I'm walking."

But eisiau is different because it's not used grammatically like that. You personally cannot actively want something in Welsh. But, there can be a want upon you. So instead of "I am wanting", you say "There is a want upon me."

So, "I want to go to town": "Mae arna'i eisiau mynd i'r dre".

Duolingo might be asking you to construct that slightly differently, though; they might want "Mae eisiau arnaf i" or something similar. But ultimately that's what it's doing.

I hope this was helpful! Let me know if anything is baffling, still.

Today's phrase: Dydd Llun

Translation: Monday

Pronunciation: Deeth (basically dd is th but softer, like th in the) lleen (it's the Welsh ll and idk how to show it in familiar sounds but if you just say leen people will know what you're on about)

Mind you, you can't just shorten it to Llun! It has to be Dydd Llun.

Apologies that I missed yesterday, I've been quite busy recently!

[deeisace]

Instead of doing immediately-useful things, my evening's been spent using my 1950s Welsh dictionary to try and work out what the month words mean

Not all of them do, Ebrill is just April

And actually idk what April is from either, maybe I should get my 70s English dictionary out next

But uhhh a bit of a list?

I couldn't find anything for January/Ionawr, except that ion is Lord

Mawrth/March is after Mars, the god

Mai just says May, but there's a listing above that says "mai - that it is"

Gorffennaf/July - gorffen is "end", so gorffen af, gorffen haf, "end of the summer"??

Medi/September - medi is "to reap" - harvest month!

Hydref/October - autumn!

The closest I got to December, Rhagfyr is rhagof, "before thee" - the. The one before January?? Idk my Welsh isn't good enough I can speculate on centuries-old word mutations

Days of the week, I had a look for too

They're mostly named for gods, same as the English ones

Tuesday/Mawrth, Mars (same as March) - in English this is for Tyr

Wednesday/Mercher, Mercury - in English this is for Odin, Woden's Day - the Welsh is cognate (???) with Romance languages tho, like Mercredi an such

Thursday/Iau, Jove or Jupiter - in English this is for Thor

Friday/Gwener, Venus - in English this is for Frigg

Saturday/Sadwrn, Saturn (same in English)

I haven't a listing for Sul/Sunday tho

Monday, tho, idk if this is the right root, doubt it, but Llun is "shape" "figure" or "form"

I've looked up them on Wikipedia, and that says that all these Norse gods in the Welsh are associated with the Roman gods the English ones are named for, which is interesting

Idk how much this is cs the book I'm looking at is 73 years old, but y'know

It's not quite exact, I spose

Like, Friday/Gwener is for Frigg (goddess of marriage), or Venus (goddess of love)

Tuesday is for Tyr (god of single combat) or Mars (god of war)

Thursday, Jove/Jupiter (sky and thunder), or Thor (thunder etc) - this one matches!

Wednesday doesn't quite tho, Mercury is a messenger, god of trade, and Odin is like wisdom and battle, so far as I can tell

This is not really very interesting, unless you like etymology

I'm gonna track down my English dictionary to find out what the English months etymologies are now, cs that's like. Super useful.

Wythnos Wyth

Heddiw dw i eisiau ysgrifennu am fy amser yn Awstria. Ymwelais i â ffrind yn Styria. Ar ôl taith hir efo'r trên, cyrhaiddais i yn y prynhawn, wedi blino... Aethon ni am dro ac wedyn cysgon ni.

Ddydd Sul aethon ni am dro yn y dre, gwelon ni llawer o bethau. Y gastell, y brifysgol, yr ardd fotanegol, yr afon...

Ddydd Llun gwnaethon ni heic ar fynnydd. Roedd y tywydd yn dda iawn a gwelon ni llawer o bethau o'r brig. Y dydd nesa, teithion ni i Slofenia ond dw i'n mynd i siarad am hwn yn y post nesa.

