"Prynhawn da Dewi Lingo"

Translation: Good afternoon Dewi Lingo

[brjaga]

Is "Dewi" a common Welsh name, or is this just a close approximation of "Duo Lingo"?

[azalea28]

Dewi is the Welsh equivalent of David, though I think it's just a cute Welsh pun on 'Duo' here

[jarrettph]

Interestingly Duolingo is an accepted translation.

[Erchenswine]

Duolingo is not an accepted translation

[sebtred]

It wasn't for me

[jarrettph]

Weird must be an A/B test of some sort.

[JohnVoltage819]

Must be a relative of Mr. Lingo.

[BlueberryIceTea]

Mr. Dewi Lingo?

[JohnVoltage819]

Yea!

[RyanOkushi]

Yes, and they seem to keep talking to themselves.

[mizinamo]

I'm told that Mr Lingo is Dewi Lingo's father.

[FaizalZahid]

It would be cute if Duo has a short story...just like Candy Crush Saga...or any game with a background story... :D

[FaizalZahid]

This is kinda funny because Dewi in my language is like a goddess/fairy or sth... :)

[RyanOkushi]

What language?

[FaizalZahid]

Malay! :D

[RyanOkushi]

Oh, nice...

I've been to Malaysia before.

[FaizalZahid]

Are you Japanese?

[RyanOkushi]

How can you tell? (Actually, I'm not Japanese. I'm a half Japanese half American that looks Asian.)

Is the strong emphasis on 'da' in the speech real, or is it an artifact of TTS?

[shwmae]

"Da" is the most emphatic syllable in the phrase "Prynhawn da", yes. The TTS is does sound a little robotic though.

[Ettoleseil]

Dewi also means goddess or beautiful woman in Indonesian and goddess in Balinese
