- These are some things Welsh people say! My name is Ysis, I'm a Brazilian living in Wales and in this episode of the Living Abroad Diaries I share a few funny words and sentences that I hear a lot here in Wales. I was brought up in Brazil and moved to the UK for almost 10 years ago. I'm married to a Welshman (hence, I live in Wales!) and together we have two children.

↠ ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Ysis, Brazilian mummy to James (3) and Isabella (1) living in South Wales, UK; I post videos about mindful motherhood, raising toddlers, bringing up bilingual children, parenting away from home & lifestyle. 2019 is my no-buy year; this is the year I stop shopping! I will be documenting my journey towards becoming a more careful shopper and completely changing a lifetime of bad shopping habits.
NEW VIDEOS: Monday, Wednesday & Friday
I recently started my journey to becoming a more mindful parent, which led me to start my RUclips series Mindful Motherhood. My channel offers mothers a positive place to pause and reflect more deeply on parenting, learn techniques and share personal experiences of how to return to the now and be present as a mum by letting go of the overwhelming, multitasking, always busy ideal way of living in today's society.
💛 Join me for Mindful Motherhood videos every Monday!

i'm welsh and i'm sat here like " wait only welsh people use these "
Haha! That one is such a pet peeve of mine 😬
Same ngl😂
Same 😂

I'm Welsh living in the states and I laughed the whole video cause I still catch our family talking like this .... Pretty lush isn't it
"Anyone can cuddle,
But only the welsh can cwtch"
I want to give everyone a cwtch after covid
Sorry but this was common in the Forest of Dean.
As a proud welsh woman from Swansea living in England for the past 40 years I love to go back and visit, when a girl in a shop told me the skirt I was buying was 'lush' I knew I was home :)
And in wales people always ask "how?" When what they really mean is 'why'. Ie "i think im going to lose my job" "how?" Lol
Oh my god. How have I been Welsh my whole life and never noticed that 😮
Omg same
Same 😂
Guilty!
I don’t say that but when my friends say it to me I’m so confised
Brilliant, proud to be welsh from Swansea🏴👍🏻
It is sad how our flag isn't an emote
Cymru Am Byth
I literally go there like every month because there's loads of big shops like primark and like h&m and like sports direct 😊
Same from Swansea too
ayyyyye Swansea squad!

"Whose coat is that jacket?" Makes sense to me, probably because I'm welsh.
*Whose
I say that all the time
Makes sense to me but I'm not welsh.
"jase-kit", I've heard.
It actually originates from the language.
I'm proud to be Welsh🏴
TLM 52 same
Same 🏴

I am from the Rhondda Valleys in South Wales, this is so legit :D so proud to be Welsh
😁🏴
Chantelle_Sings _
noice
i’m from the rhondda as well
Chantelle_Sings _ same I’m from Barry but I now live in the valleys. Bod yn falch pob dydd. Lol
me to
I’m a Londoner and to my ears in your normal speech you are definitely Welsh with a light touch .incredible!
Cwtch can also mean small space! We used it for the space under the staircase as well as hug.
I think it literally translates from the Welsh as a small cupboard isn't it?
And also a place for the dog's bed. "Get in your cwtch!" my nan would always say to her lovely mutt. But when she had a sack of potatoes delivered she'd also say "Put them in the cwtch" as in under the stairs. Luckily nobody ever put the potatoes in the dog's bed. 😂
And we had a coal cwtch when I were a kid...
4:40 Sometimes you don't even need to repeat a phrase to reinforce it - you can say "She was furious she was", but "Furious she was" is slightly more emphatic. In Welsh, the constituents of a sentence can be placed ahead of the verb for emphasis - e.g. "Mae hi'n byw yng Ngwent" ("She lives in Gwent") is fine, but it's slightly more emphatic to say "Yng Ngwent mae hi'n byw" (literally "In Gwent she lives").
Even though a region may no longer be heavily Welsh-speaking, it's as if the patterns of Welsh speech are preserved in the way in which people speak English there. As John Edwards, who wrote some entertaining books on 'Wenglish', put it: "We still speak Welsh in the Valleys, but it's spoken through the medium of English".
Loved the video, and your accent is fab :)
Wow, Gwent is not a card game originally. I felt like I was struck by lightning when I stumbled upon this, while reading. Live and learn.
