"Mitching" in Cardiff/South Wales means to skip class or school. You'd more commonly say "on the mitch" though more than likely. "We all went on the mitch for our last 2 lessons yesterday" as an example. 👍
@@leapoldstotch4987 in the more south part of wales we spell it like ‘mitching’ and yeah it means like skipping class or school and also in the south part of wales tidy to us means clean so like “make sure your room is tidy”
One thing to remember, NEVER confuse Wales for England, it's NOT a part of England. Mitching in wales is always associated with skipping school, not goofing off.🏴
Chware teg made me thing playing tag (Welsh person here). Mitching has always been associated with skipping classes for me.. Most of the first half were never used by myself or others in my Welsh Town.

It's like when you're from America and everyone thinks you have a Southern accent and dialect. Every region has its own way of speaking with its own accent. I'm actually Welsh by heritage and wish I could understand the language!
Im proud to be a welsh woman but sadly my ancestors although welsh as likely from many welsh royal lines I never got to learn welsh and want to learn more about traditions etc my dna is welsh and ive been up in north wales every weekend but i feel I almost cant call myself full welsh being as I wasn’t born within the current border on the welsh side but Ill always identify as welsh or at least brythonic despite not being able to speak it much.
I haven't watched Buzz Feed since Safiya left . Just thought I'd check in. I lived in Wales for 9 years and went to a Welsh primary school they even tried to teach me welsh but I could never pick up the language.
Some of the initial slang terms are from the opposite end of Wales to Wrexham, good attempts though. North and South dialects and words can be very different
To everyone who sees this comment, keep pushing in life and never give up. Can't wait to see you successful one day and May God bless you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Except you got mitching wrong, its skyving school, not going to school that day, pretending to yr parents you went but didn't really! Goofing off is not specific enough!
Wrexham is in North Wales. Most of the sayings were from South Wales.
South Wales is basically England hardly anyone speaks Welsh

Mutching not mitching .
Yeah, that's how i used it too (South Wales)
@@leapoldstotch4987 Really depends on where in south Wales, I've heard everything from 'mitching' and 'mUtching' to 'mURching'.

I've used the term "Ych a fi" all my life but I never saw it in writing until now...I picked up the term from my mother and it's never left me 🤣🤣🤣
Fun to watch this being Welsh :))
ia mae o yn ddoniol
My ancestors spent some time in Wales before coming to America. They originated in Mongolia/Eastern Russia and moved west over a few millennia.
Some of the south Walian terms I was like, Be ti siarad am? Siaradwch Cymraeg!! XD xx
@@stacywinson3955 😂 digon cywir!
Pwy sy'n hoffi Gymraeg?
"Shwmae" means hello (informal) and isn't usually a question. I was taught to use "sut wyt ti?" or "sut dych i?" for "how are you?"
Sut mae? Or S'mae. Or variable spelling of. "Y'alright?". So it's kinda both really
Jesus Christ, the Welsh language isn't "slang."

03:39 Holyhead (Holly-Head) is where I'm from. You don't need to go there.
Welsh is one of the best languages in Britain.
yr gorau! 😂🏴😂
Definitely in the top ten
It’s the oldest language of Britain
@@Ccccc-mi3tr nos da good night is opposite way round so we would say night good or morning good very old like tribe like
Its one of the rarest too!
As a welshman i find it kind of sexy hearing an american woman trying to speak welsh.
Mitching means playing truant from school and is used all over uk. A cwtch is also the cupboard under the stairs.
“i don’t want to go back to work” honestly is so relatable
Surprised at how good the pronunciation was 😂 (+ a lot of the guesses too)
Where I live in Wales, how are you is “Sut Wyt ti?”
Mitching does not mean goofing off... And I should know, I'm Welsh lmao
Mitching means skipping school where I come from in Northern Ireland
Nope, that's mooching.
Means that in Wales too
“Slang?” This is our language?!
Okay but these are literal translations, you should have them react to idioms and ask them what they think they mean
THIS IS A LOT OF WELSH SLANG!
Most of these were South Walian slang and words, Wrexham is in the North…very different. Im North Walian myself.
I'm south welsh and never heard any of these except tidy and cwtch.
@@striderwhiston9897 im south wales and heard of all of them. I guess they picked phrases from Swansea lol
I’m from Wrexham and never heard of mitching or daps.
Daps is a South Wales valleys thing
Both are south Wales, common there but not up north
Both South Wales valley terms and even then it's very specific.

I kind of love that South Wales just calls it a ‘ping oven’. Don’t ask me why, because I couldn’t tell you. It’s just cute.

It is NOT slang it’s our language
Nailed the pronunciations! Epic. Haha
I used mitching in the same sense as bunking. As in skipping lessons basically!
I've lived near Wrexham in North Wales my whole life and I've never heard of those phrases lol
Iesu mawr!
@@HamnaTabuu big Jesus!
You did really well!!!
A lot of these answers were wrong mind 😂 Like 'mitching'? Means like 'Playing hooky', 'Bunking off school'.
Some of these terms aren't solely used in Wales but in Northern Ireland and Scotland
Videos like these honestly make me wanna melt my brain

I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK!
SPENSER IS SO CUTE!

Dude one of the guys looks like the love child of john krasinski and Shawn white 😆😆😆😆
more like southwalian slang!
I didn't know some of those "common Welsh phrases" and I'm Welsh but Da Iawn for trying.
SPENSER IS MY FAVORITE!
Proper Welsh people pepper their sentences with actual Welsh.
Greeting: “alright la”

It’s always unique to hear how other countries say American slang

Why do southern Welsh when talking about Wrecsam? 🤦♂️
How are you suppose to make that pronunciation from that type of spelling, Talking about cwtch btw,
Dw'i yn hoffi cwrw 😛
Indonesian slang language bruhh
Who actually give an eff...
Can't they afford a vowel?
There are more vowels in Welsh than English , 2 more
Haha very original comment
I'LL TAKE ANACHRONISTIC SPELLINGS OF ARCHAIC VENUES/CULTURES AND METAPHORS FOR 800....OR UH OH MAKE THAT SIXPENCE ALEX!!
A E I O U W Y. I would say that it's English that is lacking in vowels.
Didn't butcher it did quite well now to learn how to say Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobyllantyseiliogogogoch
And yes it's all one word and it's a place name
Welsh language is a language not “slang”
Not bad
Then again, Wrecsam Welsh is just Scouse talking over Welsh words
Actually Scouse is English spoken with a north Walian accent...
