What do you call someone who speaks three languages ? Trilingual
What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual

What do you call someone who speaks one language?



English!

In for a penny, in for a pound.

3 GOOD REASONS FOR BEING WELSH:

1. If you are a woman it is not far to cross the border where you can find a real man
2. If you are a man it is not far to find a sheep
3. If you are Welsh speaking (approximately 1 in 6 of the population so the rest must be English) there is no need to speak English as there is a quaint habit of making up words e.g.
Dim bikio = No cycling/biking
Dim parcio = No ........... Thats right , No parking
Dim scipio. Probably doesn't exist but wouldn't bet on it.
Dim sexio What I will suffer if my wife reads this posting (see below)


Why are the words 'ar werth' invariably accompanied by the English words of the same meaning. Easy because they mean 'for sale' and they want your money.


My darling wife is Welsh.
Our daughters, bless them, if no good at sport can still play at international level .......... for Wales.

lol :lol: :lol: :lol: Very funny...

If your wife is Welsh, you should realise that at 2pm (as your first reply was)
your message should have started with "prynhawn da" :)

So you had to marry a Welsh lady to get a REAL woman I see.....

Ar Werth is followed by For Sale because if we don't translate, the English automatically think we are talking about them, like when they go into a pub and everyone turns to Welsh because we all speak English together usually
(ask your wife) funny they don't think the same in other countries :?
