Welsh is a fascinating language with a rich cultural heritage. In this lesson, we will be learning how to tell time in Welsh. While it may seem like a small aspect of the language, being able to tell time is a fundamental skill that will greatly improve your ability to communicate with Welsh speakers.
Basic Vocabulary
Before we dive into telling time, let's take a moment to review some basic vocabulary words related to time in Welsh:
- Amser - Time
- Mewn munudau - In minutes
- Eiliadau - Seconds
- Awr - Hour
- Hanner awr - Half hour
- Y bore - Morning
- Y prynhawn - Afternoon
- Y nos - Night
Telling Time
Now that we know a few words related to time, let's learn how to tell time in Welsh. To start with, let's take a look at the numbers we will be using:
- 1 - Un
- 2 - Dau
- 3 - Tri
- 4 - Pedwar
- 5 - Pump
- 6 - Chwech
- 7 - Saith
- 8 - Wyth
- 9 - Naw
- 10 - Deg
- 11 - Un ar ddeg
- 12 - Dau ar ddeg
Once you have the numbers down, telling time is relatively straightforward. To tell the time, simply combine the hours and minutes using the words "o" (meaning "of" or "after") and "i" (meaning "to"). Here are some examples:
- 7:15 AM - Saith ac un ar bymtheg
- 3:30 PM - Tri a hanner awr yn y prynhawn
- 10:45 PM - Deg a phymtheg o bedwar yn y nos
Note that we use "ac" instead of "a" to separate the hours and minutes when the minute is "one" ("un" in Welsh).
If you want to ask someone the time in Welsh, simply use one of the following phrases:
- Beth yw'r amser? - What time is it?
- Faint yw'r gloch? - What's the time?
- Sawl o'r gloch yw hi? - What time is it? (informal)
To answer these questions, you can use the phrases we learned earlier, such as "Mae hi'n saith ac un ar bymtheg" ("It's 7:15").
Practice
To help you practice telling time in Welsh, here are a few exercises:
1. Write out the following times in Welsh:
- 9:30 AM
- 2:45 PM
- 11:10 PM
2. Translate the following phrases into Welsh:
- What time is it?
- It's 8:20 AM.
- Faint yw'r gloch yn awr?
Here are the answers to the exercises:
1.
- Naw a hanner ar y bore
- Dau a phymtheg o'r gloch yn y prynhawn
- Un ar ddeg a deg munud i ddeg ar bedwar yn y nos
2.
- Beth yw'r amser?
- Mae hi'n wyth a ugain ar bum munud ar hugain y bore.
- How o'clock is it now?
Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned how to tell time in Welsh using the numbers and some basic vocabulary words. We also learned how to ask for and answer the question "What time is it?" Remember to practice regularly to solidify your knowledge of this important skill. As we move forward in this course, we will continue to build on the foundational knowledge we have gained so far.
