Well my family is Welsh and although I could ask them I would like to do it as a suprise.

Can somebody please tell me what the translation for Love - Harmony - Forever would be in Welsh? Its for a family thing I am making.

Thanks so much

I've seen on several websites that St. Patrick was probably a Brythonic Celt, and born - if not in Wales proper - in a Welsh-speaking area.
Does anyone know of any scholarly sources (particularly biographies) that might mention such details?

I'm getting a tattoo with these words in Welsh, but as always many different words come up for each word. What is the most appropriate translation for each word? Also the pronunciation for each word would be very helpful as I don't actually speak Welsh, however much I would like to. Another thing, please only answer if you do speak Welsh, I want the most accurate translation possible due to the nature of it's use. Thank you
The words a translator is giving me are - angerdd, annwyd, ddioddefaint, hangerdd, hannwyd, nioddefaint

I keep having this dream were my mum comes into my room and tells me that walls are talking to her in a welsh accent and I don’t believe her. Then the dream goes further on and I hear it. All of a sudden the walls start to close in on me. Does this mean anything?

What are some common phrases (in welsh) with pronunciation?
I know some, but i don't really know how to read it/pronounce it.
10 points for best answer (obviously) thanx so much!!

For a teen girl. Her first and middle names are "Elicia May"
Thank you xx

Is English Killing of Welsh, Gaelic, Cornish and Manx? Because only 20% of Wales now speaks Welsh and assuming its one of the oldest NON-CHANGED lanuages in the World, Is Welsh Becoming Extinct?

So do a lot of Scots, and Irish, for historical reasons, but none seem to hate us nearly as much as the North Welsh, they can be very hostile towards us, and I go there, sometimes, and to keep out of trouble, I learnt Welsh, and speak it whenever I go there, so then they may think I'm Welsh.

I ain't generallising, well, okay, I am, but the North Welsh seem to be very hostile...
Maybe, I am English, but I'm more Celtic (Irish, Cornish, Scottish, Welsh, etc) than I am English.
Nelly_num, you moron, they share the same Queen as us!
Roman C, I know my history, that's why I acknowleged the historical reasons!!

But the Welsh aren't exactly fluffly little bunnies either, they did plenty of pillaging of England!
Thanks, Fireball. Really helpful.

I'm 14, I really want to learn Japanese before university, but my school dosen't teach it, I'm already learning French, Welsh & Spanish, but wanted to get a head start on Japanese now. Online isn't much help -_______-

I have a person emailing and he seems to be honest, but his English is a little off making me think he is not who he says he is. He lives in Glynneath. Should his English be broken?

puppy in Estonia or even France, Germany, or Austria. Most specifically talking about Greyhounds, Pembroke Welsh Corgi's, Australian Shepherds, Rough Collies, or Shetland Sheepdogs. Just wondering how hard/more expensive it would be to find/buy one there as opposed to in the States. (I also mean while living there, not shipping one here).

I have to write one. I'm getting some ideas from this editorial http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2005-08-03-welsh_x.htm I could really use the help! Thanks!

Hi, I'm a yank, and an ignorant one at that. In my travels abroad, I've met plenty of Irish, Scots, and more than enough Englishmen. My dad is descended from Welsh immigrants. I've only heard they're "sheep shaggers" but then the English say that about everyone. And I know Tom Jones was from Wales (I think). So tell me, is Wales a great place? What are some uniquely Welsh characteristics? Do people still speak the native language?

okay so im english speaking but i live in wales
and can speak a little welsh.

i have exams comming up for welsh (im in year 10) KS4
and i need a revision guide but i cant find one ANYWHERE

suggestions?

And why does the Norwegian flag have a cross on it?
I'm just wondering because i'm Welsh and i'm learning Norwegian.

When knowledge of these minority languages will be completely useless if the speaker goes abroad. Even in their own countries only a tiny percentage of the population can speak them.

Why dedicate so much time and money to these when they could be learing a useful language like spanish, french etc?

I'm getting a pembroke welsh corgi, and her nose starts off pink and then turns black as she gets older. One person told me all dogs are born with what color nose they're going to have their entire lives, and another person said they change colors with the seasons!!! Why do people post when they have absolutely no clue what they are talking about? Also, why do people post without reading the entire question? Discuss!

