What locals actually say

Can I have a pint, please?

Ga i beint, plis?

'Ga i' is the everyday spoken form of 'May I have?', while 'beint' shows the soft mutation of 'peint' after it.

Where’s the loo?

Ble mae’r tŷ bach?

'Tŷ bach' literally means 'little house' and is the ordinary Welsh euphemism for the toilet.

Are you coming with us?

Wyt ti’n dod efo ni?

'Efo' is a familiar spoken Welsh choice for 'with', rather than the more formal-sounding 'gyda'.

Can I pay by card?

Ga i dalu gyda cherdyn?

“Ga i” is the colloquial Welsh permission form, while “gyda cherdyn” shows the soft mutation of c to ch after “gyda”.

Is the station far from here?

Ydy’r orsaf yn bell o fan hyn?

“Fan hyn” is the natural Welsh phrase for “from here”, and “yr orsaf” shows the soft mutation of feminine “gorsaf” after the definite article.

My brother’s already home.

Mae fy mrawd adre’n barod.

“Fy mrawd” uses the soft mutation of “brawd” after “fy”, while “adre” is the everyday word for “at home” in colloquial Welsh.

It’s pouring down.

Mae hi’n bwrw glaw yn drwm.

Welsh weather commonly uses the impersonal feminine “hi” in “mae hi’n bwrw glaw”, meaning literally that it is striking rain.

I’m working from home today.

Dw i’n gweithio o adre heddiw.

“Dw i’n” is the everyday colloquial first-person present construction, and “adre” gives this a distinctly spoken Welsh feel rather than the more formal “gartref”.
