The weather today was very windy; windy, wet and cold. It was not an appropriate day for going out in the garden or in the countryside. I read CornwallLive. Trees were blown down on several roads. However, the grandchildren were not deterred. They ran around in the garden like lunatics!

For those indoors, here's more lesson!

Building up our Cornish language. Part 14a

Cressya emann agan tavas Kernowek Radn 14a

In Part 10b (5th March) we looked at the use of the personal pronoun, after the  noun, to indicate ownership, e.g. 

an kei vy my dog (the dog I) 
an lever chy thy book (the book thee) 
an pel ev his ball (the ball he) 
an côta hei her coat (the coat she) 
an alwhedhow nei our keys (the keys we) 
an mòna whei your money (the money you) 
an taclow anjei their things (the things they) 

The only mutation (initial consonant change) you may need to  worry about using this method is if a feminine singular noun or human  masculine plural noun follows the definite article. 

There are, however, proper possessive adjectives you can use:

ow my 
dha thy 
y his 
hy her 
agan our 
agas your 
aga their 

So  
an kei vy my dog > ow hei
an lever chy thy book > dha lever 
an pel ev his ball > y bel 
an côta hei her coat > hy hôta 
an alwhedhow nei our keys > agan alwhedhow 
an mòna whei your money > agas mòna 
an taclow anjei their things > aga thaclow 

I will explain unfamiliar mutations tomorrow.
