Merde. Je n'ai pas vu de remarque Joeyo. Cependant, je suis très heureux d'apprendre de votre robe rose symbolique. :wink:

"ble ydy 'r cathau" c'est "ou est le chat ?"
Ah. I was given the phrase, "Ble mae'r cathod?" for your "ble ydy 'r cathau"

I can consult my source, but he's Welsh, and difficult to find - what's your take on the difference?
[EDIT] Maybe I've missed it, since you're saying that "ble ydy 'r cathau" is "ou est le chat?", whereas I believe "Ble mae'r cathod?" is "ou sont les chats?" - is that right? [/EDIT]

I speak no languages other than English. And the occasional phrase of Gujurati: "biladi kian chhe?"

I just set a translator on that .... said this way it in a very pleading manner & refers to cats as a group ... it asks "please, where is the (group of) cats ?"

A more simple way of asking "where is the cat ?" is "ble ydy 'r cath ?" .... "cathau" is plural, cats ... "is or are" are the same word.

This all presupposes you give a shite, of course ! ("Mo a hunrhywun churiau a cach , wrth gwrs" more or less).

To be honest I don't have a take on it. I don't really speak Welsh, though can blag it. Certainly I know enough to stop the fire-starters muttering about me under their breaths as I venture into NW-Wales.

Welsh changes from North to South and East to West, plus, of course, there are many ways of saying the same thing in all languages. "Where is the cat" may be "whereabout will the cat be ? ... or Where may I locate the cat ? ... etc.) so either may be correct.

Cat is 'Cath' ... any progression of the word may be possible, though Cathod isn't one I'd know. Indeed, the words can be progressed by changes at the beginning as well as the end of the word. Hence Gymru, rather than Cymru in many instances.
Fair enough. Maybe we should all just stick to Latin.
