Etymology
editFrom 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
editVerb
editbod (first-person singular present wyf)
- to be
- there be (there is, there are etc.)
- (auxiliary)
- Used with yn to form various tenses with progressive or stative meaning
- Used with wedi to form various tenses with perfect meaning
- 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.
