Welsh Wonder – Rhyfeddod Cymraeg

Do you speak Cymraeg, or are you just trying to dysgu the language? What ever your needs may be, the Geiriadur Cymraeg Cyfoes is a must have.

OUP publishes the Modern Welsh Dictionary (Geiriadur Cymraeg Cyfoes) this month, a dictionary for all Welsh (Cymraeg) speakers, or students trying to learn (dysgu) the language. Illustrated with examples drawn from real speech and writing, the Geiriadur Cymraeg Cyfoes is for the growing number of Welsh speakers in all walks of life, from school to the office.

The dictionary includes useful appendices, such as the names of countries, regions, and languages, and terms used within the National Assembly (Cynulliad Cenedlaethol). Any of the 20,000 words and phrases, or 30,000 translations, can be found quickly and easily thanks to the clear and practical layout of the dictionary, with extra helps through the usage notes for the trickier aspects of the language.

Native Welsh speakers will also find the Modern Welsh Dictionary a useful resource to clarify questions of vocabulary, grammar and usage. You won't need to resort to English to say that you are sending an email or using the internet, as the Modern Welsh Dictionary has comprehensive coverage of contemporary Welsh, from the technological (Rhyngrwyd – internet), to the sporting (cais – a rugby try).
