Adjectives Grammar Rules
In general adjectives are words which describe or modify another person or object in a given sentence. For example: a beautiful flower the adjective is [beautiful] because it describes the noun [flower]. The following examples use adjectives in different ways and places to demonstrate how they behave in a sentence.
| Grammar Rules | Welsh |
|---|---|
| my house is white [noun + adjective] | mae fy nhŷ yn wyn |
| your country is big [noun + adjective] | mae'ch gwlad yn fawr |
| new books are expensive [plural + adjective] | mae llyfrau newydd yn ddrud |
| we are happy here [pronoun + verb + adjective] | dyn ni'n hapus yma |
| she has three small dogs [adjective + plural] | mae tri chi bach gyda hi |
| this language is very easy [adverb + adjective] | mae'r iaith hon yn hawdd iawn |
| I have a small green house [adjective + adjective] | mae gen i dŷ bach gwyrdd |
We're not done yet! The following is a list of more adjectives for you, often used when referring to weather conditions. I think it would be wise to memorize them.
cold oer | hot poeth | cloudy cymylog | rainy glawog |
snowy eirïaidd | sunny heulog | windy gwyntog | warm poeth |
