Short description
Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru: A Dictionary of the Welsh Language is the Welsh-language equivalent of the Oxford English Dictionary. Every word is defined in Welsh with English synonyms and illustrative quotations, together with the word’s etymology, and grammatical information such as the gender and plurals of nouns.
Features
Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru 
is the largest Welsh dictionary with
– 124,500 headwords- 7,150 variant forms
– 34,400 collocations (phrases)
– 475,000 illustrative quotations with source references
– over 60,000 cross-referencesThe headwords, variant forms, and collocations are searchable by word or phrase. Accents, numerals, and apostrophes are ignored to simplify input –
instead all matches are listed for you to choose from.
Fuzzy searching: If the app fails to find the word you are searching for it will suggest similar words.
The app searches automatically for mutated forms in order to find additional results.
You can use wildcards (‘*’, ‘?’, ‘+’).
You can search the English synonyms, using the same wildcards.
You can use the app online, with no data downloaded. Alternatively you can download all the data (about 185MB)
via WiFi and use it offline. If you don’t have enough room on
your device, you can download the data without the quotations (which takes about 132MB).
The app contains two simple word games – an anagram game and a hidden-word game – with clues based on the definitions in the Dictionary. The selection of words can be confined to your recent searches – particularly useful for learners to practice new vocabulary.
There is a ‘Help’ section to answer frequently asked questions and to supply further information.
