Mood: mood
In Welsh, Mood is a feature of finite verbs. It is used to express modality and further subclassify finite verb forms.
Ind: indicative
The indicative can be considered the default mood. A verb in indicative merely states that something happens, has happened or will happen, without adding any attitude of the speaker.
Examples
- Mi canodd hi “she sang”
Imp: imperative
The speaker uses imperative to order or ask the addressee to do the action of the verb.
Examples
- Tyrd yma! “come here!”
Cnd: conditional
Expresses a possibility
Examples
- Gallai gwyntoedd cryfion daro Cymru “strong winds could hit Wales”
Sub: subjunctive
The subjunctive mood is used under certain circumstances in subordinate clauses, typically for actions that are subjective or otherwise uncertain such as expressing an opinion or describing one’s state of mind. It is also used to make statements contrary to fact.
Examples
- Cafodd y gyngerdd ei recordio – pe baech chi eisiau gwrando “the concert was recorded if you wanted to listen to it”
