"To find"

Translation: Dod o hyd i

[MatthewSke1]

I've never seen "Dod o hyd i" taught elsewhere. What does it mean literally?

[obado]

It doesn't make much sense literally - dod is to come o hyd is still. Come still to! Like all languages Welsh has lots of things that only work because they work

[deactivated user]

In English you have "to come by" as in "How did you come by that?", meaning "How did you find that?". There's also "to come upon". I wonder do they bear some relation to the Welsh phrase?

[steffanapiolo]

Why not darganfod or dod o hyd....ffeindio is too Anglo?

[obado]

Never seen 'ffeindio' before, only 'ffindio'

[Moira582602]

An odd expression - never heard it in conversation or in any of the simple Welsh books (Canolradd) that I've read.

[ibisc]

It is a common way of saying 'finding'.
