Dydh da! Would some kind lady or gentleman suggest what 'mehr' is used for in Cornish? I have found out that it may be translated like 'a lot', yet at the same time, there are plenty of other words being used instead of 'mehr'. So, if one wants to say 'I eat a lot of fruits', or 'I have lots of time', does one use 'mehr' or something else?
Dydh da! I know that the Cornish for ant is moryonen (pl moryon?).
What's the Cornish for ants' nest?
Dydh da! Would some kind lady or gentleman say, is 'My a gar koska meur' a correct translation for 'I like to sleep a lot'? Meur ras very much for your suggestions!
Hello! Friendly Devon maid here (please don't roast me too hard, I love you guys 😭). My family is from all over the Westcountry, not just Devon, and I've been teaching myself a bit of Cornish recently to deepen my connection to the land. I wanted to learn a Brittonic langauge, and I chose Kernewek because it's the closest to home and, as I said, my family is from all over. It's a beautiful language. ANYWAY, to the Kernewek speakers, is there a way to say "Devonian" in Kernewek? If not, is there a logical way to put that word together that would make sense? I'm attempting to write a poem in Kernewek about the Westcounty, and I want to talk about "Cornish seas" and "Devonian hills", and also "Devonian" as in people (just in case that would be different).
Meur ras ♥️
I have an interest in the Cornish Language and find it's inceptual history in the region, it's somewhat forced decline and reconstructed rivival a remarkable story of identity culture and human nature.
However it seems that unlike some languages brought back from the brink, Cornish went essentally extinct and then was revived based on much snippets of much later knowledge of the language. This and it's small base, has lead to several different orthographical versions of the language. All of which with their own arguments, merits and difficulties I imagine.
I would like to know what these versions are based on, what are their key differences, why people use a certain version, and what the most popular versions are and why? The more detail the better! Ty.
