    I watched a catapult fire projectiles into a castle moat outside of Cardiff at a medieval fair. Also got propositioned by a Welsh girl, but couldn’t understand what she was saying.

      • Yakkie-dah = hello; good morning/day; yes; correct; goodbye
      • Boy-o = boy
      • Ma-fan-way = girl
      • Cmyru-way = motorway
      • Cmyru-shypi = shop
      • Cmyru-foni = phone
      • Cymru-nana = banana
      • Llllllgoogllgoogll-y-cymrnllllll = the/a/I/you/we/us/him/her/them/up/down/this/that/those

      Now you can speak Welsh. Well done or, should I say, Yakkie-Cymru.