Excellent response.
I’m from Wales and *whos coat is that jacket * and I say it all the time 😂😂
😂
my WELSH school banned us from saying that cause it “doesn’t make any sense” but everyone was getting in trouble so they gave up 😆😆😆
LRI 82 wait but what does it mean?
Hma
It just means who’s coat is that or who’s is that jacket
@@YsisLorenna I live in llanelli like next to Swansea and a hour away from Cardiff and I hear all of these all the time
It's so refreshing to see such a positive person interacting with Welsh culture as well as representing it so positively. Diolch yn ddiffuant.
“Who’s coat’s that jacket hanging on the floor over by there?”😂🤷🏻♀️
*Whose
lol
I live in the USA but my dad is welsh. I’ve heard almost all of these from visiting my aunts, uncles and cousins. Loved this
"I'm not being funny but..."
"Stonking"
"Tamping"
"Give em a tumping"
"You alright or what?"
I love the word "tamping" but I think I've only heard it since I've moved further West! I use "Stonking", quite a bit! AND "I'm not being funny but..." I've also heard:
"Poody" (don't know how to spell it) - sulking!
"Howling" for drunk, is another word I've heard here - I didn't use it in Cardiff!
Tidy butt.
@@ninnyspencer4774 What does tamping mean?
@@ninnyspencer4774 Oh, lol ok. I like Welsh slang
We would say something like …you alright or whaaaa?
THIS IS ICONIC! I LOVE IT! I’m welsh and a fluent welsh speaker and honestly I forget I do literally all of these 😂
“Who’s coat is that jacket” is said as a joke, as is “who’s boots are those shoes”like.
I do so many of these ESPECIALLY 'now in a minute'!! Loved this video - tidy but, proper lush isn't it?! 😂
We say “now in a minute”…thought that was normal…I’m from Newfoundland…we also say like, and luh at the end of a sentence. We are descendants of UK and Ireland.
Yup, I also heard people used tidy in a sarcastic way.
My friend is from Swansea and he says “mind” ALLLL the time at the end of his sentences “it is mind” “ i don’t know mind” i love it😂wish i had a welsh accent 🥰
That's so true mind
I can literally relate to that so much! honestly mind
Mind you, I use that all the time mind
lmao swansea girls are so funny
I’m from Cardiff and all of these are so true! I don’t say most of them but I do hear them a lot!! 💕
Danielle H I’m from Cardiff as well lol
Same!
Same here! I find that people older than me say a lot more of them
I know that this comment is old, but I only found the video recently
I left Swansea more than 40 years ago for London and I still use a lot of those expressions and pronunciations.
I couldn’t drop them even if I tried.Your vid gave me a good laugh and brought back some fond memories-isn’t it?
Same here.
I'd say many of these are sayings from the South Wales Valleys area from Swansea to Newport.
Lovely! As a Welsh exile in Canada, this was a delight to watch. You are a beautiful Brazilian/ Welsh person, and a credit to the welsh speaking world. Thanks!
I’m welsh yay 🏴🏴
☺️ 🏴
I moved to South Wales 18 months ago and I was already aware of lots of these from tv and banter with Welsh people I knew. But one thing I noticed a loooot when I moved was a phrase that’s used as a statement of agreement or to show your suggestion is an acceptable solution to something, and that is ‘there you go’ or ‘there you/we are’ which also has an optional ‘then’ at the end 😀
Wotan Lead The Way I’ve never heard it used in England like it is in Wales. I have heard it used in England, but a lot of Welsh use it way more than I’ve ever heard someone English use it.
It comes from the 'yes/no' structure in the elsh, Quentin. Mostly, Welsh uses, for example' an interrogative as a reply, so, is there? rep. there is, Is it/It is ,do they, they so etc... In Welsh 'na fe - dyna fe, there it is. 'na di - there you are.
I’m Welsh & yes 100% we say these things and more. 👍👍👍👏👏👏🏴
Thank you for a beautifully presented item! My mam(1926-2011) was born in Glamorgan,the last of 12 kids. Very hard ,disadvantaged early life she had. She met my dad( a Londoner) when he was doing his National service in Wales: she worked in the NAAFI. She lived up here in Kent for 54years and never lost her accent - she wasn't a fluent speaker of Welsh as she was of the generation that had a placard round their neck and a beating if they were heard using their own language. She always said daps for plimsolls: loshins for sweets: poor little dab for any unfortunate being and called on "Duw" when angry!! "Ych I fi"when we got mucky. "Shopping is it then?": for "are going shopping? and"light the fire then" for "go and light the fire". I'm very proud of my Welsh heritage and I think I sound more like her as the years pass. There's funny!
