Geiriadur Idiomau A Dictionary of Welsh and English Idiomatic Phrases Compiled by Alun Rhys Cownie Associate editor: Wyn G. Roberts pp xvii299 April 2001 216x138mm paperback £7.99 0-7083-1656-5 Cymraeg This brand new dictionary, containing some 12,000 Welsh and English idiomatic phrases, is sure to be of interest to both Welsh speakers and learners. Click here (English to Welsh) or here (Welsh to English) to view sample pages directly on the Web as PDF files. You will need to have Acrobat Reader on your PC. You can download Acrobat Reader free by clicking on the icon below if you do not have it installed already. The phrases included range from those which are true idioms in both languages and cannot be translated literally – such as chwerthin yn ei dwrn: to laugh up her sleeve – to those where only the use of a preposition is different or peculiar – such as amneidio ar rywun: to beckon to somone. Many of the other phrases contain a peculiarity of vocabulary, word order or tense, which means that they cannot be translated word for word. This is a dictionary which will allow you to look up such diverse Welsh phrases as achub y blaen arnyn nhw, blwyddyn gron, corff yr eglwys, dan ei sang, elwa ar ..., Gorau oll!, mewn bri, siarad fel pwll y m󰺯i> or wedi chwythu ei phlwc; or to see how to translate such English idioms as all and sundry, cat’s whiskers, get a fair crack of the whip, in the nick of time, Mum’s the word!, on the off chance, stick out like a sore thumb or throw down the gauntlet. An important aim of this dictionary is to help those learning Welsh to make the difficult transition from idiomatic usage in English to idiomatic usage in Welsh, and it will very quickly earn its place as an invaluable tool in that learning process. However, there is little doubt that it will be of great value to many whose first language is Welsh and to those who are studying in universities, colleges and Welsh-medium schools.

Roberts is a retired primary school headteacher now living in Pwllheli.

Mae’r term ‘idiomatic phrase’ yn cael ei ddefnyddio yma i ddisgrifio ymadrodd y mae angen rhywbeth mwy na chyfieithu’r geiriau unigol er mwyn ei drosi’n effeithiol a chywir i’r iaith arall. Bwriad yr adran Gymraeg–Saesneg yw gadael i’r darllenydd chwilio am ymadrodd ar 󪟥i glywed neu’i ddarllen mewn cyd-destun naturiol. Bydd yr adran Saesneg–Cymraeg o gymorth i’r darllenydd fynegi’i hun mewn modd priodol a chywir; cynhwysir brawddegau enghreifftiol ychwanegol weithiau i esbonio ystyron amwys neu rai pwyntiau gramadegol. Bydd y geiriadur hwn yn ennill ei le yn gyflym iawn fel cyfeirlyfr anhepgor ar gyfer nid yn unig y rhai sy’n dysgu Cymraeg ond hefyd y Cymry Cymraeg iaith gyntaf, yn ogystal ag mewn ysgolion Cymraeg. Bu Alun Rhys Cownie’n ddarlithydd prifysgol cyn iddo ymddeol. Cafodd ei eni yng Nghaerdydd ac erbyn hyn mae’n byw ym Mhwllheli lle mae wedi dysgu Cymraeg. Bu Wyn G.
