God, he is so cute. I could hear him speak all day.
Are the welsh the only good looking people In Great Britain?
Ignore the toxic comments man. Keep it up
Excellent explanation. Many thanks.
A bit more romantic than Snow hill! Thanks for explain the meanings was missed from most mainstream stuff
Thank you and your country for doing this.
That’s your country’s history and it should be preserved they way it was founded from the beginning, with your language and with your culture
I am a retired English man new to Wales and trying to learn the Welsh.
If we are to respect and want respect, then I feel we have to learn this historical language.
This is the correct accent and pronunciation of welsh words
The translation of Eryri is a common mistranslation.
It’s proper translation is - what is precipitated or thrown out violently, an irruption; the shingles;
Eryri is so called from when Yr Wyddfa was a volcano, what was erupted from it covered the surrounding area and hence why the area is covered in volcanic lava shingles and so why it got the name Eryri.
The mistranslation comes from the fact that in Welsh the name for an Eagle is Eryr, Eryr also means the shingles and my guess is, eagles were named Eryr due to their feathers looking like volcanic shingles.
Yr Wyddfa means the place of presence.
Haha I just did in the mirror and as I attepted the Welsh name my reflection shuck his head and said it slowly... I ran out the house and I have not been back since
I love Wales 🏴 I live in Wales it’s the best 🎉
These names and the myths that spawned them are as old as time to us Cymry. Our ancestors drew from a very rich vein of culture whereby there was an explanation for every rocky outcrop,a name for every mountain, an explanation for every feature. Cadair Idris (Idris’s chair) is a prime example of how a culture could use a feature to convey a story of where a giant once sat..
I couldn't help noticing the striking resemblance between Welsh 'cadair" and Portuguese "cadeira", both meaning the same thing! I know the Celts had their share of influence on Portuguese and Spanish and I'd love to take a deeper look into that.
Looks like both came from Greek 'cathedra'. I'd heard that before for Portuguese, maybe it came to Portuguese through some Celtic language.
@@baronderochemont8556Welsh is not Celtic.
Cadair is a compound word, It is made up of the Welsh words Câd + gair
Câd means a striving to keep; a battle
Gair means a word; a saying; a report or fame
Both Câd and Gair are also compound words so Cadair can be reverse engineered into base root words and so therefore Cadair is a Welsh origin word, that would not be possible if the word was adopted from another language.
It’s why the person who leads the company or a meeting for example is the Chair of the board, the Chairman.
@@Penddraig7cadair means chair
@@purpleaki933 thank you Captain Obvious 🤦♂️
Clearly you didn’t bother to read what I actually wrote.
Also Chair is the very basic meaning of Cadair, most Welsh words have multiple meanings, an abstract meaning and a physical object meaning because like I said, cadair is a compound word as is the case with most Welsh words and therefore Welsh words translate as a sentence, a description, not just a single word like chair. The chair definition is a noun that fits the description of the word cadair, it’s a secondary definition.
The true meaning of Cadair is a seat of authority or presidency, but more particularly amongst the bards and figuratively the qualification which entitled a candidate to preside.
Hence like I said, you get the term Chairman.
The word Cadair is far more specific than the word chair because the word chair is incorrectly used in modern times it’s become a generic term for a seat and gets used interchangeably with the word seat. A chair is a specific type of seat, it’s a seat that is specifically designated for the person of authority in whatever the situation.
Dych chi'n olygus. Ga I gysgu gyda chi?
Not banned fron saying Snowdon and Snowdonia but don't know how to say it so an own goal for tourism. I though a letter 'y' made an 'i' sound but I was wrong or not in this case.
Oolooroo
Or diwedd 😃
If they want non Welsh speakers to be able to pronounce Snodon and Snowdonia then they best put the phonetic way of saying it in brackets.
Mae on gwneud synhwyr oherwydd rydym yn Nhymru, yr enw Cymraeg ydi'r unig enw cywir.
How long has it been called Snowdon and how long has the Welsh name been in use?
Seeing how Welsh (really British) is native and have been spoken for thousands of years in that area, what do you think?
@@WalesTheTrueBritons That’s not how things work I’m afraid. You could’ve just said ‘I don’t know’. The Welsh language isn’t even 2,000 years old, in any form.
@@superdeluxesmell The Welsh name, Eryri, goes back to the 9th century at least, while the name Snowdon doesn't appear in the records until centuries later. Inhabitants of Britain 2,000 years old spoke a proto-Celtic language that was more like modern Welsh than any other modern language. Certainly closer to Welsh than to English.
@@rhysperegrine5100 thanks!
@@superdeluxesmell Croeso
Yr Wyddfa (Snowdonia). Eryri (Snowdon).
No, Yr Wyddfa is Snowdon, Eryri is Snowdonia
@@Penddraig7 diolch draig
Who that?
I always knew king arthur was welsh and the foreingers keep telling me he wasnt cymru am byth 😁
Oh yeah well my grandma told me "I don't care what anyone says, King Arthur was BLACK."
Yeah King Arthur was Welsh, that’s a fact, he was “King of the Britons”, the Britons being the Welsh.
The term Briton being the Romanised version of Brython.
Brython being the Welsh appellative for the Cynmry, Cynmry being the original spelling using the modern Welsh alphabet, over time it became Cymry.
