  Yakkie-dah = hello; good morning/day; yes; correct; goodbye Boy-o = boy Ma-fan-way = girl Cmyru-way = motorway Cmyru-shypi = shop Cmyru-foni = phone Cymru-nana = banana Llllllgoogllgoogll-y-cymrnllllll = the/a/I/you/we/us/him/her/them/up/down/this/that/those

  Now you can speak Welsh or, should I say, Yakkie-Cymru.
