What is eisteddfod?
EISTEDDFOD- comes from a welsh origin meaning to entertain an audience by a number of theatrical ways. Now days, there are many types of EISTEDDFODS. examples of which could be; a ballet eisteddfod, a speech and drama eisteddfod, an instrumental eisteddfod, a singing eisteddfod, and many others. HOW IT WORKS: I have been in a few speech and drama eisteddfods so i know how it works. usually many people come from different schools or places to compete. The competitor would recite their poem, sing their song or play their music, depending on what type of eisteddfod it is. this would be in front of an audience and a judge which can also be know as an adjudicator, examinor or judge. after the competitor has finished their peice, another competitor would come and do their bit and so on. at the end the judge would comment on all competitors and award places (1st, 2nd, 3rd etc etc) eisteddfods can vary alot and is different everywhere but this is the overal gist of it. sol i hope it help and i wish you luck in any future eisteddfods. :)
What is the origin of the word 'eisteddfod' that gives it such an odd spelling?
The original eisteddfod took place in the country of Wales which, along with England and Scotland and Northern Ireland, makes up the United Kingdom. Wales has its own language - much older than English - that came from pre-Roman times - the times of the Celts, a tribe that lived in that part of the world around 2000 years ago.The word eisteddfod comes from the welsh verb 'eistedd' which means 'to sit' and hence the word eisteddfod means literally 'The Sitting'. The eisteddfod music and poetry festival was called 'the sitting' because originally the judges would it around n a circle with the performers and judge their performances. Nowadays, of course, the term eisteddfod is used all over the world for a musical or poetry festival. Even today, eisteddfods that occur in Wales are almost exclusively conducted in Welsh as there are still many tens of thousands in the country that speak the language - some of whom speak it as their first language and who learn English as a foreign language although part of the United kingdom.Incidentally most non-Welsh people pronounce Eisteddfod incorrectly. Most pronounce it: Eye - STEDD - vud. However, in Welsh a 'd' is pronounced as 'd' in dog, but a double d 'dd' is pronounced as 'th' in 'this' (rather than the softer sound of 'th' in 'theatre'). Similarly, 'f' is pronounced as 'v' in 'very but 'ff' is pronounced as 'f' in 'fish'. As there is a single 'f' in eisteddfod it has to be pronounced as 'v' in 'very'. So the word eisteddfod is correctly pronounced Eye-STETH-vod.
