F.a.o. Svejk

[Tilly2]

Good morning, sweety.
Can you help me please.
How do you pronounce Cerist and Clarach (the names of the two Dyfi osprey chicks)

[Tilly2]

He must have gone to the pub.

[shoota]

never call me sweety :-(

[Tilly2]

It was a typo. Should have been 'sweaty'.

[Svejk]

Sorry, I don't know, Honey. X

[Tilly2]

Why don't you know, sweety? I thought you were welsh.

[Svejk]

I was born in Croydon, till.
Hope all's well with you. ;)

[Tilly2]

Oofh! Croydon?

I'm fine thanks. Got a bit bored topping and tailing 1567 blackcurrants. Now doing them instages.

[carrust]

What's worse, being born in Croydon or accused of being Welsh:-)

[cupid04]

Being Scottish!

[shoota]

Does it really take 1567 blackcurrants to make 2lbs and did you actually count them, dearest?

[tonyav]

Afternoon gorgeous not you sweaty,carrust or shoota ok.

[carrust]

Sod-off then tony:-)

[tonyav]

LOL.

Tilly -
In Welsh, the letter "C" is always as in Cold never as in Ceiling.
So Cerist would be Ker-ist
Clarach is a bit harder to explain because the "CH" at the end is pronounced as Van Gough used to be pronounced
I hope that helps, cariad ;)

[Tilly2]

Thank you, WyeDyed. That was helpful.

[WyeDyed]

^^^
Actually "Bach" (the composer) would have been a better analogy.

[Tilly2]

I think I can do the Bach, rather than the Gough.

(Or I might just say Clara to myself)

[Peter Pedant]

Cerist is like /kerist/

Ceri is /keri/ which I always find a bit weird

and yeah I think the ch sound in Clarach is like ch in Loch


why did you think some with a name like Svejk was er Welsh ?

[Svejk]

I changed my name from Taliesin, Peter.
People couldn't spell it????

[mrs_overall]

For those that don't know - Svejk is a Danish word meaning sweaty
