No need to be disheartened!

To keep with the aviation theme I flew through your writings. Enjoyed reading it very much. Thanks for posting!

Now if you'll excuse me, rhaid i fi hefan! (not sure if that's an idiom that translates directly or if it even makes sense, lol!)

[Lostforwords]

Flit into Maes Awyr Abertawe sometime -- I'll wibble at you in wibbly Welsh ;-)

Or I'll flit there when I'm 'remounted' -- Where are you flying out of these days?

Maes Awyr Abertawe sometime?? Let's hope Keef is going to have a word with his "boss" soon.
Still based at WW. Yes, do come over - ideal weather for IMC training - no foggles required at the mo.

At some stage we will release a "Say Something in ... whatever language that is that you're speaking...!"

What's "chocks away" in Welsh

It's a southwalian "sometime" could be anytime this year -- like "now in a minute..." ;-)

Must snag Keef to practise Welsh on at next fly in too...

Isn't it rotten! I doubt I could get from the apron to the runway without GPS at the moment...

PPLese ;)

What's "chocks away" in Welsh

Um. Bant â 'r tsiocs... ?

(Well I made that last word up... "plociau" says Google...)

[llanfairfach]

Wow, I'm quite amazed at how much I managed to understand and work out .

But I am a bit confused how "gwaith" which I know as "work," becomes "times" in:

"Dw i wedi bod sawl gwaith i Gaernarfon."

I know it's because it follows "sawl," but I don't get it .

[JonSais]

If you check a dictionary you'll see that gwaith can mean work or time. The context will give you the clue as to whichone someone is referring to.

Aha - you haven't done the vocabulary lessons, Llanfairfach!

As Jon says, it's just one of those things, but do the vocab lesson for feminine numbers, and it will rapidly become "one of those things that you just use naturally".

[Soap Distant]

Is there a clear distinction between 'gwaith' and 'tro', because 'tro' can also mean 'time' or 'occasion', can't it? 'Bydda i'n dy weld di tro nesa', and all that.
