Family 1 is the thirty-third (assuming read left to right) skill in the Welsh language tree. The major theme of this skill is the possessive pronouns (my, your, etc.) and some family words, with more coming in Family 2. It has four lessons.

Grammar Notes[]

Possessives in Welsh are much the same as in English, but there a few things to keep in mind:

  • Often, the possessive pronoun is paired with a personal pronoun, as in fy mam-gu i ("My grandma I").
  • dy and ei (meaning "him") have soft mutation afterwards.
  • fy causes nasal mutation.
  • ei (meaning "her"), eu, and ein cause aspirate mutation. They also add an h to the beginning of the next word if it begins with a vowel.