Dydd Mercher gwnaethon ni heic hir eto. Roedd twr neis ar un frig, hefyd, efo golygfa berffaith. Os dw i'n ymweld â fi ffrind yna eto, dw i eisiau mynd i'r twr 'na eto eto hefyd.

Dydd Gwener oedd y dydd i ymlacio. Roedd ffêr tost gyda fy ffrind hefyd, dyna pam wnaethon ni ddim mych. Prynais i siocled neu bethau arall mewn archfarchnad i fy nheulu achos mae'r Awstria gwlad arall a mae bwyd arall gyda nhw. (Ond dim llawer o bethau achos mae'r Almaen a'r Awstria yn debyg iawn. Plîs, paid â lladd fi, pobl Awstria...)

Dalais i drên cynnar y bore nesa i fynd yn ôl i Ogledd yr Almaen. Un Deg Pump awr. Llawer o hwyl rhaid i fi ddweud...

Geiriau newydd:

botanegol - botanical

brig, brigau, eg - peak

twr, tyrau, eb - tower

ffêr, ferau, eg - ankle

tebyg - similar

Other Essentials

[Plain text: Other Essentials. End PT.]

Diolch - Thank you

Plîs / os gwelwch yn dda - Please (Os gwelwch yn dda literally translates to "if you see fit", so it's more of an "if you please" and is a more polite/formal version.)

Diolch yn fawr - Thank you very much (Literally "big thank you")

Esgusodwch fi - Excuse me

Mae'n flin da fi - Sorry (Fully - mae'n flin gyda fi, literally - Sorry is with me, however "flin" on its own does not really translate to sorry)

Weather - Y Tywydd

[Plain text: Weather - Y Tywydd. End PT.]

The weather is feminine so "it is" for weather is usually "mae hi'n", but this can be shortened to "mae'n".

Mae'n.... - It is....

.... bwrw glaw/eira/cesau - .... raining/snowing/hailing

.... heulog - .... sunny

.... braf - .... fine

.... stormus - .... stormy

.... wyntog - .... windy

.... gymylog - .... cloudy (Gymylog is the mutated form of Cymylog - it mutates because mae hi'n is feminine)

.... oer - .... cold

.... boeth - .... hot

Heddiw means today, so "it is sunny today" would be "Mae'n heulog heddiw)

That's all for this post, I'm not listing vocabulary in any particular order, I am quite literally just dumping vocab off the top of my head until the post seems long enough. There are nuances and exceptions that I don't really know how to convey in some circumstances, because to me they seem natural since to some extent as I was raised surrounded by the Welsh language. These posts weren't intended for people to learn Welsh from, but if you're already learning and have other resources for grammar, mutations, pronunciation, etc. these may be helpful. Anyway, unnecessarily long disclaimer over.

Ochneidio... dyw hi ddim yn ffilm go iawn. Mae'n fygythiad ARALL, gan ddarn o cachu, y dringwr #AdamAckland ac mae'n debyg #RussellTDavies o BBC O ydy, mae'n ymwneud yn fawr ag actorion bygythiol, sy'n gweithio i'r BBC. Hefyd blacmel, cribddeiliaeth, a masnachu mewn pobl.

Mae'r fucks hyn yn dal i geisio ei gael i aros yn briod â #SoHouse skank #SophieHunter Nid ydynt wedi bod gyda'i gilydd ers DROS flwyddyn. Mae'r troseddwyr hyn sy'n gysylltiedig â #Scientology yn rhan o rwydwaith #HarveyWeinstein ac mae #COS yn addoli Weinstein.

Mae'n ddrwg gennyf...Na The Roses ac a dweud y gwir, dylai unrhyw un SY'N dewis cymryd rhan a cheisio gwireddu'r ffilm fod yn hynod ddrwgdybus. Mae #Ackland #Usher #Bying yn agos iawn at fasnachwyr pobl ac onid dyna'r hyn y mae Seientoleg yn ymwneud ag ef hefyd? Mae pob ffilm y mae wedi cael ei orfodi i mewn iddo, yn ddiweddar, yn cael eu cynhyrchu POB UN gan fasnachwyr. Fe wnaethant hyd yn oed ddefnyddio llun, ar gyfer yr erthygl isod, sy'n dangos bod ganddo glais, uwchben ei lygad.

