Diolch yn mawr

Welsh
#1

I know the standard teaching is ‘Diolch yn Fawr’ but some first language Welsh speakers (usually older) seem to use ‘Diolch yn mawr’, often almost as one long word - ‘diolchymmawr’.

I guess one of the most interesting (and often loveliest) things meeting people who did not learn a language at school, but just by listening and speaking it’s this: they just say what they know and don’t care about rules! :smile:
And very often they come up with very peculiar words and solutions! :star_struck: :heart_eyes:
