Ap Geiriaduron

What the flip

I love this app! I’m a welsh learner but also supporting my daughter who has just started welsh primary school so it’s easy to look up words I don’t know in her reading books for example or more commonly when she asks “Beth yw … yng nghymraeg?” What is …. In welsh? And we find out together!

Having just moved to Flintshire: This App looks like exactly what I need … but I fell at the first Hurdle, trying to find the meaning of a road name : Rhewl Fawr Road My best guess is ‘Big Icy Road’ but the confidence level is very low.

I have found the ap Geiriaduron to be really useful. In contrast to Google Translate, the app provides information about the class of word and the context in which it is to be used. This helps prevent mis-translations as Google does not always understand the context of the words that you are putting in. The app appears to have a wide lexicon which is really useful. There aren’t many words that I haven’t been able to translate using the app. The app is quick and easy to access, just a few clicks on the screen and I can be translating words in seconds. The app helps to differentiate between words which are mutations of words and which are words in their own right. This aids in the understanding of the language and facilitates learning in the long term. I think that the app is really useful for any learners or speakers of Welsh and it is such a handy thing to have on the phone.

As an adult interested in picking up Welsh phrases, my first search was “cheers” and “iechyd da”. Next “good morning/afternoon“. Perhaps the app isn’t targeted at me

this app is a bum

I hate this app made absolutely no sense I needed this app for my GCSEs may as well use google translate it’s much better and can do more words. Don’t recommend this app

mae’r ap hyn yn wych am fy ngwaith ysgol ond weithiau mae yna eiriau dydw i methu ddarganfod sydd yn siom er bod yr ap yn dda mor belled.

The dictionary does not load data to your device. It always presents a button search on the internet no matter what word you ask for. If you set it for Welsh to English, it usually does not give you the English word. As far as I can see, it often does not provide a definition of a Welsh word in Welsh either. As bilingual dictionary it is completely useless.
