Irish Translation Forum

hello,

could someone help me translating "mawr yw'r wydden'ma" ? What is the link with "meur eo ar wezenn-mañ" ?

Thank you very much in advance,

Paul, a french breton....who does not speak breton !!

Er...neither is Irish. The first, I think, may be Welsh. It's possible the second is Breton. Irish comes from a completely different branch of the Celtic language family.

Big is this tree (in Welsh and Breton) meur as in mór

The second one is surely Breton. The first one is indeed probably Welsh, although it might as well be the revived Cornish language. Anyways, to me it seems like the two sentences might mean the same thing. But I am not sure about that, and I cannot help you further. Sorry.

The first is definitely Welsh...which Franc confirmed in the post just before yours.

And that's an emphatic sentence as well because of the way it's written. So the writer really wanted to emphasize how big that tree is.
