If any of you speak Cornish fluently, or have a good grasp of the language, could you please leave some sentences here for us non-speakers to learn, preferably with how to pronounce the words. Not just simple snetences, some complex ones as well such as.....When are you going home?
Not just things like hello/goodbye etc etc. If you could take the time to write a few things here id appreciate it, and i imagine so would other people hoping to learn Cornish. Thanks
Shut up Fulub - Stop holding a grudge, give him a break.
Okay Keighlan
(DH is a hard Th - as in the TH in "The")
( words in ' 's mean that they are English words)
Dydh da = Didh da = Good day
Myttin da = Mit in da = Good morning
Dohajydh da = 'Dough' ha jith da = Good Afternoon
Gorthugher da = Gor Thew Er da = Good evening
Nos dha = Noz dha = Good night

Meur ras = Merr (as in the thing that was given to Jesus) raz = Thank you
Ha ty = Hat e (<-the name of the letter) = And you?
Duw genes = 'Dew' (as in what you find on grass) Genes (G as in God) = Good bye
Duw genowgh = 'Dew' (as above) Gen Owgh (the gh is a new sound, its a gutteral H,the closest i can explain it is: make your mouth as if you were making a W sound. Then lower your tongue to the bottom of the mouth, then blow) = Good bye (to more than one person)
Dha weles arta = Dha 'well' ez 'art' a = See ya again
No Fulub it isn't, but im not starting any arguments on here. I just want this post to stay as a language one, not a post for people to ***** at each other.
Please would you just stop! if you do not like me then fine, i do not mind nor do i care. I have no problems with you, for all i know you could be the nicest person in the world. I put this post here so people could contribute phrases to it so others could learn some Cornish, not for me and you or anyone else to argue. If you would like to Put a few phrases down Fulub feel free, if you have nothing to do with the language to say on here please say nothing unless it will help with Cornish.
This thing here is for everyone, itd be real nice if some of you put more on here =/. TEL has done his part, its for everyone as well not just me.
And no worries newforestpolecat, i shall ignore him. i care not what he thinks nipper!
Duw genes
I am not a supporter of the BNP. I am MK all the way thank you very much.
Keighlan started this forum so that he could learn OUR language. And help others. NOT for you to start bringing political views into it!
So please Fulub, i respect you for all the work you do for us, contacting organizations and the like, but please leave out political views in a topic about the language.