I know that you use apostrophes for a quote within a quote. But how does one write a third quote within that one? To be specific, I'm trying to write a character saying the following (reading from a book):
"Ah, here we are. 'Gwendolyn is a name of Welsh origin, meaning 'white ring' or 'white bow'. It is used mostly in English-speaking countries.' I suppose that's all there is about that."
It begins with the first quote. The second quote is the beginning of the book excerpt. The third quotes are 'white ring' and 'white bow'. Is there any proper way to write this?

Why do so many Scots, especially the Nationalists have such a problem with Wales? But what do you base your opinions on?
When I go to Wales, I see more of a country than Scotland. Because you all speak English, your national anthem is in English, you're trying to wipe out your languages (I'm not including 'Scots' as it's just a dialect of English). Also, all your signposts are in English, but I do know you have Gaelic ones in some areas.
The Welsh still have their own language. Scotland chose English as their language, while the Welsh were forced to speak English. Yet, they have saved it from dying out.

I have more respect for Welsh people, as they have more respect for their country. They don't base their nationality on hating us, and are proud of their culture. Wales has had cultural nationalism, and I don't think Scotland has ever had something like this. Also, Scotland went into the Union, because you were bankrupt by the Darien scheme, and England bailed you out, yet you still hate us! Independence- You're so blinded by anti-Englishness, you'll do anything to get away from us, even at the expense of your country's wellbeing.

Why do you believe that you've been oppressed by England, and Wales has had an easy ride? Do you know their history? Why do you enjoy being 'victims'? Why do you have this 'Braveheart' mentality? It's 2009!

My girlfriend is Welsh, and she had a lot of hassle in Scotland for being Welsh. She speaks her language, and so do her family. They're really proud people, and I have never seen this in the Scots. Just anger and bigotry. And not just towards the English and Welsh. Heard some nice anti-Irish chanting from Rangers fans.
I'm not aiming this at all Scots, just the ignorant ones.

Cumbric is a loose term used to describe the Brythonic language of Northern England, North Wales, and Much of Scotland. It survives today in the form of modern Welsh, although little remains of the language in England, other than bits of vocabulary and grammar which are preserved in place-names.
I do not claim to be writing down the exact language of Northern England, here I am using Middle Welsh and Old Welsh as a basis upon which to build an idea of what Cumbric sounded like before it became Welsh, and the later forms of language spoken across The Northern United Kingdom. The reason for using the older form of the language is because this form would have probably been largely understood across much of Northern Britain, later Cumbric probably was too diffrenciated to be so. Thus people who might use this work are a good way to understanding both modern Cumbric and Modern Welsh, and likewise speakers of Modern Welsh will find the language of their ancestry not too much of a challenge.

Thankyou, I'll give 5 * rating for translation

It was a documentary about Barbic traditions made in either 2003 or 2004. There used to be a copy available on Youtube, but it was recently taken down and the user's account deleted/removed.
Youtube, Google, and Veoh were all checked before I even posted the question.

I'm 22 and an ugly virgin. They never talk to me, never look at me and never acknowledge my existence and when they do it's to verbally abuse me in the middle of a street. I know this probably has a lot more to do with Welsh women, considering the majority have no manners. When ever I try to talk to a woman, they either ignore me or look at me weird. Why?

I know it's probably because I'm ugly, but I've seen uglier men date attractive women.
I will be soon.

Ok here's the deal, I've done my GCSE's and got pretty good results

English Lit - C
English Language - A
Welsh Lit - D
Welsh Language - B
Science 1 - C
Science 2 - C
Maths - D
History - E
Food Technology - B
Media Studies - B
Health And Care 1 - C
Health And Care 2 - C

And I am re-sitting maths this week so hopefully I will have a C. After I got my GCSE's I decided to stay in school to do my A levels but I've decided that to me (this is only applied for me and this is my opinion) doing my A-levels are a waste of my 2 years because in the end, you need to be qualified to do just about any thing in life, and an A level is not a qualification. So Im going to finish school and get a job in the town nearest to my village, then go to collegee next year to do something that I want to do (hairdressing, child care, I have not decided yet)

So basically I desprerately need a job. I need to know how to write a CV and what I would need to put down? What makes a good CV and what makes it stand out? I will be applying in shops mostly (as a shop assistant and things like that) If any one could tell me what to do or give me some sort of template, that would be much appreciated . Thank you very much.

ive been learning the southern dialect and i will be moving to newton in august so im not sure what dialect it is

Fernando often paints in aggressive charcoal streaks against the canvas, depicting what he sees as a black-and-white world.

