Du Jèrriais siez BBC Jèrri

Here is a list of the phrases we covered in this week's little Jèrriais lesson on BBC Jersey (Monday after 6pm - note new time). We revised weather vocab from last week and added these new phrases:

• i' vente à êcôner un boeu = it's very windy (it's blowing to dehorn a bull)
• i' bliâse = it's foggy/misty
• d'la bliâse brousseuse = drizzly fog
• eune bliâse à coper au couté = fog you could cut with a knife
• aller sept noeuds dans la bliâse = go like the clappers (seven knots in the fog)
• j'sis dans la bliâse = I haven't the foggiest
• il en dêtchèrque = it's chucking it down
• lé solé lit = the sun's shining
• i' fait fraid = it's cold
• l'aube gélée = frost
