There are two counting systems in Welsh - the traditional system and the modern system. The traditional system is always used when telling the time, and very often when talking about people's ages. The simpler modern system was developed to facilitate the teaching of Maths through the medium of Welsh. It is the more common of the two systems now, especially amongst younger people. | Modern | Traditional | | 11 | Un deg un | Un ar ddeg | | 12 | Un deg dau | Deuddeg | | 13 | Un deg tri | Tri ar ddeg | | 14 | Un deg pedwar | Pedwar ar ddeg | | 15 | Un deg pump | Pymtheg | | 16 | Un deg chwech | Un ar bymtheg | | 17 | Un deg saith | Dau ar bymtheg | | 18 | Un deg wyth | Deunaw | | 19 | Un deg naw | Pedwar ar bymtheg | | 20 | Dau ddeg | Ugain | | 21 | Dau ddeg un | Un ar hugain | | 22 | Dau ddeg dau | Dau ar hugain | | 23 | Dau ddeg tri | Tri ar hugain | | 24 | Dau ddeg pedwar | Pedwar ar hugain | | 25 | Dau ddeg pump | Pump ar hugain | | 30 | Tri deg | Deg ar hugain | | 31 | Tri deg un | Un ar ddeg ar hugain | | 40 | Pedwar deg | deugain |
Notice that we say 'pum munud ar hugain wedi' rather than 'pump ar hugain munud wedi'. | | |  | | |  | |
