      How do you say it?! Languages and Colloquisms
      May 07, 2007 04:49:40 pm
      Hello peeps! Like me wanna know how you say tings in a different language innit!

      We have many different cultures and tongues amongst us so it would be interesting to find out different phrases, sayings and learn some dialect from a different place.

      I guess a main participant in this topic will be Nicola from Cardiff in South Wales.
      This 1st post should suit her, see if ya can say this then!

      Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch


      Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgoge rychwyrndrobwllllantysil iogogogoch), also spelt Llanfair Pwllgwyngyll and commonly known as Llanfair PG or Llanfairpwll, is a village and community on the island of Anglesey in Wales, situated on the Menai Strait next to Menai Bridge and across the strait from Bangor. According to the 2001 census, the population of the community is 3,040,[1] 76% of whom speak Welsh fluently; the highest percentage of speakers is in the 10–14 age group, where 97.1% are able to speak Welsh.

      The long form of the name is the longest officially recognised place name in the United Kingdom and one of the longest in the world, being 58 letters in length (51 letters in the Welsh alphabet, where "ch" and "ll" count as single letters).

      The name is Welsh for
      "St Mary's church in the hollow of the white hazel near to the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio of the red cave"

      My mother and her mother are Welsh. They were born in St. Asaph, North Wales
      (the same place where the legendry Ian Rush was born).
      My sister and family lives in Rhyl, (N.E Wales)
      My Mum lives in Colwyn Bay, (Middle of the N.Wales coast)

      My father and his father and all my Dads' side are Scouse.
      Liverpool is my home from home, always has been, always will be, la!

      I can say that easy peasy :D I didn't know that's what it was translated to cos it's old fashioned welsh! So thanks for that ;)
      I just listened to that on my housemate's computer, and that guy says it a bit funny. He seems to miss out the "gyl lgogerych" bit ??? And I think he's a proper Gog too, so says it a bit differently to me.
      My housemates make fun of the way I pronounce most words to be fair, the main ones are "serious", "lush", "here" (sounds like yurrr) and James (my housemate) loves how us Welshies (well, mainly taffys) say "brilliant" and now it's got into my vocabulary.. eek!
      :P
      This topic is brilliant I love it hehe.

      Good topic RED!!

      I feel as though I can't really add much to it though, becuase I'm a scouser and maybe the majority of people on here could be scousers. And we all know how scousers talk.
      But it'll be interesting to see what the "foreigners" have to say  ;D :D

      Is right! Boss!

      I can feel him kickin, he's gonna play for Everton!
      "Oh no I friggin won't!"
      Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah! And what d'you know 'bout it aye?
      "More than you do dick'ead!"
       :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

      A couple of years ago I was taking my girlfriend and her daughter (6) to Liverpool for the first time.
      I said to the little one "To become an honorary Scouser you must learn the phrase Dey Do Doh Don't Dey Doh?"
      She practised for ages in the car on the way up (to the point of tedium!)
      She fell asleep late on then suddenley woke up and said in her sleep "Dey Do Doh Don't Dey Doh?". It was a funny moment.
      I actually took her to Anfield on the morning of my Aunties' wedding and we did a stadium tour and saw Big Ears no.5 (I know my priorities!)
      Here's a few words to learn for anyone with no Scouse ancestry:

      Hay - Excuse me.     Dat - That.     Day - They     Dares - There is.     Cuum Edd - Come along now.

           Soff Ladd - Idiot / Fool     D Aussie - The Hospital.     D Foot E - The Football Match.

      On D Bev E - Taking Alcoholic Beverages.     Oarl Rite Mayt - Hello There, How are you.     D Soash - The Social Security Office.

      Me Owl Feller - My Father.     Ya Skall E - You Bounder.     Mayd Up Me - I'm rather pleased.

      ysgol = school,  gymraeg = Welsh,  saesneg = English,
      anfield = Home of Liverpool FC, 5 times European Champions, soon to be 6!  ;) 

      "Syd achi heddiew Nicola?" (If that's how you spell it!)

      I serve a Turkish bloke at work and have collared him into teaching me his native tounge.
      In Turkish the word 'chicken' means ugly!  :D

      I need to learn some Italian as I am going to Venice in October! Can anyone help?  ???
