Did you know?
- Welsh allows for the creation of new verbs by adding the suffix -o to nouns or adjectives, as seen in tacluso, which effectively 'verbifies' the concept of tidiness.
- The word amser shares a common ancestor with the Old Irish word 'aimser', meaning both phrases are part of a deep Celtic linguistic tradition spanning the Irish Sea.
- While amser tacluso describes the period of cleaning, the word taclus can also be used to describe a person who is meticulously organized in their habits.
