    Cai Maes Sais

    Welsh nationalists' "Anti-English" attack hurts horse... owned by woman from Cardiff

    By the way, unless my rudimentary Cymraeg is failing me, the graffiti (see thread title) is mis-spelt anyway.

    Shades of 'COWE GONNA BE CHOPPS' in more ways than one.

    My first language is Welsh, and I have absoloutley no idea what 'Cae Maes Sais' means. The only word that makes sense is Sais - English/Englander.

      See, that's the bit I thought must be wrong, because 'saesneg' = 'English', no? With an 'e', not an 'i'.

        Saesneg is the English Language. Sais is a person from England.

        Lloegr is the word for England.

          The on-line Welsh translator has it as "He shuts Field Saxon".

          I suppose they meant "shut the gate after you on the way out" or something?

            Cae is field. Maes on the other hand? Hmmm, 'Mas' is Southern Slang for 'out', but it still makes no sense.
