you have a wonderful welsh accent and pronounciation

[@matteoj226]

I'm not even learning welsh, but I like your videos - they're very cool.

[@RRTNZ]

Diolch yn fawr ! Dw i'n mwynhau dysgu Cymraeg ond treiglau...mae'n nhw anodd ! But this clip helps a lot. Pob hwyl!

[@adhamhmacconchobhair2237]

I find the way colours work in the celtic languages really interesting.
Glas in Irish usually means green
Glas in Scots Gaelic usually means grey (grey is a shade of green)
Then Glas in Welsh usually means Blue. They can be used as the other colours sometimes aswell which is cool.
This isn't the only Colour that this happens too either.
Glas also is the colour if water in Irish

[@PedrSion]

In past times coch meant brown, but now means red. Glas was green, but is now blue. Greenfield in Flintshire has the Welsh name Maes Glas, which makes no sense now, but did in the past.

Diolch yn fawr, very informative!

[@garmit61]

Many thanks for a very clear explanation of a tricky subject for us learners.

[@donangell2576]

Yes thanks for returning, love your way of teaching. Thanks.

[@adhamhmacconchobhair2237]

Very similar to Irish.
Table is "bord"
But on the table is "Ar an mbord"
And the b becomes silent :)

[@dawnbreaksopen]

Super informative and I appreciate that you are using clear terms for what is happening, it's much better and easier to understand than lessons which try to avoid using linguistic terminology.

[@danow2230]

Love Love Love your videos thanks for coming back to us :)

[@danielkatajapontikka4829]

I was waiting this video for so long! Glad that you came back, Gwyneth.

[@zx-cs5zz]

Thanks, this is really useful for understanding the mutations.

[@shlonga86]

You're back! Gwych!

[@afz902k]

Diolch!! Dw i'n hoffi y treigladau yn fawr iawn, ond ydyn nhw ar anodd i ddysgu

[@Rhosnesni]

Welcome back!

[@alisonhumphreys1965]

Thank you very much. So helpful.

[@mattonwater]

Shwmae! I'm originally from Rhyl North Wales, lived there for my first 8 years and have been in Germany and a load of other places since. I'm back into learning Welsh and I can only really find South Welsh teachings. I saw in a previous video that in North Wales you pronouce the U differnetly in certain words and can make it from a uuun sound to a eeeen sound? Can you recommend any learning sources (so far I'm using duolingo, open university sources and this audible book) your videos have helped a lot. I'm currently in NZ so books are a bit harder to come by.

[@homousios]

Thank you
You are great!

[@garmit61]

Hi Gwyneth, the link to the pdf seems to be broken. Has it moved? Diolch, Gareth

[@brieneaton6079]

More videos woman! I'll never learn welsh at this rate :)

[@jente74]

Hi Gwyneth, I clicked the link to the table of treiglo but the link is not working anymore.

[@sanderorav9043]

Diolch! Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg.

[@juliankerrell7281]

Sut mae Gwynedd Angharad. A ydych chi yn mynd i wneud fideos newydd?

[@cylt5113]

Nice explanation for when the mutations occur. It's not so much how they sound though; it's just easier to articulate if you use them. As a Welsh speaker you might want to try spending a day without mutating, for an experiment and see how this affects the way you speak.

[@zohrebrown]

Lenition could be a better word than 'mutation'. Your link to the LearningObservatory table is no longer there. Is it moved?

[@JamesMooreSeattle]

Lenition is only one kind of mutation though.

[@danum442]

You are gorgeous! Thanks for the vids - helping me loads!

[@ENGLISHTAINMENT]

"ym Manceinion" sydd yn gywir. Nid "yn Manceinion" er na fydd treiglo

[@orangeedo]

Why is it wylio and not gwylio at the end? 😂 I'm so confused lol

[@sant_vauls]

it's also mutation

[@williamjones3731]

Diolch yn fawr

[@starstreet46]

What makes a welsh word femine and what makes it masculine?

[@mew11two]

Some of them are obvious from the meaning (like a man is obviously going to be masculine and a woman feminine) but most you'll just have to learn which is which when you learn the words.

[@kevg596]

Gwyneth, best thing since sliced bread , Kev g, Bolton , diolch yn fawr,

[@Cupit29]

I never mastered this.

[@larryfroot]

Diolch! Bendigedig.

[@jhgrees]

Gret, diolch yn fawr, but please stop playing with your hair, because I think you're flirting with me. ;)

[@sunflower-oo1ff]

way..way ..too complicated ... i speak french and english... german would be awesome to learn :)

[@entwistlefromthewho]

It's really not that complicated.

[@bloodaxe5028]

Stop doing this
