At Home With Cornish 27

In our earlier lessons, we looked at some numbers (enough to enable you to play "Shut the Box" or say your age).
















Here's a reminder of ways of saying your age:

Bloodh vy ew seyth. My age is seven years.

Deg bloodh o vy. I'm ten years old.

 

We also looked at the months of the year, so that you know what month your birthday is in.

 

Ma pednbloodh vy en mis Dû.

My birthday is in November.

 

Now we need to look at how you say the date of your birthday.

Ma dewdhek mis en bledhen. There are twelve months in a year.

Ma seyth dedh en seythen. There are seven days in a week.

 

Look at the list of numbers below, but don't try to learn then all in one go! Concentrate on your special days.

Here are some examples (done in the simplest way).

 

Cala Me ew kensa mis Me.

May Day is 1st May.

Gool Peran ew pempes mis Meurth.

St Piran's Day is 5th March.

Hedhyw ew pajardegves mis Ebrel.

Today is 14th April.

Du Nadelik ew pempes warn ügens mis Kevardhû.

Christmas Day is 25th December.

Pednbloodh vy ew wheffes warn ügens mis Whevrel.

My birthday is 26th February.
