WelshEdit

EtymologyEdit

From Middle Welsh bot, from Proto-Celtic *butā, 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 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.

PronunciationEdit

IPA^(key): /boːd/

VerbEdit

bod (first-person singular present wyf)

to be
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’re ill.

Usage notesEdit

Bod is the primary auxiliary verb in Welsh, used to form a great number of tenses; see Appendix:Welsh conjugation.
The two conditional tenses can be opted between freely.
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.
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.
Nouns are preceded with bod, or fod if the preceding verb is conjugated.
