I have been thinking a bout learning Cornish but it is a very funny language to speak.

Just to say "Welcome To Bumpstart Mini Club" is a nightmare

Welcome is easy "Dynargh" and To is also easy "dhe" But Bumpstart Mini Club is a nigthmare.
Split Bumpstart to Bump Start you get "Bonk" for Bump and "Dalleth" for start.
No Mini in Cornish so you can use Car Which is "Car" in Cornish (does that mean we invented the word car and so car is a Cornish word.) Playing with Mini you can get "Gwysca" Dress or "Losten" for Skirt. I chose "Car" because I dont wont to belong to a Dress/Skirt Club.
But hey no word for Club in Cornish (that I can find) so I picked on Group which is "Bagas"
So to say "Welcome to Bumpstart Mini Club" you will have to say "Dynargh dhe Bonkdalleth Car Bagas"

And to say Bigideas in Cornish is just as strange.
Slip Bigideas to Big Ideas. Big in Cornish is "Bras" and hey no Ideas in Cornish. So the closest I can find for Ideas is Thought.
But hey a problem with Thought. In Cornish you can say Thought in two ways "Preder or Tybys". (I dont know why you can say Thoughts in two ways in Cornish)
So Bigideas can be "Braspreder or Brastybys"

If any one wants something translated in to Cornish I'm your man.

Hope to see you soon from Bigideas.

Or should i say Gwaytya dhe gweles ty whare dyworth Braspreder or Gwaytya dhe gweles ty whare dyworth Brastybys

Easy You dont say "I am Phoebes mum" You have to say "Mother to Phoebe" which in Cornish is "Mam dhe Phoebe" unless you feel you are Mother to more then one ie your animals as well then its "Mammow" even if your talking about being Mother to one. So you will have to say "Mammow dhe Phoebe"