Yes. Daps, and the "Welsh Not" "shopping is it then", all interesting additions to the video
"
I don't know if this is something that comes up as much in everyday conversation (I'm Welsh by blood but have always lived in England) but one of my favourite Welsh-isms from my parents is being called 'bach' ('little one') as a term of endearment. That and cwtch are both things I didn't realise as a kid were Welsh words because I heard them at home so often!
My daughter thought it was hilarious when they were kids because I said Sospan instead of Saucepan. I never realized I pronounced it in Welsh all my life and still do to this day
People in South Wales say
"I do 'ave"
"Where's it to?"
This is West Country talk, mainly from Gloucestershire and Somerset, brought in by English people who came to work in the coal mines.
In the valleys they used to say "We do" instead of "we are" - "we do go down the shops". A guy asks his friend who passed him driving earlier - " where were you going when i saw you coming"
We say a lot of these phrases in Somerset too, I think the West Country shares a lot with Wales
Superlative no they dont only wales says alf if the mind
I’m Welsh & living in Somerset and I agree, there are so many similarities!
Superlative hmm I’m not sure, My mum is Welsh but has recently moved to England with me and my dad there are some similarities I guess
@@ellenbyrne7849 I live 40 mins away from the Severn bridge and know a fair few Welsh guys, we definitely share a lot of phrases and speech patterns. Obviously I'm not saying the West country and Wales are the exact same, but South Wales and the west country have a lot in common
Large scale immigration in the 19th Century from the West Country introduced a lot of these sayings into Wales and mingled with Welsh language structure. These sayings are pretty much restricted to the former coal mining areas but aren’t general to Wales.
Hi Ysis I'm from Ireland but have been working and teaching in Cardiff since 2010 so I can totally relate 😁
whose coats is that jacket? doubled me up in tears laughing, yeap I think every Welsh person has used that before.
I lived in Swansea for 3 years as well. As a Brazilian who could speak and understand American English it was a rough time understanding the local accent. In the end it became the regular homie accent.
Do you speak welsh now or english
@@inclxsed9719 I wish I could speak Welsh but it's too difficult
I'm from Ireland. We have some unique sayings here too. I'm from a part of Ireland were literally no one speaks Irish so there's probably more unique sayings of words bring taken from the Irish language and used with the English language in other parts of Ireland.
Irish people say now in a minute, and heaving, also. Would you agree? My favourite Tipp one is well. Well meaning hello, goodbye, how are you? A very economical greeting. You go by intonation to pick up what is being said. Then Cork. Cop on. Which means behave yourself. When angry: would you ever cop on.
My aunt's mother was Welsh and she used to say "isn't it" after pretty much anything she said, isn't it?
That’s very much a “hwntws” (south walian), thing to say. Personally, I’m a “gog” (gogledd cymru = north wales). In fact, most of these, are very much south walian
I grew up in New England in the US. We use that expression in the same way as Ysis explained .
@@rebeccalyons1327 They said "isn't it" at the end of many sentences in my village near Llanfyllin Powys too. I wondered if there is an equivalent in Welsh since the folks were mainly Welsh speakers.
I’m welsh dwi mor prowd I fod yn gymraeg 🏴
Dw i ddim yn dod o Gymru, ond dw i'n caru eich iaith gymaint ac ymarfer bob dydd! Dw i ddim yn dda iawn eto, serch 😅
MJ Xx 🤦♀️
maen edrych mor od ar youtube
LRI 82 dwi’n cytuno 💀
MJ Xx falch * dim prowd
I just realised that I say ‘now In a minute’ wayyy too often. I was cooking in school today. And I said ‘I’ll clean those now in a minute’ 😂😂
My Welsh mother and her sister used to always talk about “donkey’s yurs,” meaning a long time, playing on the pun of years/ears-long ears = long years. “I haven’t heard from him in donkey’s yurs.”
