Shwmae!

Dw i ond wedi bod yn dysgu Cymraeg ers cwpl o fisoedd, felly os oes problemau gyda'r brawddegau 'ma, cywirwch fi os gwelwch chi'n dda.

Dw i wedi clywed bod rhai siaradwyr Cymraeg ddim yn hoffi pobl eraill yn dysgu Cymraeg. Ydy hynny'n wir? Dw i wedi clywed y farn 'ma o siaradwyr ieithoedd leiafrifol eraill hefyd.

Pam dydy siaradwyr Cymraeg ddim eisiau i bobl eraill ddysgu eu hiaith nhw? Ydy'r farn 'ma gan bob preswylydd yng Nghymru, hyd yn oed ymhlith pobl sydd ddim yn medru siarad Cymraeg? Beth dych chi'n meddwl am hwn?

Hello, all. I was wondering if someone might take a look over two OE translations of Latin orations that I composed. I am trying to improve my ability to produce grammatically sound OE.

Hello everyone / wesaþ ge hale on þissum dæge,

I’ve encountered a few ways to express that someone makes someone/something do something in Old English. 

For verbs: [finite form of “don”] + [accusative object] + [infinitive verb]

“For þam, ic dyde þe on mysnter gan, þæt þu mihte leornian middangeardlice lare and halige.”

“And þæt þe he geseah dyde hine swiþe forhtian.”

For adjectives: [finite form of “don”] + [accusative object] + [adjective]

“Me licaþ se snaw for þam þe he deþ þa burg stille.”

However, while reading Osweald Bera, I also encountered this sentence, which seems to break the paradigm to express a causative construction (chapter 18, line 93): “Do þone beran þæt

Hello everyone / wesaþ ge hale on þissum dæge!

I am writing to let you know about the ŌSWEALD BŌC-CLUB discord server founded by u/ChucktheDuckCatcher so that readers of Colin Gorrie’s “Ōsweald Bera” could share recordings of the chapters, practice asking and responding to discussion questions, and clarify any tricky grammar or vocabulary in the readings.

For the past two weekends, we’ve met at 8:30 AM PST on Sunday to read piecemeal through two chapters of Ōsweald Bera, during which we also ask each other reading comprehension/discussion questions (even beyond those printed at the end of each chapter!) and practice speaking Old English off the cuff as much as is comfortable. Each session

Hello all,

In brief, I am wondering if Old English "r" was ever retroflexed in front of consonants, especially dental consonants "t, d, n, l, s," and maybe also "h."

I was reading Osweald Bera aloud for practice, and I found that I was naturally retroflexing some preconsonantal Rs, as in:

"Æfter fierste...."

"on þissum middangearde."

"þæs munuces wordum."

"Hagol biþ hwitost corna..."

"Me þyncþ þæt he us forlete."

I was even retroflexing Rs before Hs in situations like:

"Osweald awacaþ forht," "Ne forhtodon hie Osweald..."

(But perhaps this is just because the "h" is followed by "t"?)

Full disclosure, Swedish was the first language that I ever learned

Hi everyone,

I've been having a bit of trouble with the Matriarch recently, and I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience.

When I record from the Matriarch's stereo outputs, I am picking up some level of static-ky, noisy feedback before I begin playing. Usually, I hook the two Matriarch outputs into an Arturia Minifuse 2 for recording into audacity or ableton, but I've also tried going directly into my desktop's microphone-in jack to no avail. I've also tried passing the Matriarch's audio through dark star pedal as well, to try and rule out the problem being with the Minifuse or the Dark Star pedal. The interference is also present in both audacity and ableton.

When I li

Hej allisammans,

Idag tänkte jag samla ihop några så kallade fejkvänner som jag stött på inom mina språkstudier. Orden påpekas ur typisk amerikansk andraspråkstalares synpunkt. Syftet med inlägget är att varna andra som lär sig svenska och har engelska som modermål, och att återspegla för svenskar vilka ord kan vara särskilt knepiga för andraspråkstalare när de lär sig språket. En till bonus är att fejkvänner kan låta rätt roligt hörda från varandras perspektiv. 

Eventuellt - möjligt

Eventually - så småningom, under tidens lopp

Vrist - leden mellan fot och underben; ankel

Wrist - handleden

Familjär - intim, förtrolig

Familiar - bekant, känd, van

Konsekvent - följdriktig, d.v.s. *cons

Hello all,

I was hoping to draw on some of your experience expanding the workflow of the OG OP-1. 

I really enjoy the four–track tape editing workflow of the OP-1. I find that the ability to cut, copy, paste, and trim each track is all I need to start assembling the foundations for a new piece (plus some overdubbing, usually). However, while working with the OP-1, I still find myself thinking “It would be so much more quick/easy/powerful if I could…” on a few points. 

1. I have an effects pedal that I like to pair with the OP-1. I struggle to find a way to put the OP-1 audio through the pedal and record that back to tape. I’ve tried passing the OP-1 audio out to the pedal, and then passin

Hello all,

My college’s medieval readings night is quickly approaching. I selected a few passages from a manuscript that I’ve been transcribing from the library’s special collection. However, because I hope to read Latin this year, I feel very self-conscious about the quality of the Latin in front of a room of bonafide Latinists. 

I was wondering if anyone would be able to spare a glance at my transcription and point out any errors that I missed. I am actually a microbiologist; while I’m extremely interested in Latin and medieval studies, I don’t have any academic connections/peers at the school to ask for some proof-reading. This further contributes to my nervousness about reading some La
