A practical reference guide to Welsh idioms and expressions that often cannot be directly translated into English.

An extremely handy reference guide to common idiomatic Welsh sayings and expressions, concentrating on those which do not translate word-for-word into English.

Examples include: antagonize - tynnu blewyn o drwyn; drop in on - taro heibio; get something off your chest - bwrw dy fol; hopping mad - gwyllt gacwn; settle an argument - torri'r dadl; Thank goodness! - Diolch byth! and What's the matter? - Beth sy'n bod?

To help you find the right phrase in Welsh, they are broken down into categories: Emotions; Exclamations; Who?; Where?; When?; Degree; Actions/How?; State/What?
