Monday, 24th November

Rag fra wrüga vy mos dhe Redrüdh de Sadorn? Drefen bos An Dalva en Kresen Kernow. Thera dogens (dewgens) person moy po le en stevel vrâs po war-linen. Nei wrüg dadhla an tavas. Pandra veu an cowlwrians e'n deg bledhen tremenys. Pandra vedh an vorr (fordh) rag e'n deg bledhen nessa.  Ma othom a bobel moy ow clappya an tavas. Lies Yeth an Werin moy a via pur dha, hag ahosonyow erel dhe ûsya nebes geryow. Bes ma lies person dres mor. Ma othom dhodhans a dhaffar electronyk. Alja skians facyes, gwirhevelepter po gwrionedh moghys bos an gorryp? Solabres whei ell redya neppeth war-linen, bes ma le dhe vos clowys. Ma moy en Kembrek!

Why did I go to Redruth on Saturday? Because The Forum was in the Cornwall Centre. There were more or less forty people in a big room or on line. We discussed the language. What were the achievements in the past ten years? What will be the way forward in the next ten years? We need more people speaking the language. Many more Yeth an Werin would be very good, and other opportunities to use some words. But there are many people abroad. They need electronic resources. Could AI, VR or AR be the answer? Already you can read something on line, but there is less to be heard. There is more in Welsh!

Bes martesen my alja scrifa daralla gen an verb "bos" en pub lavar. My a venja saya. An daralla a vedh pur sempel! Otta an kensa radn. En kensa thera nei ow metya gen an teylû.  What is possible? Can I write a story without using the verb "to be"? No. But perhaps I could write a story with the verb "to be" in every sentence. I would like to try. The story will be very simple! Here's the first part. First we meet the family. BOS locative  is colour coded red  (including participle and secondary verbs).  BOS descriptive  is colour coded green. Where English has an active verb, Cornish often uses a passive construction with  dhe   to  or  gen  with/by . Tristan  ew  maw.  Tristan is a boy. Ma  hôr, Rosa,  dhe  Tristan.   Tristan has a sister, Ro...

Ha ma advisments môy war an bord plüw.  Rowlys a’n Pow: Gwrewgh cawas areth rag tüs erel; Gwrewgh difres an kerhydnedh natural; Gwrewgh enjoya an pow mes a-jei. The world is full of signs, more signs than usual. I can see two signs at the same time – a road sign and an estate agent’s signboard. It’s true – a ruin is for sale – but is it buyable? Two miles from here there are more notices by the church. It’s a sad thing – there are no services in November. And there are more notices on the parish board. The Countryside Code: Respect other people; Protect the natural environment; Enjoy the outdoors. Deg ger rag hedhyw:  Ten words for t...
