At Home With Cornish 65

In At Home With Cornish 62 we looked at going somewhere

and buying something:

My eth dhe'n shoppys ha perna …

I went to the shops and bought …

e.g. My eth dhe'n shoppys ha perna avalow.

I went to the shops and bought apples.

To say what you bought, you can use (in simple past tense)

My a bernas … I bought …

e.g. My a bernas avalow. I bought apples.

My a bernas avalow en shoppa. I bought apples in a shop.

Here are some other outlets for things you can eat or drink.

marhas (an varhas)	gorvarhas	erber marhas
chei kiger	chei pobas	gwicor losow kegin
chei a'n spicer	chowster	gwicor gwin

e.g. My a bernas avalow en gwicor losow kegin.

I bought apples in a greengrocer's.

Or slightly differently:

E'n gwicor losow kegin my a bernas avalow ha cavach.

In the greengrocer's I bought apples and a cabbage.

E'n gwicor gwin my a bernas bottel a win rüdh.

In the wine merchant's I bought a bottle of red wine.
