Hi,
Any Welsh speakers about? Could someone translate "I like butterflies" into Welsh for me please? I'm making a quiz.
Thank you very much 🙏

Depends where you're from - or on personal preference.

There's the above - glöyn byw means living ember, literally.

Or
Dw i'n hoffi ieir bach yr haf - iâr fach yr haf means little summer hen, literally, or little summer bird, figuratively

Or
Dw'n hoffi pili-palod - pili-pala is a South Wales term

Or you could use the more neutral Rwy'n instead of the more colloquial Northern Welsh Dw i'n at the beginning. So:
Rwy'n hoffi glöynnod byw / Rwy'n hoffi ieir bach yr haf / Rwy'n hoffi pili-palod

Hope you all have a lovely summer ☀️
