Definitions

1

The Welsh tag question that gets bolted onto the end of just about any statement, regardless of what verb came before. Where standard English would say 'isn't it', 'didn't you', 'aren't they', the Welsh just go 'is it'. It's a check-in, a confirmation, a verbal nod — and once you start clocking it, you'll hear it everywhere from Cardiff to Caernarfon.
