Glas o an mor hedhyw ha glas o an mor de. An keth ger ew en Kernôwek saw nag ew an liwyow kehaval. An geryow en Sowsnek ew deffrans. Heb bern ew morplaynyers – anjei a wra morplaynya piwa benag. Mygyl ew edhyn ewedh. Rag anjei boos ew môy dhe les. Ma anjei ow whilas tabm dhe dhebry en pub le. Radn anodhans ew heb own ha bold lowr. An hôk ma a sedhas war garrek ogas dhe nei de. Ha'n vran dre a dheuth ogas dhe'n glawjy bùss hedhyw.
The sea was grey today and the sea was blue yesterday. It's the same word in Cornish but the colours are not identical. The words in English are different. Surfers are indifferent – they surf anyway. Birds are indifferent as well. For them food is more interesting. They are looking for a bit to eat everywhere. Some of them are unafraid and quite bold. This hawk sat on a rock near us yesterday. And the rook came near the bus shelter today.
Deg ger rag hedhyw: Ten words for today
bold bold
bran dre (f) rook (bran = crow)
carrek (f) a rock
deffrans different
heb bern indifferent, unconcerned
heb own unafraid
hôk (m) a hawk
Several words are interchangeable,
keth, kethsam, kesam, kehaval, haval, pecar
meaning same, like, identical, similar, etc.
mygyl indifferent (literally luke warm)
piwa benag anyway, in any case, whatever
