[JudyAdamso1]

So did I! Something in the notes would have been helpful as there was no way of knowing about this.

[Owen_Finnie]

shouldn't this be do you like singing folk music because of canu?

[rmcode]

This is a widely used idiom for 'folk music'. Also 'canu gwlad' is an idiom for 'American country music'.

Remember 'canu' is also to 'play' an instrument eg canu gitâr, canu piano etc.

[ibisc]

canu means 'singing, to sing' but is is also used for 'playing, to play' when a musical instrument is played - mae hi'n canu gitar 'she is playing the guitar'.

So 'canu gwerin' means 'folk singing/playing' , which is usually translated into English as 'folk music'. A lot depends on context though, and you can always add other words into a phrase to make it more specific:

• Wyt ti'n hoffi canu caneuon gwerin? - Do you like singing folk songs?
• Wyt ti'n hoffi canu cerddoriaeth werin? - Do you like playing folk music?
• Wyt ti'n hoffi gwrando ar ganeuon gwerin?
