A Year of Late Cornish

2026 Dedh Pajar Ügens ha Whegh De Gwener, seythves warn ügens mis Meurth Friday, 27th March Ma diw hôr gottha dhe Marge. Gevellesow egwal ens. Marge ew an yonca. Nag eus broder dhodhans, etho nag eus hôr wheg dhe'n gevellesow naneyl. Ma hanter hôr dhe Homer, etho ma hôr wheg dhe Marge. Nag era bes üdn hôr jonca dhe'm dama, bes gen whegh broder cottha thera whegh hôr wheg gottha dhedhy. Thera owntres ha modrebedh ha cosins dhe vy, bes gellys ew an brâssa radn anodhans.  Marge has two older sisters. They are identical twins. Marge is the youngest. They do not have a brother, so neither do the twins have a sister-in-law. Homer has a half sister, so Marge has a sister-in-law. My mother only had one younger sister, but with six older brothers she had six older sisters-in-law. I had uncles and aunts and cousins, but most of them are gone.

The father and mother have three children. The children have a father and mother. There are three princes and two princesses here. The father is the Duke of Cornwall.

There's a father and mother and three children. The father is very tall. Is the father a Member of Parliament? No. He is neither a senator nor a councillor. You will not see him on your TV screen. He works at his computer making gam...

  2026 Dedh Pajar Ügens ha Trei De Meurh, pajwora warn ügens mis Meurth Tuesday, 24th March A wrügo whei mires orth an tele ha leverel "Piw ew hedna (po hodna) war ow scrîn?"? Ma lies person en towlow ha fylmys. Ma radn anodhans ow presentya an nowodhow. Ma nebes erel ew gwarioryon ha gwarioresow. Ha ma othom dhe bub sport a dherivadoryon ha derivadoresow. Terweythyow nei a wel goraswonegow (po goraswonegesow) ha politycoryon (po politycoresow) ha rielder. Nag ew aga bownans   bos war an scrîn  en üdnek. Did you look at the TV and say "Who is that on my screen?"? There are many people in programmes and films. Some of them present the news. There are some others who are actors and actresses. And every sport needs commentators. Sometimes we see celebrities and politicians and royalty. Being on the screen is not their only living.

  2026 Dedh Pajar Ügens ha Dew De Lün, tryja warn ügens mis Meurth Monday, 23rd March Pandr'ew an gwelha tra dhe dhesky en kensa en Kernôwek? Qwestyons martesen? Pandr'ew hebma? Piw ew hedna? Piw an Jowl o whei? Pe cost ew? Pana pres ew? Pe le ma'n toylettys? Saw nag ew qwestyons vas mar na ellowgh convedhes an gorthebow. Arwòdhyow ha toknys en Kernowek ew vas rag desky. What is the best thing to learn first in Cornish? Questions perhaps? What is this? Who is that? Who the Devil are you? How much is that? What's the time? Where are the toilets? But questions are not useful if you can't understand the answers! Signs and labels in Cornish are useful for learning. 

2026 Dedh Pajar Ügens hag Onan De Sül, nessa warn ügens mis Meurth Sunday, 22nd March An bownans ew leun a liw. Düwon ew rag an re  na ell gweles liwyow. Brâssa radn an bobel ell gweles oll an liwyow an cabmdhavas. Edhyn ell disernya liwyow ewedh. An rüdhek a wra ajwon rüdhek aral gans y vrodn rüdh. Gwenenen ell gweles flourys en gòlow UV. Ma gidys nectar ow tastewydnya. "Otta nei" emedh an flourys.   Life is full of colour. It's a sadness for those that can't see colours. Most people can see all the colours of the rainbow. Birds can discern colours, too. The robin will know another robin with a red breast. A bee can see flowers in UV light. There are nectar guides reflecting. "Here we are" say the flowers.
