So/Sa

Postby Hazel on Wed Oct 12, 2005 7:10 pm

New words:

So hi'n rhy oer. It's not too cold.

Sa. I don't.

Please, from where did "so" and "sa" come? Hazel

You won't believe this:

Nid oes dim o

eg

Nid oes dim ohono i'n oer. (lit. Not any part of me is cold)

Does dim ohono i'n oer.

Sdim ohono i'n oer.

Sdim o fi'n oer.

Smo fi'n oer.

So i'n oer.

Good, eh? :wink:

There are regional variations ranging from - Simo fi to Smo fi to Smo i to Sa i to Sana i.

Mbo:

Nid oes dim ohono i'n gwybod.

A bit like 'dunno' (perhaps a little more extreme.)

Gee, you'll never know how glad I am that you told me that! <G>.

By the way, this morning I read a commetn of yours about a certain verb not being a correct usage. I thought it was 'gwneud' but can't find it. Do you happen to remember where and what? Thanks. Hazel
