I live in Canada where there are two official languages in use.. the original poster could well have been French Canadian although I knew that he wasn't because of the mention of Nissan France.. French Canadians do not have a problem with using either language, and if you sit and listen, they mix the languages up.. to the newbie, it sounds strange but hey.. Rhys, you have a Welsh name and if you live in the UK should be used to being mocked at times.. it is not always taken in good spirit , huh.. the Welsh get their own back tho.. lol.. they sign public toilets up as 'cyflesterau' so the English tourists can't find them.. lololololol.. |

Cyflesterau? what about Whare Paku and Whare Iti? Here in New Zealand there are two offical languages, English and Maori, I know a little conversational maori but no welsh and no french... Heck, I know more Latin than french. Most of my Whanau can manage basic Maori and of course a Kaumatua is usually around we can ask to translate if we're on a marae and need a translation, but the waiatas sounds nice evern if you can't understand them rhys |
