In this section we will learn how to descibe clothes and colours.
| Lliwiau | Colours |
| Amryliw | Multicoloured |
| Lliwgar | Colourful |
Here are some other words to describe clothes:
| Cynnes | Warm |
| Ysgafn | Light |
| Trwchus | Thick |
| Tenau | Thin |
| Gwlanog | Woolly |
| Trwsiadus | Smart |
| Ffurfiol | Formal |
| Anffurfiol | Informal |
When we describe objects we need to remember 2 things:
1) In Welsh the adjective comes after the noun. For example, red car - car coch
2) All nouns are either feminine or masculine.
If the object described is feminine the adjective that follows it mutates. It is a soft mutation; here's how the letters change:
t > d,
c > g,
p > b,
b > f,
g > letter is dropped,
ll > l,
m > f,
rh > r.
| Masculine | Feminine |
| Crys du | Blows ddu |
| Trowsus coch | Sgert goch |
| Jîns glas | Ffrog las |
| Tei pinc | Sgert binc |
| Sgarff porffor | Het borffor |
| Trons llwyd | Esgid lwyd |
| Fest brown | Maneg frown |
If the adjective follows a plural it doesn't mutate:
We say esgid goch (red shoe)
but esgidiau coch (red shoes).
