I am 16 and Welsh is my everyday first language but when i speak English i always chuck welsh things in for example
Shwmae, doing much heddi then? god ma ‘na wynt oer mind. Watchin this thing ona telly neithiwr and it was full of rwts absolute cachu tbh.
Hey, doing much today then? god theres a cold wind mind. Was watchin this thing on the telly last night and it was full of nonsense absolute shit tbh.
That type of thing?
I’m 13, and I go to a Welsh school. I speak fluent Welsh, as do my friends, but rarely practice it outside the classroom. Welsh is considered a really uncool language here, probably because we’re forced to speak it. However, it IS fun to swear at non-Welsh speakers in Welsh. One of the most common Welsh swears is "cachu bant" which means F off, but really it means poo off. Welsh is weird like that. Also, spwriel, which means rubbish. And ‘cer i grafu’ which means go scratch.. o.O
As for English slang, that’s used a lot more often! Even when we have to speak in Welsh, you’ll find A LOT of english words chucked in there, like crap and ‘like’. Like is used around 5 times in every sentence. >.<
