Make your romance more Manx this Valentine’s Day with a series of newly-created images available free online.
Culture Vannin have released a series of light-hearted images to help you express your feelings on the 14th of February by using some basic romantic Manx.
Perfect for use online, the images range from the Buggane demanding “Cur paag dou nish!” (Kiss me now!) to a posturing actor in a 1900s Manx play marked with “T’eh stoamey” (He’s gorgeous).
“Speaking Manx is fun,” says Adrian Cain, Manx Language Development Officer at Culture Vannin. “Even just a word or a phrase can remind us that we live somewhere special. Any day is a good day to start learning some Manx, so why not Valentine’s Day?”
The images are specifically created with social media sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in mind.
“For many of us, what we share on social media is a central part of who we are,” says James Franklin, Online and Educational Resources Officer at Culture Vannin. “We want to enable people to express themselves in a way uniquely Manx in all areas of their lives, including online.”
These images are available to download or share for free from the Culture Vannin website or Facebook sites.
