Welsh Pronouns
This is a list of pronouns in Welsh. This includes subject, object, and the possessive. These are used on a daily basis, so don't skip this lesson. We start with the object pronouns such as "I, you, her ..."
I: fi
|
You: ti
|
He: ef
|
She: hi
|
| We: ni |
| You (pl.): chi |
| They: nhw |
|
Here are samples to demonstrate how the object pronoun is used in a sentence.
I love you: Rwy'n dy garu di
|
She is beautiful: May hi'n brydferth
|
| We are happy: Rydym ni'n hapus |
| They are dancing: Mae nhw'n dawnsio |
Now we look into the subject pronoun such as "me, him, us, them ...".
Me: fi
|
You: ti
|
Him: ef
|
Her: hi
|
| Us: ni |
| You (pl.): chi |
| Them: nhw |
|
These are examples to demonstrate how the subject pronoun is used in a sentence.
Give me your phone number: Rho dy rhif ffôn i mi
|
I can give you my email: Galla i roi fy nghyfeiriad ebost i ti
|
| Tell him to call me: Dwed wrtho i fy ngalw / ffonio i |
| Can you call us?: Allwch chi ffonio ni? |
We reach now the possessive adjective part, used to refer to thing we possess. Examples: "my, our, their ...".
My: fy
|
Your: dy
|
His: ei
|
Her: ei

| Our: ein |
| Your (pl.): eich |
| Their: eu |

Mine: fy un i

Yours: dy un di
|
His: ei un ef
|
Hers: ei un hi
|
| Ours: ein un ni |