I loved listening to you. I am only half Welsh and grew up in Dorset, but I remember my dear mother using some of these. I have lived in Australia for more than 60 years but people still pick my English accent. I sing with two Welsh choirs and love everything Cymraeg. Thanks for this!! (ps your accent is beautiful)
we say ‘mind’ after every sentence, where I’m from we say ‘oh, there we are then’ a lot but I don’t know if it’s a welsh thing but yeah.
These are my top two for my next video! Haha
I’m welsh grew up in England never realised the sayings stuck with me so much until now.
My favourite. ^There he was, gone." Every time I go back home to Wales, the old habit of ending sentences with the word, "Mun" comes back instantly.
I love being Welsh and loved this video!
😂😂 perfect. I moved here 19 years ago and I'm still taken aback by a few Welsh sayings lol. Amazing place
The now in a minute expression reminds me of something we say in Spain which is 'ahora después', this translates to 'now after' lol it doesn't make any sense but we all use it to say what we will do somewhat shortly after we are speaking 🤣🤣 it's fun seeing similarities like that in different languages!
I have Welsh ancestry. My Great Grand parent immigrated from Wales to the U.S. in the 1800. I lived in the U.S. most of my life. We have said in my family, "I'm saying". Never thought about the significance of that.
Australian: Goo' day, mate!
Welsh: Alright, butt?
I’ve been fascinated by your beautiful country and wish I could live there since I was a child. Thank you for this video, it brought me a smile.
I loved your video! We have a another family we're friends with and the wife is from Wales... I love it because I've never met anyone from there before! Besides, she and her husband are such great people, easy for anyone to love. But she's sparked an interest in me fore Wales. Your video was great! I love learning about the little word phrases different areas use! I lived for a few years near Atlanta, Georgia in the US and they have several sayings in the south. But the one that stood out to me was "might could." You might could do this, or you might could do that... I even heard it in a popular Christian song once and instantly knew that song write must have been a southerner! So learning about the different sayings from Wales was so fun and interesting. Thank you!
Chopsy is another great Welsh expression I love.
All of these are very true, im from north wales! Diolch x
beautytxox
😮
Where in North Wales? I've never heard anyone I know or anyone I've met up here saying most of those (with one or two exceptions), unless they're saying them ironically.
bujin1977 I say some of these in North East Wales, since it’s a scouse-Welsh area haha
@@bujin1977 Correct, her observations are all South Wales.
@@bujin1977 Same. This is a video of things 'South' Walian people say. Some of the things she listed I'd even attribute more to the zoomer generation than the Welsh (e.g. proper, lush). And the last example is a stereotypical saying for a guy.
The only one of these I've heard up here was Ych a fi. And that was one person. Two decades ago.
With the exception of a couple of those sayings, they're all pretty regional and limited to South Wales. I was born in Wales and have lived here all my life, and I have never heard people up here in the north say most of those things.
On the other hand, I had a friend in university from Bristol and he used to use the word "lush" all the time. As did my niece who grew up in Gloucester, so that's a term that has leaked across the border.
But (and without meaning any offence by this - just pointing out that Wales is the same as anywhere else in the world in that we don't all speak the same way), saying "things Welsh people say" with these examples is like saying "things English people say" and filling it with stuff you'd only ever hear from the mouths of Geordies.
That's what I was going to say, never hear most of these in the North!
The English spoken in the Valleys comes from the miners recruited from the smaller coalfields in Somerset and the Forest of Dean
Wow, I'm Brazilian and I'm married to a Welsh man too and it is SO refreshing to hear you speaking with Welsh accent. Da yawn i ti!!! We are preparing to go back to Wales and finding your channel was a great bonus. Hope we bump into each other at some point. Hwyl!
The coat/jacket is deliberate and meant to be humorous, like " are you reading that paper you're sitting on" but unlike pointing to an empty seat and saying "is there anyone sitting there".which is humourously phrased in English but a genuine enquiry.
I live abroad now but on my last visit home I found my sister using "lush" and this is quite new, it was not used when I was growing up ( I'm nearly 70) and though she was the only person I heard using it, she used it quite a lot!
