You all know how much I like shopping. So I thought I'd do a Welsh lesson on shopping! Shopping in Welsh is siopa and it's pronounced sh-oh-pah The shop in Welsh is y siop and it's pronounced uh sh-yop Here are some sentences using these words:- I went shopping today = Es i siopa heddiw ess ee sh-op-pah heth-you I went shopping yesterday = Es i siopa ddoe ess ee sh-oh-pah thoy I'm going shopping tomorrow = Dw i'n mynd i siopa yfory doo een mind ee sh-op-pah uh-vorr-ee I didn't go shopping yesterday because of the weather = Wnes i ddim mynd i siopa ddoe oherwydd y tywydd Wness ee thim mind ee sh-op-pah thoy o-ker-eth uh tuh-with I didn't go shopping today because of the weather = Wnes i ddim mynd i siopa heddiw oherwydd y tywydd Wness i thim mind ee sh-op-pah heth-you o-ker-eth uh tuh-with I'm not going shopping tomorrow because of the weather = Dw i ddim yn mynd i siopa yfory oherwydd y tywydd doo ee thim un mind ee sh-op-pah uh-vorr- o-ker-eth uh tuh-with I'm off to the shop = Dw i'n mynd i'r siopa doo ee mind eer sh-yop Supermarket in Welsh is archfarchnad and it's pronounced arkh-var-khnad (the ch is pronounced like the ch in the Scottish word loch). Green grocer in Welsh is Llysieuwr and it's pronounced hluh-shay-oor I'm going to the supermarket later = Dw i'n mynd i'r archfarchnad yn hwyrach doo een mind eer arkh-var-khnad un hoy-rach (Remember the ch is pronounced like the ch in the Scottish word loch). I bought some fresh vegetables at the green grocery = Prynais i lysiau ffres yn y llysieuwr prin-ice ee hluh-shy-eye fres un uh hluh-shay-oor The green grocery sells great strawberries = Mae'r llysieuwr yn gwerthu mefus gwych myr hluh-shay-oor un gwerth-ee mev-iss goo-eech The supermarket has a special offer on pizzas = Mae cynnig arbennig ar bytsas yn yr archfarchnad mye kunn-ig ar-ben-ig ar bitt-sas un ur arkh-var-khnad Market = marchnad markh-nad I'm going to the market tomorrow = Dw i'n mynd i'r farchnad yfory doo een mind eer varkh-nad uh-vorr-ee (Notice the change to an f in the sentence The original word:- marchnad = Market After i'r (to the) it becomes farchnad because of the soft mutation). I bought a cucumber from the supermarket = Prynais i giwcymbr o'r archfarchnad prin-ice ee kyoo-kim-br or arkh-van-khnad Here are a list of some of the things I might get from the shops:- Magazines = Cylchgronau kilkj-gron-eye Bottle of water = Potel ddwr pot-el thour (Mini upside down v over the w) Blueberries = Llus hlees Strawberries = mefus mev-iss Edamame beans = Ffa edamane fah ed-am-ah-meh Spring onions = Winwns gwanwyn ween-oons gwan-wyn Lettuce = Letys let-iss Carrots = moron mor-on Tomatoes = Tomatos toe-mat-oss Red pepper = Pupur coch pip-ir kohkh Cucumber = ciwcymbr kyoo-kim-br Grapefruit = Grawnffrwyth grawn-fr-with Bananas = Bananas ban-an-ass Walnuts = Cnau Ffrengig cna-eye freng-ig Easy peelers = Clementinau klem-en-teen-eye Onion = winwnsyn ween-oon-sin Milk = Llaeth hl-ah-yth Vegan yoghurt = logwrt llysieuol yog-oort hluh-sheye-oll Puddings = Pwdinau pood-een-eye Grated cheese = Caws wedi'i gratio cows wed-ee-ee grat-yo Danish blue cheese = Caws glas Denmarc cows glass den-mark Mini pork pies = Pice bach porc peek-eh bah-k pork Ready meals = Prydau parod preed-eye par-od Tofu = Tofu toe-foo Pizza = Pizza peet-sah Canned vegetable soup Cawl llysiau tun kowl hluh-sh-eye tin Olive oil = Olew olewydd oll-eh-oh oll-eh-with Pot noodles = Pot nwdls pot noodles Cake/cakes = cacen/cacennau ka-ken/ka-ken-eye Crisps = creision krey-shon Breakfast cereal = Grawnfwyd brecwast grawn-voo-eed breck-wast Frozen peas = Pys wedi'u rhewi pees wed-ee-ee rreh-wee Those meatball things that I can't say the name of! = Ffagots fa-g-otts Fish fingers = Bysedd pysgod bis-eth piss-god Battered fish = Pysgod wedi'u gorchuddio piss-god wed-ee-ee gor-khuth-yo Mushrooms = madarch mad-arkh Biscuits = bisgedi bis-ged-ee Tea bags = bagiau te bag-ee-eye tay Toilet paper = Papur ty bach pap-ear tee bah-kh (A little upside down v over the t) Washing up liquid = Hylif golchi llestri huh-liv gol-khee hlesh-tree Bird seed = Hadau adar ha-dye ah dar Now see if you can make some sentences using these words and the words for shopping/shop/supermarket/market or green grocer.
