[RebbelReb]

Time travel is fun!

[MrComedysongs]

you dont sound very welsh nad ydych yn gadarn iawn cymraeg

[MrComedysongs]

nid yn dref ei fod yn bentref

[SALVOTHESTONEDONE]

FOUND IT XD

[JustMarleeYo]

Be looking for my video response soon!

[shirazbailywood]

I went there when i was like...4 XD

[MaRiisTheBeast]

It sounds so pretty but its so darn long.....that's not what she said...

[PwnNoobs4Ever]

nice hair fag

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@PwnNoobs4Ever

I dont have a hair fag.

[dragonlord5665]

@PwnNoobs4Ever fuck off c:

[DeadEndDoll94]

YAY! I went here when i went to Wales :)

Sure i was only about 13 but it still counts!

Also you have so much beard in this video ;)

[stereosrocks]

sothenameisbasicallywritinglik­ethis?

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@stereosrocks

Most names are like that. If you think of places such as Portsmouth... it's Port's Mouth.

But yeah, the name is LLan Fair Pwll Gwyn Gyll Gogerych Wyn Drobwll Llan Tisiliog O Ogof Goch

[jparekh97]

Mudkip for the win.

[Cbax2]

I'm gonna learn this if it kills me..and it very well may...:) Thanks for the lesson! Im practicing!

[sarahedwards2]

@TheGearsKeepTurning I'm part Welsh myself and I couldn't pronounce it until I stumbled upon this video! (P.S. If I have kids, I'm going to name my daughter Katrine, which is the Welsh form of Catherine. I think it's pronounced Cat-trin. Am I right?)

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@sarahedwards2

There's no K in welsh. What you've written is cat-rye-n

Welsh is Catrin.

[monequu]

@sarahedwards2 I know this comment is very old, but Katrine is a norwegian form of Catherine :-)

[sianofano]

wohooo! go cymru!

[TehTreeLion]

Remember meh? lolilikecaek

[peasinacan]

...this name is unnessesarily long

[apagoreumenosaris]

is that a pokemon in the background? lol

[Aerials2005ca]

i know all about university, im doing my culinary arts course, so i know all about the ass kicking lol.

[Aerials2005ca]

im just buggin ya dude, i thought it was funny you'd say it though lol. ohhh just wanted to say your GTFO of my pub was totally awesome :D keep makin the good videos dude

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@Aerials2005ca

Oh I knew you were. Trolls don't tend to be as polite as you. lol.

Thanks, I enjoyed doing it, and was quite shocked when Jory picked it up and linked it. I hope it did inspire him to do more GTFOs.

New videos will be coming soon. University is kicking my ass at the moment.

[TheCuber2400]

The longest place name in the world is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauot­amateaturipukakapikimaungahoro­nukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu. It is Māori. Can you pronounce that?

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@TheCuber2400

Of course I can. What do you take me for? A Canadian?

#JustKiddingCanadiansKnowILove­Them

[Aerials2005ca]

@TheGearsKeepTurning hey!!!!! lol im canadian why rippin on us? LOL

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@Aerials2005ca

I actually have a canadian flagged pinned up by my bed.

I love Cañada.

[PhoenixInLove]

Umm, yeah, I cannot even fathom making those sounds so I'll spare you the horror... = ]

[misskitty48]

Yay! I was wondering where I could find the video response for the town's pronunciation. I actually found you from Jory's pumpkin video, which directed me to YOUR pumpkin video. I then visited your channel and found this. I feel accomplished. 8D

And I have to say, your English is excellent (both speaking and writing) for it being your second language. Keep it up. =)

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@misskitty48

My english should be excellent it's more frequently used in Wales than Welsh lol. And my parents don't speak much Welsh. Only 20% of Wales speaks Welsh lol. I went though Welsh education system rather than English

It's kinda funny I'm being complimented on my English lol.

[EelcoVlogging]

cool vid! btw did I just see a cube fail there? 1 line red?

[Piggie822]

It's funny that some of those sounds sound like a someone with a speech impediment. I wonder what someone who is welsh sounds like when they have a speech impediment. O.o

[Aerials2005ca]

dude, this is incredibly long and extremely hard to say but my grandfather is from the uk and he's tried to teach me lol i spent 5 hours tryin and almost there.

keep makin some sweet vids :)

[nalts]

See you've got "it," so don't stop, man. You give great camera, you seem very sincere, and you have really, really interesting walls.

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@nalts

My walls do have a lot of crap glued on =]

[LoLoGirl404]

WOW What a name? Like srsly how long does it take someone who lives there to give his address to someone else? lol

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@LoLoGirl404

Most people call it Llanfairpwll or Llanfair

But in the UK, we write post codes, so even if you get the town wrong etc. the postman knows the post area code.

[LoLoGirl404]

@TheGearsKeepTurning Oh ok =D

oh and btw your hair is totally awesome =]

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@LoLoGirl404

Thank you =] I thought long and hard before I decided to let everyone on twitter decide my new hair colour. lmao.

[enoyingcheekyfran]

i checked out ur channel and realised you remind me of charlie is so cool like he has a wall of stuff, a wall of train tickets, loves doctor who and has died his hair red but has a friend that died his blue

[Starryish]

llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwy­rndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch

so easy, i could say this when i was like 4.

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@Starryish

Pfft. It was my first word.

>1

[workingonthis1]

Can you write it phoneticaly?? (In english obvsly)

[Starryish]

@workingonthis1 Most Welsh words are spelt phonetically anyway!

Llan-vah-eer-pwll-gwin-gill-go­g-err-ig-chwirn-droh-bwll-llan­t-uh-sili-oh-goh-goh-goch. i probably got a part of it wrong but yanoo.

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@workingonthis1

It is written phonetically. Our language doesn't have letters that change sound every other word like english lol. It's written how it should be said.

[TheRydog100]

@TheGearsKeepTurning Hey I have some hints on how to get more views. First, shorten the title of the video, long titles aren't attractive also less exclamation points. So instead of

"Gears:// LONGEST TOWN NAME... EVAR!!! (LLanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerych.­..)" It would be just "LONGEST TOWN NAME EVER!" Just a hint.

[TheRydog100]

@TheGearsKeepTurning Also clear off either your wall our your shelf for contrast (People usually like the right clean and the left messy but it do sent matter that much either way) And move your camera back and move up so that you are farther away from the wall. Again, you don't "Have" to, its just a suggestion

[Aerials2005ca]

OMG!!! this is really hard to pronounce lol it's incredible but also research the history of the welsh langauge, it's amazing :)

thank you for the vid dude, it's awesome.

[AVeryIronicGoose]

I've been there!

[suse8138]

It might take me a while to practice, but I accept the challenge!

I will post a video of me saying this...

...once I've worked out how to say it.

[footynutguy]

Right, thats a challenge I will accept although I think it will take me a long time. Expect a video response in about a year.

[CheekTV]

wikipedia is our friend = truFACTS

[lunatunarox]

....foreign languages are hot.

[MrDavetheman]

that was easy for me because its like irish .... btw do you say the whole name when talking 2 some1 or is there another way to say it ?

[RanzhaTheLoneVlogger]

@MrDavetheman Either Llanfairpwllgwyngyll or Llanfair PG.

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@MrDavetheman

You never really say the full thing, most people say LLanfair or LLanfairpwll.

[MrDavetheman]

that was easy for me because its like irish

[fisbro]

it sounds like ur tong is swollen when u say that word. lol I know i cant even say that ill butcher it.

[enigmaticbleu]

Ahhhhh, this is awesome. I bought the exact same postcard in Cardiff and was wondering how the word was pronounced. Ha Ha. Thank you so much!

[ZomgMattRangel]

I've never heard Welsh being spoken before. Holy shit, plz make a video all in Welsh, I'm fascinated.

[Podling23]

My Dad made me memorise that when I was little, I only ever remember the llan-tisiliog-ogo-go-goch bit though. He also tried to make me memorise the periodic table but I rebelled after the first 20... And now in utter inaccuracy my brain keeps rebelling and I think raxacoricofallapatorius instead...

[Dagyo23]

You have one of the most punchable faces on youtube.

Also your videos are terrible.

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@Dagyo23

Punchable by guys, kissable by women. I'd take that.

Also, I make money off of my videos, google must like them. And I'll take the opinion of a multi-billion dollar company over some troll any day of the week ;-)

[Dagyo23]

@TheGearsKeepTurning You insufferable twat. Getting bennys from some evil corporation like google means nothing.

This isn't over you twerp.

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@Dagyo23

I'm insufferable? Because I'm content with my looks?

How are google evil? They do plenty of charity work and offer huge platforms for many people to make money (through their websites, their art and videos)

And google like my content enough to make me a partner.

And also, 2300+ people disagree with you.

Oh, wow. Twerp. Golly-jee mister, you sure do come from the 1960s.

And what do I have to fear? More 'insults'. You suck,

[PtchewPtchewPtchew]

I live in one of two (?*) cities that begin with "The".

But that oddity doesn't quite compete...

[luckyleprachaun7]

@TheGearsKeepTurning Just wondering because in the intro to that show for season one you can see that gear on a hat and other places. If you wanna see just write (on youtube) MST3K Season One Intro and at the start you can see it.

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@luckyleprachaun7

This account is suspended.

Not anymore you can't.

[Celshonar]

I think my brain just exploded.

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@Celshonar

EXPLOSION!

And it's a Wednesday! Awesome. Awesome.

Sorry, though lol.

[Celshonar]

@TheGearsKeepTurning

Can you say supercalifragilisticexpialidoc­ious backwards? :D

[esweetiepi92]

I tried and failed miserably. Maybe after like, three weeks I'll be close. haha

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@esweetiepi92

lol, don't be so hard on yourself, keep trying :)

[esweetiepi92]

@TheGearsKeepTurning It's not just this, I have trouble with all languages. That's why my German teacher gets so frustrated with my. xD but I think I'm starting to get it.