My favourite saying is "the end house in the middle" 🏴👍
By here is my ear, I use it to hear and I've had it for years
As a North Walian I think the first time I heard most of those things was when watching Gavin and Stacey
The jacket is the physical thing that is sitting there, that coat is what is becomes when you put it on 🤣😂🤣
Ych-a-fi - i never knew it was only a Welsh thing but it makes sense as I have never heard anyone say it apart from my nana who is from South Wales! Also made me laugh out at the father in law comment of who’s coat is that jacket hanging on the floor because I heard it in a Welsh accent too😂! Loved the video 😁
We have some similar things in Australia, given we were settled by the British it's not uncommon to use Welsh, English, Irish and Scottish sayings in our everyday language
Same
Point of correction-
The British migrants speak in that manner in Australia. The natives of that land occupied by other nations do not speak in that manner!
My mother was Welsh and my brother now lives there. Brought back many memories, Thanks.
Cwtch has multiple meanings beside a cuddle. It's the cupboard under the stairs, it's to hide something and when I was a kid, picking blackberrys it was your patch to pick from and if someone came on your patch you would say "bar cwtch".
Loved this little interlude- took me back to my childhood....you are spot on. Some of the sayings you featured have become better known thanks to Ruth Jones’ ‘Nessa’ from Gavin and Stacey.
"Now in a minute" is our equivalent of "Fiji time"
Good Job. What a Marvellous film you got on yur! I enjoyed, Lush!
I use “isn’t it” while speaking Welsh - “yn dydy e” all the time, just noticed now haha 😂
Im watching always bcz of your honest smile, I m also smiling
After watching this I've just realised how welsh I am 😂
I live in Canada and I’m from Carmarthen. I still say Mun and init without realizing it. This was pointed out to me.
Me too
I’m half Welsh half English from Cardiff and I have to say, a cwtch is a *superior* hug
With regard to the Welsh use of the word 'yur', did you hear the one about the Welshman who had half an ear missing? They called him 18 months!
Hey Ysis, Video muitobom, tenho uma Galesa na minha vida que não quero que saia nunca e achar uma Brasileira que fala Welsh é bem reconfortante, vai ajudar bastante, aliás quem me mostrou esse video foi ela hahah I also can speak english, but I didn''t see any comment in portuguese and I wanted to be the first hahah by the way I love Wales
Or Victor! Que bom que gostou do video. Wales really is a special place, and the Welsh people are lush! 😁🏴
I feel like it's not uncommon in the U.S. to hear the variation "I'm just saying" or "I'm just sayin' ".
Very true! I am in North Texas and grew up in Central and East Texas, especially in East Texas amongst the older generations they would say some of those variations. Many people descend from people of welsh origins and believe that is where it came from. Isn’t it often used, just sayin’. I understand language-wise that Southerners tend to retain the old sayings and also foods as well.
I say that a lot, not born in Wales, but my grandparents were and it must have come to me through them. Also mind... over by that or there.
I am in the US midwest, Chicago, and picked up "I'm just sayin" from standup comedy. I hear it used around me to mean: "I don't mean to offend" but even more to be ironic and mean "I am pretending I don't mean to offend, but we both know I really meant it and now you'll look like a jerk to come back at me as angry as you really are." Usually it's used to tease a friend, but can be used when someone unexpectedly takes offense as a way to backpedal and soften it or distance yourself, like saying "Or I could be wrong" or "That's my perspective but I may not know as much as you do."
Loved this and would love you to do more videos on this topic, Ysis!
I’m Welsh but live abroad and this made me feel really homesick!
Who is from Wales and says 'tooth' but the 'oo' is pronounced like book
yeeees
Ahhhh yessssssssss
@fortnitebot247 yess boy (or girl )
I don't get it, how do people say tooth then? Iv always said it like that.
i do but everyone hates me for it, (who are welsh)
Haha I feel as if “I’m only saying” = ‘no offence, but’ 😂
Welsh, I am, from Swansea, living abroad.
"Who's coat is that jacket?" is a new one on me, never heard it before.
But...one of my favourites is.."now then!"
Great video...it got me smiling in recognition. And your accent is SO Welsh...loved hearing it!
Haha loved this Ysis! Can relate on so many levels 😂 Love Matthew’s input and yes, I totally get it. Ask him ‘whose shoes are those boots?!’
