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
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
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.
