Smot Y Ci to the rescue

Diolch Smot!

Is smot the Welsh for the word spot?

nullispointer.bsky.social•17 days ago

Apparently Smotyn is, but yeah Spot the Dog in English, Smot Y Ci yn Gymraeg.

florilegia.bsky.social•17 days ago

Exactly! Smotiog is spotty (as in covered in dots) but Smot is the little dog from the books

The Welsh word for owl is beautifully onomatopoeic.

Pigs say soch soch! (As in Jaci Soch the kids' book)

Jaci Soch 😍

aliceponderland.bsky.social•17 days ago

Ignorant question in my part but how is that pronounced? Sock? Sotch?

gwenynen.bsky.social•17 days ago

Ch in Welsh is always like the last sound in "loch" (and soch rhymes with loch ☺️)

aliceponderland.bsky.social•17 days ago

Brilliant, thank you

Surely you must have heard a dragon.

They’re annoying rare in the south

@swilua.bsky.social do you know of any good ones?

swilua.bsky.social•18 days ago

I do not ☹️

florilegia.bsky.social•18 days ago

It's ok: you have a lot going on! Google tells me that bees bwrlwm, which is pretty excellent

swilua.bsky.social•18 days ago

The names of animals are pretty excellent

Butterflies are pilla-pallas
