Today I learned welsh for sea, ocean, Pacific, Atlantic, North, and Mediterranean.

It seems like bodies of water are all Môr (sea) and cefnfor (ocean) is for nonspecific use like I swim in the ocean.

I will never remember Tawel, Canoldit, or Iwerydd, but I did find it interesting that for the Pacific Ocean, Môr Tawel, tawel translates to quiet, and for the Mediterranean, Môr y Canoldir, canoldir also translates as midland or inland. Duo didn't tell me either of those, I looked them up.

I am baffled, though. This unit is Countries, though I'd've called it geography since it covered continents and oceans as well as countries, but one of the sentences I got?

"Do you want new tights?"
