  • The Welsh Language, or Cymraeg, expresses action differently to English. And 'to have' or 'to get' in the word CAEL and how it changes when being used is no exception. This is a great video for beginner to intermediate Welsh learners or language curious polyglots alike, as you will get a glimpse of one of the Welsh Language's most important verbs and a gloss over of how it works.

    4:45 Identifying a space
    6:04 To experience

    "I'm having the eating of my lunch." "The bells would have their ringing." Those constructions alone demonstrate the inherent poetry that is the Welsh language. Diolch Ben. BTW, in Sanskrit, one would say: The book is of me. (genitive) instead of : I have a book. (possessive) Similar Indo-European constructions but continents apart.

      I think there's similar phrasing in Welsh, too. From what I learnt:
      *_Mae car gyda fi_*
      _I have a car._
      or literally,
      _"There is a car with me"_

    The usage of ’cael’ has some similarities with Finnish ’saada’ (to get, to receive, to be allowed to) and ’voida’ (to be able to do something, to be allowed to).
    The way Welsh can shuffle the subject and object with cael was really fascinating!
    Welsh Wednesdays are a great idea! I would be happy to hear you describe some of the more difficult or unique aspects of Welsh, as lessons like that are not all that common. For example, this video would be great for a Welsh Wednesday.

    • @BenLlywelyn

    An interesting video on a much misused verb, which is not well taught in Welsh medium schools, where it really needs to be drilled that cael means to get and not to have. In North Wales they use "Mae gen i chwaer", to say I have eg a sister, whereas in South Wales we will say "Mae chwaer gyda fi". This is of course one of the many differences between north and south Walian dialects. Do the other Celtic languages also have similar constructions to convey possession?

    • @BenLlywelyn
      @BenLlywelyn  Рік тому +2

      To my knowledge all Celtic Languages do this.

    We often hear Irish people saying something like "What are you AFTER doing?" I always wonder what this means. Does it mean Beth ydych chi WEDI'i wneud? What have you been doing? or does it mean "What do you want to do?"

    • @BenLlywelyn
      @BenLlywelyn  Рік тому +1

      Yes, the after bit in Irish English is nearly very like Welsh Wedi.

    • @ENGLISHTAINMENT
      @ENGLISHTAINMENT Рік тому

      WEDI in Welsh (and equivalents in Irish and Scottish Gaelic - Cornish and Breton do not have this) does not equate exactly to English HAVE. WEDI always means something that is in the past. Also note LACK of use of AFTER in Hiberno-English and in Welsh. "How long are you here for?" in standard English this means "How long have you been here for?" Ers faint dych chi yma? Same construction in Welsh, with no AFTER. It's not "How long are you after being here for?" (no AFTER/WEDI simply because it's not over) --- An additional note: due to calquing from English, you will sometimes hear "Dwi wedi bod yma ers mis." (Wi 'di bod yma ers mis.) "I have been here for a month." More natural Welsh would be "Dwi yma ers mis." (Wi yma ers mis.) Note how the natural way to express it is easier and shorter. In natural Welsh, wedi is only for something that is over/past - a completed action.
