Nice photos
ReplyDeleteGreat images. Loved the reflection in the water with the leaves. And loved the last one with the contrast and dark shoreline. Now I just need to find a translator. LOL.
ReplyDeleteDon't tell one of the names on the graves is Sonja or similar? Who would name a pet that?
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way: I suck a Welsh (?), in other words: what the...
I tried running this through Google translate, but it wouldn't go into English. I thought I spoke fluent gibberish but still can't make sense of it.

ReplyDeleteI had my doubts about the quality of the Taffy v2 english-welsh translator when I saw things like this in the text: €™.

ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely name for a lady dog.
Welsh rarebit is toasted cheese - delicious!
Noswaith dda, N
Bloody hell! More Greek! It's more like Welsh to me every time I see it. Is it true Wales is an honorary member of the Balkans? Small, hilly etc?

What in the hell's name is that stuff, boy! I just don't know how you Europians survive with all that squiggle. At least here in America we only have American. And Spanish. Oh, and Polish. And Kentucky.
ReplyDeleteBob,

I must admit that it's one of my favourite songs although (as far as I can determine)Nana Mouskouri never recorded it.

ReplyDeleteDid I really upset Sonja?

I understood 'A55' but little else.
ReplyDeleteDear Nikos:
ReplyDeleteI am humbled by your prose in this piece. Your line, "Chyraeddasom Porthmadog Travelodge , a benderfynedig at chymer bnawn de i mewn 'r 'n frasterog bath chan chwgn cair i mewn Tourist cynical Cymru..." brought mew to tears.
I read it to Stiffie, as she nestled in my arms by the fire, and she sighed when I hit the third word. I cannot thank you enough for sharing this with us. It has brough us closer together, while showing me how many in-laws I can fit in the garden.
Fondest regards,

Hehe - nice bit of Welsh, although a common bit, not a rare bit. But you must surely know that the Welsh for a motorcycle is 'beic'?
ReplyDeleteReading the comments here has reminded me that I can read many languages, and almost understand all of them.
Beiciwch yn ofalus!
Dear Jack
ReplyDeleteThe beautiful Welsh language cracks me up to.
Please convey my best wishes to Stiffie - Mrs Nikos and I are so thrilled that you are now closer together on the sofa in front of the fire as we indeed were tonight watching a documenatry about Frederick the Great of Prussia.
Best wishes from frozen Britain, N

ReplyDeletea dewch 'nôl yn fuan!
I learned my first bit of Welsh when I went to Uni at 18 - a Welsh-speaking final year student tried to get me to say "Iechyd da pob Cymro, twll dîn pob Saes". Luckily I spotted it and repeated back to him "Iechyd da pob Saes, twll dîn pob Cymro". He was not amused.
ReplyDeleteNote for forrin readers: twll = hole, dîn = man, work it out. Iechyd da is 'good health', usually transliterated by the ignorant Saes as 'yakky da'.
Richard
ReplyDeleteYakky da - the Navylark?
They don't make 'em like that anymore .... (thank goodness)
Ah, the Navy Lark. HMS Troutbridge and Fatso Johnson. Happy days.
