What's Welsh for "now in a minute?"

Welsh General / Questions

I wonder in the case of Welsh schools year’s ago (and I’ve heard the same thing) if it was a case of different vocabulary. If I landed in the village I grew up in, spouting on about " a deficiency in part of the internal combustion system" - when the normal lingo might be “the engines knackered”, then I would be regarded as posh.

I wonder if it was more a case of being a bit too good and not having a more basic register to go with it.

Dwi ddim yn siwr am be’ dwi’n going to say next ond mae’n actually quite haws i slippio between the dwy iaith mid brawddeg os ti’n rhugl in both.

But it is also possible to apply “Welsh thinking” to English words - and vice-versa. “Now in a minute” may be a case of this.
