Welsh words for St David's Day

World Update

Available for over a year

Foreign words - like the Danish "hygge" and the Irish "craic" - are often heard and read in English but those from Welsh, a Celtic language with a long history, are not nearly as common. The National Poet for Wales, Ifor Ap Glyn, told Dan Damon - himself a Welsh speaker from England - about some of his favourites on St David's Day.
