Keighlan - Here are some more.

My = 'Me' = I. Me
Ty = 'Tea' = You
Ev = Ev (as in Evan) = He
Hi = 'He' = She

A drig = 'A' Drig = Live
A gews = 'A' G'oh'wz =Speak
A bren = 'A' Bren = Buy

My a drig = I live
My a gews = I speak
My a bren = I buy

Ty a drig = You live
Ty a gews = You speak
etc.

Make past tense by + as (sometimes Is)

My a brenas
Ty a drigas

BUT
My a gewsis

To make 'Have' tense.
replace A with Re and +sa

My re drigsa
Ty re gewssa
Ev re brensa

There is no future tense - although, quite a few use A WRA to indicate future, followed by the Infinitive form

My a wra kewsel = 'A' Wra (as in Wrap) K'oh'w zel = I will speak
My a wra prena = Pren a = I will buy
My a wra triga = Trig a = I will live.

TEL

Everything is impossible until it is not.

Fulub, this is the main Cornwall 24 section.
The most externally viewed and highest in search results.
A bit of language on one thread will not do any harm. Have you seen any of the previous threads on this section of the forum.
Such gems as those brought about by new forest pole cat.
Innit nipper.

There are occassionaly off topic threads on this part of the forum and it realy doesn't matter.

That is exactly why, not many people go on the other forums. So i put it on this section as it was far more likely for people to view it.

walk with Jesus! just look out for speedboats.