Very true :), but for any viewers that are interested, you should know that the languagr mentioned in this video specifically applies to people from the Valleys and industrial towns of South Wales, not North Wales.
yep. the dialect of South Wales is the more commonly known though.
am guilty of a lot of these 😂. I always say "there's lovely" or "now in a minute". Also finish sentences with "isn't it". Some of them I didn't realise only Welsh people say. I would add calling someone stupid 'twp'.
yes. twp is very common
I hear Welsh people in my part of South Wales, Cwmbran at least saying "mun" example " come on mun" , " hurry up mun" around my part of South Wales we say it a lot.
I'm born in Australia to a Welsh 🏴 Father and Australian Mother. Oh lord I feel like a square peg to a round hole at time's. My Father was from Nelson and I tell you now I wouldn't choose to be any other way.. 🏴 I have only been to Wales the once when I was a young boyo, but I can remember that I felt in my heart that this very different land was somehow familiar to me.. Still to this very day I will sometimes have moments where I feel like I'm a long way from home even though I'm born and bred in Australia.. Everytime I meet someone from Wales in my life I get an amazing feeling of pure joy as I feel like I'm speaking with someone whom naturally understands me.. I feel like the Welsh blood within me definitely has me being very aware of emotions, compassion, empathy and passion when ever I speak of anything, it's like it all stems from the feelings of observation with in life... Can any Welshman/woman let me know if this is a Welsh thing or am I just a nutter..? Lol
You’ve definitely got the Welsh twang
Hungry, I am for some Collier's Welsh Rarebit! Now in a minute. I am just saying.
This video was so funny. Exactly what I needed to brighten my day.
It's funny, and cute 😆 "who's coat is that jacket hanging on the floor"
Proud to be welsh and i’m from pen llyn 💘
Hi Cara :) x
Ysis Lorenna helo, wich part of wales are you 🏴 ? x
im welsh from south wales (pontardawe) and i say all of them without heb sylwi yn enwedig (yur)=ear,year and here
This is brillant video. I chuckled all of the way through it.
Sometimes if somebody says "Can you do this now?" you may hear the reply "I'm busy now. I'll do it again" (at another time) or "I'll do it now jest" meaning later or "later on".
To "cwtch" can also mean to hide (something) or the cwtch, the space under the stairs or a place where the coal was kept, the coal cwtch.
To "potch" - to tinker with. Blackpat - cockroach. The list is endless.
Around here (Rhondda Valley) you hear them all the time.
I love your accent. You really have picked up a Welsh "twang".
Although I left Wales over 60 years ago, I still use over half of the expressions mentioned. I think 'lush' is a new expression. I'd never heard it until I saw an episode of 'Gavin & Stacey'. Ha Ha.
I remember when I said 'I'll do it now 1 minute' to my teacher who was English and we got into an argument over it. I won btw😂 and she got me chocolate😂
Who's boots that shoe?
We grew up in different schools together.
See those 2 houses... mines the 1 in the middle.
From pembrokeshire but living in Barry 🏴
Caffled
That was great butty. You have a lovely accent. We moved from New Tredegar to Cheshire 10 years ago.
People love our accent here and we have a good laugh over some of the things we say.
Thank you for your video. I'm Welsh, born and bred now living in the US. Firstly, your English is fantastic. I would never have guessed that English isn't your first language. Secondly, I still use a lot of these sayings! My mother used to use the word "cwtch" when tucking us kids in bed at night. I still say it! Thank you again.
I'm English but grew up in the valleys and felt nostalgic listening to your list. One you missed: "where's Jane to?" instead of just "where's Jane".
Your accent drops in and out with bits of Welsh!
Im from Bristol and from my window i can see the water and Wales! Alot of words the welsh use, us Bristolians use as well. I can confirm that we say whos coat is that jacket, and also "Its over by there. Tbh Ysis hearing you mention those sayings is weird as i never knew how silly they sounded.
So whilst i was there feeling stupid for saying those things i notice you had made a spelling mistake! Its who's not whose! (I wouldn't have said anything but have never heard of whose before) so i looked it up and found out that im the one in the wrong! And i feel even stupider haha.
Lastly, i have now watched your whole video and I'm surprised to say we don't in fact use as many of the same words as i thought we would haha. I was horrified at what a Cwtch was gonna be.
I am only half Welsh and lived most of my life in South Africa. Most of the examples that are given make perfect sense to me. My father was born in Johnstown, Wrexham.
3:56 yesssssss😂
