Ewa termyn dhe bedery dro dhe'n hav? Ma hav ow tos. Whei a vedn mos dhe'n treth (dres lycklod).
Is it time to think about the summer? Summer is coming. You will go to the beach (probably)

You need to know the words for all the stuff we take to the beach (and take home again).

Beach gear is daffar treth.

When it comes to shopping for beach gear, we can say:

We went to the beach shop and bought ...

Nei eth dhe'n shoppa treth ha perna ..

bucket	pal	astel-corfplaynya or bodybord
gwelen-roos	pel treth	baner bian
sarf neyja	towel treth	gwedrow lagajek
gwedrow howl	hott howl	dehen howl

If you want to say you have something you can use:

Ma dhebm ... or Ma dhe vy … I have ...

Ma dhen ... or Ma dhe nei … We have …

e.g. Ma dhebm daffar treth. I have beach gear.

e.g. Ma dhen towel treth brâs. We have a big beach towel.

The word for already is solabres:

e.g. Ma dhebm hott howl solabres. I have a sun hat already.

e.g. Ma dhen pel treth solabres. We have a beach ball already.

If you want to emphasise what you have, put it early in your sentence:

e.g. Ma sarf neyja dhebm. I have a kite.

e.g. Ma bodybordys dhen. We have bodyboards.

If you want to emphasise who has something use the longer version.

e.g. Ma bucket dhe vy. I have a bucket.

e.g. Ma pal dhe nei. We have a spade.

How do you ask if the shop has something? Use eus?

e.g. Pejy, eus gwedrow howl? Please, are there any sunglasses?

e.g. Eus dehen howl, mar pleg? Is there any sun cream, please?

e.g. Eus gwelen-roos dhe whei? Do you have a fishing net?

And if the shelves are empty!

Nag eus daffar treth moy. There is no more beach gear.

We have seen the stuff we use at the beach. Now let's look at the things we do there. It's time to learn some more words we can use in the summer.

Rather like the game “I went to market and bought ...” you can start a sentence with “We went to the beach and ...”

Nei eth dhe'n treth ha ..

derevel castilly treth	neyja e'n mor	cafel cregyn mor
peskecha en poll	cacha canker	morplaynya
neyja sarf neyja	cuntel gòbmon	crambla carrigy
omhowla	debry dehen rew	eva sugen frût

Let's look at some beach-related questions and answers:

To ask if there is something:

Eus … ? Is there … ?

Eus bucket? Is there a bucket?

Eus pal? Is there a spade?

Eus bucket rüdh ha pal melyn?

Is there a red bucket and a yellow spade?

Nag eus. No. There isn't.

Ma bucket melyn ha pal rüdh.

There's a yellow bucket and a red spade.

To ask where something is:

Pe le ma … ? Where is … ?

Pe le ma an bucket melyn? Where is the yellow bucket?

Ma va reb an mor. It is by the sea.

Ma va war an treth. It is on the beach (sand).

Pe le ma an pal rüdh? Where is the red spade?

Ma va dadn an treth. It is under the sand.

If someone asks where you are:

Pe le thesta? Where are you?

Pleth esta? Where are you?

Pe le thero whei? Where are you? (more than one person)

Thera vy war an treth. I am on the beach.

Thera nei reb an mor. We are by the sea.

Here are the words that tell us positions.

dadn under

reb by, beside

war on

Eus enevales e'n mor? Are there animals in the sea?

Entei! Ma lies mil. Certainly! There are lots of animals.

Ma lies godhvil. There are lots of wild animals.

Ma bestes brâs ha bestes münys. 

                         There are big animals and tiny animals.
