mogling Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 We have some lovely wirds that describe something perfectly in one word, what it would take several to convey in English, for example- Spaegie - the sore, stiff muscle pain you get the day after physical exertion of a type you are not used to. Fulskit - exuberant playfulness eg of lambs when they spring off a promontory with all 4 feet at once whilst doing a spinal twist in mid-air. There's loads more, but I canna think of any at the moment - can anyone mind any more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGHR Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I was wondering about 'traaket', as in 'da tae is hardly traaket yit' I suppose it means brewed, but as far as I know it can only ever be applied to tea. If you set a brew for example I don't think you leave him to traak, or do you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
