Welsh

Etymology

edit

From Middle Welsh bot, from Proto-Celtic *butā (cf. Cornish bos, Breton bout), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (to be, become); all the b- initial forms are from the same root. The vowel-initial forms as well as sy(dd) are from Proto-Indo-European *h₁es- (to be).

The present-progressive forms with yd- (ydwyf, etc.), and hence the colloquial present-affirmative forms with d- (dw, etc.), are from the affirmative particle yd.[1] Colloquial affirmative forms with r- (rwyt, roeddwn, etc.) are from the affirmative particle yr. Colloquial negative forms with d- (dydw, does, doeddwn, etc.) are from the negative particle nid.

The third-person singular present mae originally meant ‘here is’ and is from the same source as yma (here) plus Proto-Celtic *esti. The third-person plural maent (colloquial maen) is derived from the singular by adding the third-person plural verb ending -nt.

Counterfactual forms such as petaswn and taswn are from univerbation with pe (if)yd (affirmative particle).[2]

Pronunciation

edit

Verb

edit

bod (first-person singular present wyf)

  1. to be
  2. there be (there is, there are etc.)
  3. (auxiliary)
    1. Used with yn to form various tenses with progressive or stative meaning
    2. Used with wedi to form various tenses with perfect meaning
  4. that... is, that... are, etc. (personal forms: (fy) mod i, (dy) fod di, (ei) fod e/o, (ei) bod hi, (ein) bod ni, (eich) bod chi, (eu) bod nhw)
    Dw i’n meddwl (ei) bod hi’n ddoniol.I think that she’s funny.
    Mae hi’n meddwl (fy) mod i’n dod.She thinks that I’m coming.
    Roedd Eleri yn dweud (dy) fod di’n sâl.Eleri was saying you were ill.

Usage notes

edit
  • Bod is the primary auxiliary verb in Welsh, used to form a great number of periphrastic tenses; see Appendix:Welsh conjugation.
  • The two conditional tense stems bydd- and bas- can be opted between freely, although bas- is more common when used alongside a counterfactual in (pe) tas-.
  • The preterite is relatively rare and mostly interchangeable with the imperfect.
  • In the tenses given here, all forms of bod must be linked to a noun, adjective or verb with yn, wedi, or some other similar particle.
  • The existential sense ("there is") uses the distinct interrogative form oes and negative does, however the affirmative mae is the same as the main verb, as are all non-present tenses.
  • Bod introduces a subordinate clause only when the corresponding main clause would begin with a form of bod (the verb "to be") in the present or imperfect tense (including perfect and pluperfect clauses with wedi).
  • Nouns are preceded with bod, or fod if the preceding verb is conjugated.

Conjugation
