Welcome to this resource designed to provide insight into common Welsh vocabulary. This list presents 1000 Welsh words derived from a statistical analysis performed on a large collection of articles from the Welsh Wikipedia (Wicipedia Cymraeg).
The words are sorted in decreasing order of frequency. This means the words at the top were encountered most often in the analyzed Wikipedia text. Each entry includes the Welsh word, its likely part of speech (e.g., noun, verb-noun, adjective), and common English translations.
As the source material is encyclopedic, the frequency ranking reflects patterns found in informative and often formal written Welsh. Vocabulary related to topics frequently covered on Wikipedia (like geography, history, biography) may appear higher on this list than it might in everyday conversation or fiction.
Nonetheless, this list provides a valuable snapshot of frequently used words in a significant body of modern Welsh text and serves as a strong starting point for vocabulary acquisition.
-
y
[determiner]
(the)
Use 'yr' before words starting with a vowel or 'h'; use 'y' before words starting with consonants.
-
yn
[preposition/particle]
(in, as)
This versatile word acts as the preposition 'in', links verb-nouns in progressive tenses (e.g., dw i'n mynd - I am going), and precedes predicate nouns/adjectives (mae hi'n dda - she is good).
-
bod
[verb-noun]
(to be, being)
-
a

-
i
[preposition]
(to, for)
-
ei

ar
[preposition]
(on)

gan
