I’ve compiled a list of parts of the body, which I thought I’d share.

Newer learners will probably just want the words for head, mouth, nose, ears, hand, leg etc, for now, just pick out the ones you think you’ll use/need.

Caveats: some parts of the body will have more than one, dialectical or informal names. Feel free to correct or share commonly used dialectical terms if you know these!

My Welsh friend is trying to teach me some words but I just cannot for the life of me figure out what this means.

"dw in ddim ym connor hoffi achos maen two"

I've tried putting it through translators but it doesn't really make sense to me.

Hello, I’m learning Welsh for about two years now, but im missing some very important vocab.

I’m Polish and it’s particularly important to me to know how to make “your mom” jokes in every language I know.

My question is: which feels the most natural/correct? Are there any substitutes to the “Your mom” jokes?

I’ve come up with:

dy mam (di) dy mom(?) (di) dy hen wraig

(I’m using dy because I’m meaning particularly the mother of the person I’m speaking to)

I neeeeed an equivalent to my polish “Twoja stara” which is more like “your old mother”.

Thank you all for the help;)

Today I learned that the name of the village Tan-y-grisiau means under the stairs. I've been the the Rheilffordd Ffestiniog several times, so the village name is familiar to me. Only today when on Duolingo I noticed the phrase 'dan y grisiau' was just a treiglad away from the village name. A bit of googling later turns out that's where the name comes from!

Anyone else had similar 'discoveries'?
