Welsh translation

[Kaouenn]

Does anyone know the welsh translation of "anam cara" please ?

Thanks in advance

It's Gaelic, not Welsh, and it means "Soul Friend."

You could try:

enaid chyfaill life friend

or

enaid anwylyd life beloved

Yess, i know it's gaelic, but i'm looking for a welsh translation of this gaelic's expression ; sorry if I was not rather explicit previously.

enaid chyfaill life friend

or

enaid anwylyd life beloved

Thank you Art
There's a few weeks, i read in a french (i'm french)/welsh dictionnary that "enaid" is "soul" ; do you agree with this ? Can we translate "enaid" by "life" or "soul" ?

[Alfarera]

I'm sorry, I missed the point.

There is no problem Llwynoges

Hi Kaouenn,

I hope my memorey is right here, but I thought Welsh Enaid was the exact equivalent of Irish Anam, like Breton Ene. So that must do the trick.

Quite a few of the Welsh translations here are incorrectly translated (incorrect mutations, incorrect word order etc).

Seeing as "Anam Cara" means "Soul Friend," then you could use any of the following;

"Ffrind Enaid" - literally "Soul Friend"

Art, "enaid chyfaill" means "Soul Pal," and the mutation and word order is wrong; it should be "Cyfaill Enaid," and "enaid anwylyd" should be "Anwylyd Enaid," although it does not mean "life beloved," but "Soul Beloved."
