Exercise Language: Adjectives

Adjective exercises are an integral part of learning Welsh grammar. They train learners to modify or describe a noun, which can be a person, place, thing or idea. By practicing these exercises, students can comprehend how adjectives agree with the gender and the number of the noun they describe, a crucial aspect of Welsh grammar. For example, “mawr” (big) becomes “fawr” before a feminine noun and “mawrion” in the plural form. Adjective placement exercises are also important as in Welsh, the adjective usually comes after the noun, unlike English. For instance, ‘ty mawr’ translates to ‘big house.’ Through comparisons and superlatives exercises, students can understand forms like “mwy” (more), “mwyaf” (most). Another essential part of adjective exercises includes understanding mutation, a unique feature of Welsh language, where the first letter of a word might change depending on its use. In all, pronunciation, use in sentences, and understanding context are part of an adjective exercise.
