At Home With Cornish 18
We have learnt how to say "Hello". Now let's look at saying "Goodbye".
Duw genes. Goodbye (God by you) to one friend.
Duw geno whei. Goodbye to more than one, or when being polite.
Dha weles! See you! to one friend
Agas gweles! See you! to more than one
Anowr! Till next time!
We have looked at the months of the year.
Ma dewdhek mis en bledhen.
There are twelve months in a year.
Notice that we use bledhen rather than bloodh.
Both mean "year", but we only use bloodh for a year of age.
Now let's look at days of the week.
Ma seyth dedh en seythen.
There are seven days in a week.
De Sül Sunday (pronounced zeel)
De Lün Monday (pronounced leen)
De Meurth Tuesday (pronounced mare)
De Merher Wednesday (pronounced marhar)
De Yow Thursday (rhyme with mow)
De Gwener Friday
De Sadorn Saturday (pronounced zadern)
You can sing these to the tune of Clementine:
Ema seyth dedh, ema seyth dedh,
Ema seyth dedh en seythen.
De Sül, De Lün, De Meurth, De Merher,
De Yow, De Gwener, De Sadorn.
And, while we are in a mood for singing,
let's look at "Head, shoulders, knees and toes".
