Greetings 2 is the second skill (assuming read left to right) of the Welsh language tree. This skill has two lessons, and it teaches the basics of Welsh grammar, as well as a few new words.

Grammar Notes[]

Syntax[]

Welsh generally has a verb-subject-object word order, but at times an emphasized object is placed at the beginning of the sentence. For example: Sioned dw i can only be in that order.

Pronouns[]

Unlike English, Welsh has two words for "you", chi and ti. This is similar to most other modern languages. Only chi is taught in this skill.

Asking a Name[]

In Welsh, one can ask a name by asking "Who are you?" (Pwy dych chi?).

Lessons[]

Lesson 1[]

  • iawn = ok
  • diolch = thank you
  • dim diolch = no thank you
  • sut = how
  • dych chi = you are

Lesson 2[]

  • gwych = great
  • yn well = better
  • wedi blino = tired
  • yn waeth = worse
  • pwy = who
