[Facts] Re: Name pronunciation
in reply to a message by Lauren B
hi yes you do kinda have it back to front, I just found this website today and its great. I live in Wales and also have a friend called Dafydd, its actually pronounced Dah-vith but if you look at that word you may pronounce it wrong, I'll explain what I mean. "dd" in Welsh is actually a single letter and its like a softer way of saying the Englsh version of "th", in the way the word "the" starts if you get what I mean, "the" starts with a soft "th" whereas a word like "health" for example ends in a hard "th". So to sum it all up lol, the way to pronounce it is Dah-vith but as if it was a soft "th" at the end.
