ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Dwyfan and Dwyfach

Okay, so let me explain dwyfan and dwyfach in a way that a 5-year-old can understand.

Imagine that you have a bowl of candy. If you give a big piece of candy to someone, that would be like dwyfan. "Dwyfan" means "big two" in Welsh.

Now, if you give a small piece of candy to someone, that would be like dwyfach. "Dwyfach" means "small two" in Welsh.

So basically, dwyfan and dwyfach are like the words "big two" and "small two". They refer to a way of counting things in Welsh. But instead of saying "one, two, three", they say "one, twofach, twofan, three".

It's like having two sizes of candy - a big one and a small one - and using those to count things. So when you hear dwyfan or dwyfach, just remember that it's like giving someone a big candy or a small candy.
