Re: New forums jean, 2001-05-13 14:49:51 I'm very curious. are there many people who speak Breton in celtic countries of the north ( wales, ireland, scotland). I'd like initiated to me at the welch or gaelic languages trugarez ha kenavo ur wech all Re: New forums Loig Gwenedour Roazhon2, 2001-05-22 19:32:21 in other celtic countries, there are some people (maybe 10 or less). People don't care about the other languages, save students and teachers. I know irish and scots gaelic and a bit of welsh and of the other celtic languages too Ken er hetañ Loig Need Brezhoneg Help? Leridy, 2001-05-25 17:12:39 Hi, Can anybody help me? How do you say Manx Gaelic in Breton? Petra eo ar brezhoneg evit Manx Gaelic? Quel est le mot breton pour Mannois? I've been trying to found out but I can't get hold of a decent Breton dictionary? Please email if anybody can help me? Thanks Leridy Re: Need Brezhoneg Help? Stéphane, 2001-05-30 12:10:52 Hi, I've searched for it in my big dictionary, but I didn't find anything :-( On the other hand, I've find the word "Manaw" for "Man" (the island). So, I think that we can say "Manaweg" for the language. Stéphane Re: Need Brezhoneg Help? Claire, 2001-05-30 21:47:55 It is not about breton but about Jean's english. I just want to point out that there are several mistakes in Jean's sentence: I'd like ... Re: Need Brezhoneg Help? Leridy, 2001-06-01 16:09:17 Thanks for that Stephane. Ynys Manaw is actually Welsh for Isle of Man and Manaweg is Welsh for Manx. The Brythonic Celtic languages follow this rule so I sumise that Brezhoneg for Manx is probably Manaveg from Enez Vannav? Cornish is Enys Manow for Isle of Man and Manowek for Manx. Merci, Diolch yn fawr ( Gallois pour Merci) Leridy Re: Need Brezhoneg Help? Yann, 2001-06-09 14:04:04 I see that the last comments made by myself and Claire have been removed, and best so; they were hardly constructive. I wrote mine in a quite angry mood after seeing Claire's rude bullying of Jane and her language skills (that message is obviously still here). Because of this, I would like to ask the forum master what you may write here and what you must not. I would understand a rule saying that you can't insult other participants, but in that case it's very hard to see why Claire's quite unhelpful comment is accepted. I would also like to ask Claire whether you sincerely think that everyone has to speak perfect English unless they what to be ridiculed. If so, I'm quite curious as to how you have found your way to a site for a minority language; wouldn't that go against English linguistic domination. Of course, everyone is entitled to their own views and should have the freedom to express them, I'm just curious Re: Need Brezhoneg Help? jean, 2001-06-09 14:53:40 Thank you to Yann for its intervention. It's true, I don't control well English language but it's of no importance ! everyone understood. What would have been interesting, it is that you a correction propose, accompanied by a pleasant word and not this remark as stupid as awkward. Or although, you have informations on the languages Celtic of the north. Den ebet n'eo ket peurvad A galon Re: Need Brezhoneg Help? Frañsoaz Lermen, 2001-06-09 23:00:12 Well, I propose a little correction (of the Breton only, the English can be corrected by people more competent and more qualified than me). Den ebet n'eo peurvat - without "ket" in a sentence with "ebet" and "peurvat" written with a "t". I made this correction thinking that you may be interested to know the right form of the sentence, but it was not absolutly necessary because what you said is perfectly understandable. I agree with you, nobody is perfect and it's not without reason that we say in Breton "Pep hini en deus ur si, an hini n'en deus ket daou en deus tri" (Everyone has a fault, the one who doesnt have two has three). Unfortunatly, most people are not aware of this and see the chaff of straw in their neighbour's eye without taking notice of the log beam in their own eye. A galon Re: Need Brezhoneg Help? Claire, 2001-06-15 21:05:23 Seing all the arm my message seems to have done I want to apologize. I tried to turn it in a way that would not be insulting. Anyway it was not agressive enough to deserve being insulted by Yann. Maybe I did not respect the net etiquette but I think that yann did not either! Maybe it is a problem of differences between people because when I make mistakes I personnaly prefer to be told about it so that I can improve Normally I would not have tried to carry on this discution( see the "no comment" in my previous message) but as I have been attaked I think I have the right to defend myself. I hope the subject is closed. Claire Re: Need Brezhoneg Help? Yann, 2001-06-17 21:11:14 I am the one who should apologize, since my message was out of line. I had just had a lengthy discussion with someone claiming that English is a superiour language, and my first thought was that Claire was an English-speaker who had find her way in here. I have now read more and realize that I was totally wrong (and my message would have been rude even if I had been right). As a speaker of a small minority language it can sometimes be too much, but Claire's message, even if a little crude, was not serious enough to provoke my reply. I wish to ask Claire and the rest of you to apologize for the tone I used Yann English Language Skills Leridy, 2001-06-18 14:42:00 You should all be congratulated on your language skills, no matter how fluent you are. The point is that you have bothered to learn a different language. My first language is English, my second Welsh and I can easily understand everything which has been written in the forum or at least understood the meaning? Of course there are some spelling errors and grammatical mistakes in some of the postings but to point them out would be pedantic and this isn't a forum on the correctness of the English language after all!! Compared to people in Europe, the UK is miles behind in foreign language skills.In British school you start learning French at the age of 12, German at 13 but most pupils drop the subjects by the age of 14. Needless to say, most people in the UK are monoglots (only speaking one language) and the nature of the English language is a blessing and a burden for native speakers the attitude being that "Why bother learning a different language when everybody is talking English?" Compared to my French your English is excellent!!!! Iechyd da - Yec'hed mat - Sante Leridy Re: English Language Skills Yann, 2001-06-19 15:02:32 It would be nice with a Welsh forum too. I'm quite sure that there are more people able to speak Welsh around here than there are Spanish or German speakers. Basai'n neis efo fforwm Cymraeg hefyd. Dw i'n eithaf siwr bod llawer o siaradwyr Cymraeg na siaradwyr Germaneg neu Spaneg fan hyn Re: English Language Skills Claire, 2001-06-30 21:21:27 So Yann, we were both wrong. Leridy, If I make mistakes in my english I won't find you pedantic if you tell me about them. Maybe not on this forum as it is about breton of course. French people are not very famous for their practice of foreign languages either! Re: English Language Skills Eliboubana, 2002-04-05 11:50:26 Personal note: Den n'eo peurvat a seblant din galleg, goude ma vez kavet a-wechoù, siwazh. N'eus den peurvat a gavan gwell. | |
