Describing Clothes
In this section we will learn how to descibe clothes and colours. | Lliwiau | Colours | | Amryliw | Multicoloured | | Lliwgar | Colourful |
Here are some other words to describe clothes: | Cynnes | Warm | | Ysgafn | Light | | Trwchus | Thick | | Tenau | Thin | | Gwlanog | Woolly | | Trwsiadus | Smart | | Ffurfiol | Formal | | Anffurfiol | Informal |
When we describe objects we need to remember 2 things:
1) In Welsh the adjective comes after the noun. For example, red car - car coch
2) All nouns are either feminine or masculine.
If the object described is feminine the adjective that follows it mutates. It is a soft mutation; here's how the letters change:
t > d,
c > g,
p > b,
b > f,
g > letter is dropped,
ll > l,
m > f,
rh > r. | Masculine | Feminine | | Crys du | Blows ddu | | Trowsus coch | Sgert goch | | Jîns glas | Ffrog las | | Tei pinc | Sgert binc | | Sgarff porffor | Het borffor | | Trons llwyd | Esgid lwyd | | Fest brown | Maneg frown |
If the adjective follows a plural it doesn't mutate:
We say esgid goch (red shoe)
but esgidiau coch (red shoes). | | |  | | |  | |