Y ddraig goch- beth yw’r hanes?

Gwrtheyrn a'r Dreigiau

Daw’r llun o lawysgrif o’r bymthegfed ganrif sy’n cynnwys ‘Brut y Brenhinedd’ gan Sieffre o Fynwy, a ysgrifennwyd ar ddechrau’r 12fed ganrif. Mae'r rhan hon yn adrodd hanes y ddwy ddraig y bu eu hymladd yn dymchwel castell Gwrtheyrn. Mae Myrddin yn dehongli'r Ddraig Goch fel un sy'n cynrychioli'r Brythoniaid ac roedd y Ddraig Wen yn cynrychioli'r Sacsoniaid. Mae’n fersiwn o’r stori o’r 9fed ganrif sydd wedi’i chynnwys yn y ‘Historia Brittonum’, ond yn y fersiwn gynharach hon, y proffwyd yw Ambrosius. Mabwysiadwyd y Ddraig Goch hon gan Owain Tudur fel ei fathodyn a'i defnyddio gan Harri Tudur ar ei faner yn Bosworth. O hyn ymlaen, fe’i dynodwyd yn un o Fwystfilod y Brenin, a gafodd ei gydnabod yn swyddogol yn y pen draw fel baner Cymru yn y 1950au.

Excuse me while I abuse this blog a bit! I was listening to Radio Cymru today and Rhys Mwyn was on doing a series on music in decades, this one was on the 00s, he recently also did a Degawd y 90'au show with Cerys Matthews that I'm going to listen to after.

I wanted to keep this specific bit since him and Gai Toms are talking about the solo careers/"what happened to them?" of some prominent bands of the 90s' "sîn roc Gymraeg": bands like Super Furry Animals, Catatonia, Big Leaves, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, etc., most of whom are actually enjoying fairly high profile careers right now!

SFA - Gruff is having the time of his life, a UK top 10 album with Seeking New Gods, to say nothing of his entire, super interesting solo back catalogue and the Mercury nominations with Boom Bip (and that was a full decade ago), his film scores etc. But every single member of SFA is still active and quite high profile in music, and all of the Super Furries bar Gruff do have a side project together too. Catatonia - Cerys has also had a very high profile career since Catatonia ended, with her solo work but also as a presenter, Big Leaves split off into Sibrydion after the band ended, though I'm not quite sure what happened after Sibrydion stopped. Gorky's - Euros Childs runs his record label and has been doing his solo work for a bit, and a couple of years ago he permanently joined Teenage Fanclub so that's great for him!

Etc. Anyway, my Welsh is only fledgeling so I didn't quite catch all of the chat Rhys and Gai were having, so I've put it up here so I can slowly pause and look up words in my dictionary. Ah, language is a slow process... Anyway, all this is to say feel free to scroll by if the alt rock movement doesn't really interest you, otherwise this is probably like. A good listening exercise. I've removed the songs played because Tumblr doesn't take mp3 files larger than 10 MB unfortunately, but played on the show were:

Pep Le Pew - Y Magwraeth Llwybr Llaethog - Satta ym Mhontcanna Gwenno - Môr Hud Sherbet Antlers - Bywyd Mor Hir Super Furry Animals - Ymaelodi Â'r Ymylon Anweledig - Gweld Y Llun

I cannot recommend Gwenno's new album, Tresor, highly enough! Most of it is actually in Cornish, not Welsh. On today's show it looked like there was a theme of playing artists' first single, so this song goes back a bit.

I can't really find the Sherbet Antlers' song online anywhere, so I've uploaded it if you're keen.
