    The glass fell to the floor and shattered [I (“in”) as opposed to till (“to”) puts more focus on the impact and often implies an accidental fall, though this is a fairly native-level distinction – can be thought of as a generalization of "fall in the water" and the like. "Falla till golvet" – like in English – isn't wrong either.]

Inherited from English glass.

glas

  1. glass (as in a glass of water)

Inherited from Middle Welsh and Old Welsh glas, from Proto-Brythonic *glas, from Proto-Celtic *glastos. Related to glân (“clean”), arsenig (“arsenic”), and clorin (“chlorine”).

Cognate with Cornish glas (“blue, green, grey”), Breton glas (“blue”), Irish glas (“green, grey”), Scottish Gaelic glas (“grey, green, unripe”) and Manx glass (“green, grey, pale, raw”).

glas (feminine singular **glas, plural gleision, equative glased, comparative glasach, superlative glasaf)

  1. blue
  2. (archaic) green (of plants), verdant, unripe
    Synonym: gwyrdd
  3. (archaic) pale blue or green, slate-coloured
  4. (archaic) silver
    Synonym: arian
  5. early, dawning, young, raw, immature, green
    • 2001, Menna Elfyn, Er cof am Kelly:
      Panig wedi'r poen. / “My God it's only a little girl” / Meddai'r glas filwr.
      Panic after the pain. / “My God it's only a little girl” / Said the young soldier.
  6. grey (of a horse)

The word glas can be used to cover a much wider range of colours than in English, from green (especially of nature) through blue to slaty grey and silver. In the present day it usually corresponds more closely to English "blue", but is often found in phrases and compound words to convey other colours.