[Hydrantchan]

You know, I've always wondered how to pronounce that name.

Much appreciated! :D

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@Hydrantchan

You're very welcome! :)

[TheHolapino]

talks like blunty 3000

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@TheHolapino

I talk like me lol, except with less of an accent.

[jbdazen]

Ok I seriously can't pronounce that LL letter. Lots of flem, not the disered sound :P

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@jbdazen

lol. :D

It's something many people from germanic languages can't do.

[FatalAddictionx]

Every time I try to say it.. I end up going "BLAH BLAH BLAHEWMKTJIQ3OJ" because I literally have issues with different languages.. even if I'm good at French.

[Titowam]

I love your wall... with the mudkip.. rofl

[ThePuzzler96]

LL... LLid the LLloth (sid the sloth)

Ghost Hand 3x3? Looks like it :P

[luckyleprachaun7]

@TheGearsKeepTurning Gears were did you get that picture of that G in the corner, was it from MST3K?

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@luckyleprachaun7

Ummm, my logo was made by me and my friend Justin. It's completely original lmao.

[DigitalCable]

Washington has a lot of strange names as well, like Chimacum, Skamokawa, Steilacoom, Nooksack and Issaquah just to name a few. But nothing as impressive as Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwy­rndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch though! It's still funny to hear out of towners attempt saying them :)

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@DigitalCable

Yeah, well come to Wales. I'll be ROFLing down the road.

[luckyleprachaun7]

@BarryAldridge Oh, hey it's Barry.

[Dinomy199185]

that was really cool. i find hearing things in welsh facinating! you should put more welsh in your videos!

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@Dinomy199185

I'm doing a Welsh language vlog soon, with english subtitles.

[Dinomy199185]

@TheGearsKeepTurning actually, that sounds really cool, i cant wait to see it!

[trvlbuggy]

excellent... although, I can't even attempt to pronounce the name. I may give it a go later...when no one is watching or listening. :)  thanks for the vid and the lesson.

[BarryAldridge]

Your really growing your beard a lot mate.

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@BarryAldridge

I am, aren't I? lol.

How does it look?

[BarryAldridge]

@TheGearsKeepTurning It suits you mate.

[HaiKatie]

I know how to say that name. yay for welsh people <3

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@HaiKatie

Prove it with a video response.

I've had old men say to me 'OH I CAN SAY IT, But i wont embarass you because you couldnt even start'

To which I reply 'My first language is Welsh. I wont be embarassed'

Then they get embarassed.

So I say, prove it.

[HaiKatie]

@TheGearsKeepTurning im not old :(

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@HaiKatie

lol. You're not old. But I ask to prove it all the same.

[TheDeadKeepRising]

lol Im Welsh and even I cant say that!

[TylerRosexD]

Bloody impossible for me to say :P Just so you know ;D

[MisplacedPirate]

I was doing pretty well until I got to the double L's. My mouth just decided that it is incapable of making that sound. But good video! I like learning stuff.

[EmilyRoseCullen123]

you said in your last video that you would explain why your hairs green...

whys your hair green?

[sarahhmackenziee]

wow.i cant even speak English right and i live in the US....thats too much

[lunatunarox]

...and you wonder why so few people speak this language.

[kamikazestrwbry]

i want your shirt xD

[regularguy5mb]

Oh yes, I'm definitely going to try this.

I'm also sending this video to my Linguistics professor since I'm about to go to that class right now.

School life mixes with personal life... WIN!

[flujible]

it sounds like you have a lisp when you talk welsh XD

[triplequeen]

You can solve a Rubik's Cube in less than one minute?

Damn some Youtubers are clever!

[Abijoyfulable]

<3 :)

[Jory]

I assume I'll say something like "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychw­yrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" when i have a heart attack...

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@Jory

It seems like that'd be the easiest way to say it if you didn't want to put the effort in. =P

[muffinlady18]

i tried. and failed.

story of my life.

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@muffinlady18

Awww don't say that! It could be so much worse, surely!

[2good24get]

you should teach more welsh :) I'll learn it just to look cool in front of my friends :D

[crimsong19]

Wow. That is ... long. ... That's what she said.

- Jason

[spiffydodan]

you should say a full sentence in welsh next!!

(:

[pat20105]

Well done! it's hard!

[Gullemullen]

lol so hard!

[renatosas]

thumbs up if you saw he didn't actually solve the rubiks cube

[TheGearsKeepTurning]

@renatosas

lol. I did actually solve it and I said the final line, with the solve. I just preferred how I said it in take two.

Im more than capable of solving the Rubik's cube in <1 minute.

[renatosas]

@TheGearsKeepTurning im just messing around cuty... ;)

[4davies8]

@TheGearsKeepTurning Video of you solving the cube then?

[ChloeSapienza]

I heard of this town! My mum went there on her camp trip to Wales when she was like 12 xD
