Here are a few local Welsh sayings.
Where You To?
This is one of the most confusing things Welsh people say. All we’re asking is where you are but ‘where you to’ is ingrained in our vocabulary that we wouldn’t ask ‘where are you?’, It’s always ‘where you to?’.
You Are
If someone asks me to pass them something, I’ll hand it to them and say ‘you are’. This may sound alien to you if you’re not from South Wales but trust me, everyone says this when they pass an item or offer something to someone else.
The Word At The Beginning Is The Same At The End
If you’re ever in conversation with someone from Wales, don’t be alarmed when we say ‘I am’ or ‘that is’ or ‘me’ at the end of our sentence. Some examples:
That’s lush that is
I’m starving me
I’m going down the pub I am
It’s raining it is
I’ll Be There Now In A Minute, much used in my house. 
Anytime you hear the Welsh phrase ‘I’ll be there now in a minute’ or ‘I’m leaving now in a minute’ or ‘I’ll do that now in a minute’ it’s like second nature to people in Wales. Everyone where I’m from knows this saying and wouldn’t bat an eyelid.
I’m Not Being Funny
Lots of sayings from South Wales are ways we start our conversations and ‘I’m not being funny’ is a prime example. It’s a sentence we use that introduces an important opinion. It emphasises that what we’re about to say is serious.
