a few questions
David Darr, 2000-03-02 19:19:16
I've been studying Breton now for some time, on and off mostly, due to other constraints on my time. I am just now getting ready to pick it up again somewhat seriously and was trying to refresh my memory of things I already knew -- but without recourse to my books and tapes (I have both the Per Denez and the Mark Kerrain methods in French). I was trying to think of how to say, for example, "I speak Breton" and "I don't speak Breton" and the best I could come up with was:

Me a gomz Brezhoneg (I speak Breton)

and

Ne gomzon ket Brezhoneg.

Is this right? I suspect, from my limited aquaintance with Breton, that there are other ways to say both sentences depending on exactly one is trying to say.

to say "i speak breton" u may say:
Me a gomz brezhoneg
Komz a ran brezhoneg
Brezhoneg a gomzan
Komz brezhoneg a ran
Bez' e komzan brezhoneg/ bout e komzan brezhoneg...

to say "i don't speak breton", u may say:
ne gomzan ket brezhoneg
me ne gomzan ket brezhoneg
brezhoneg ne gomzan ket
komz brezhoneg ne ran ket...

but there r little differences between these forms, because there's an emphase on the first word.