Certainly, he sees little gray in his own situation.

He was a promising American art student at one of the city's best high schools, with a partial scholarship to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, when he asked his Mexican parents for his Social Security number so he could apply for federal financial aid.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They told him to sit down in the kitchen of their McKinley Park home.

"You don't have a Social Security number," Fernando said they told him. "You weren't born here."

Like that, he became an illegal immigrant and, as such, ineligible for the financial aid he had counted on to matriculate.

School officials say his case is not unusual. Each year, students in this country illegally who have excelled at high school suddenly run up against the brick wall of their immigration status as they try to figure out how to pay for college. Schools are not allowed to ask for proof of citizenship. But without a Social Security number, the students cannot fill out the universal form required to apply for federal aid and loans.

Fernando, 18, who spoke on the condition that his last name not be published, was the only illegal immigrant in Lindblom Math & Science Academy's first graduating class in 2009, said Paul Welsh, one of the school's counselors. This year, the school had at least three other seniors like Fernando in a class of 86. .

Welsh and three other counselors have started to confidentially ask early on if students are in this country illegally in order to have more time to work with scholarship providers and colleges to create opportunities.

"I'm watching these kids' future disappear because of the accident of their birth," Welsh said. "I was born a white guy in the United States. These kids are just as qualified as me or anyone else."

Since 2001, legislation that would help college students in this country illegally afford tuition by paving a way toward legal residency has sat idle in Congress, part of the ongoing debate over federal immigration reforms.

But the so-called Dream Act has garnered new attention recently as young adults across the nation have held sit-ins, such as one in Arizona that led to three students getting arrested outside U.S. Sen. John McCain's office, and "coming out" rallies, where they publicly proclaim their status.

Even as their families push them to excel, students in this country illegally say they sometimes want to give up on school when faced with dismal scholarship options and an uncertain future. They are often frustrated to see their peers, who may have lesser academic qualifications and less financial need, throw away opportunities.

"(Fernando's) story is very similar to many other stories I've heard," said Nilda Flores-Gonzalez, associate professor of sociology and Latino studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. "There are a lot of young undocumented students who are faced with the same situation."

About 65,000 children who have lived in the United States illegally for five years or longer graduate from high school each year, according to a 2009 report by The College Board, a not-for-profit that aims to connect students to college opportunities.

While Chicago Public Schools officials said that they were anecdotally aware of illegal immigrants in their schools, they do not track them.

CPS spokeswoman Monique Bond said in an e-mail that Chicago schools with high immigrant populations have started fundraising fairs and partnerships with community agencies to help create more options for these students.

At Hancock College Preparatory High School near Midway Airport, where 15 percent — or 30— seniors this year are in the country illegally, officials have held carwashes and cookouts to help them attend college.

"We are actively trying to manage this situation …" said Principal Pam Glynn. "We are all about changing the landscape and leveling the playing field."

Im from wales and i learn in a Welsh school. Teachers say u get a better chance in life but how is that. Most jobs in Wales are english speaking jobs . How is welsh going to help me? For example if i take A level Physics, and folow that path in welsh speaking. I go to a job interview for a physisist but the job is english. They are gonna ask me all these stuff in english that i only know in welsh. And say i took chemistry and work in a lab. Maybe i need germanium or something. But i only learnt it in welsh so i cant find. This is the best i can explain it. So how is learning welsh gonna do anything for me?

On my facebook, my language preference is set to welsh so that my welsh can get better by using it more. An error message came up that read; 'Wspi!' In the english settings, this comes up as 'Oops!' I really like the word Wpsi!, haha, but my friend thinks I've made it up. Can any welsh people out there either confirm for me that wpsi is a welsh word, or that they've had this message come up too?
Thanks!
