Thank you so much for doing this videos Jason. Im just learning Welsh at the ripe age of 40. You have helped me so much to learn. Keep up the good work. Diolch .
There used to be an exhibit in the museum in Liverpool as to how the scouse accent developed over time, there is a big welsh and irish influence as it originally started out closer to a Lancaster accent before this. It was interesting the development of the accent.
I’m a Gog from Flintshire, I’ve never heard hwntw or cofi. Must be from Gwynedd. When I was a kid you only heard la, which is short for lad, when spoken by Scousers or plastics. Turk was a slang term for making love to…(cleaned that up).
I never understood how "cock" became a term of endearment in the North of England. The Welsh ones all sound better. The only other time I've heard "mush" is in the East End of London. I think it's in the lyrics from the Only Fools and Horses theme song. Thanks for the video. Now I know how to be friendlier, or not so 😉
Mush I thought was an East end of London phrase, certainly part of the Cockney lingo. Perhaps it came from the Polari which was taken from all over the place. Polari was an invented language spoken by the homosexual community around the theatres and docks of London so that they could converse on the street without getting arrested as homosexuality was highly illegal back then .
Gog its the welch equivalent of our word, SMOGGI describing someone from Middlesbrough.
I'm in Llanelli and we say beaut when we are calling someone a bit of and idiot. "he's a right beaut" "did you see that beaut do such and such".

La is something people say in Liverpool all the time, so I imagine people in North Wales either picked it up from there (or vice versa).

And mun
Mostly in the southern US "Buddy" is both a nickname and a word meaning 'friend'.
Thanks again Jason.
'La' is also used in Merseyside
I remember 'mush' being widespread (or at least, around south of England) when I was a kid - had no idea its origin!
Hands down one of the most interesting language learning channels on youtube🤎
Diolch/Thanks for your lovely comment.
I laughed for days when I first heard Porthcawl referred to as Hiya Butt Bay 🤣 (maybe I need to get out more!)
I live near Porthcawl and i’ve never heard that. Love it tho. 😂👍
@@LearnWelshPodcast maybe it’s a Valleys thing and I’ve let the cat out of the bag!
