Eisteddfods

/aɪˈstɛðvɒdz/ noun

Definition

English plural form of eisteddfod, referring to multiple Welsh cultural festivals.

Etymology

The English plural of 'eisteddfod,' using the English '-s' ending rather than the Welsh '-au' plural form.

Kelly Says

This word shows language contact in action—when English speakers talk about multiple eisteddfods, they use English pluralization rather than Welsh, creating a hybrid form that reflects how the two cultures interact!
