Pronunciation[edit]
The circumflex is used to distinguish the word from (“and”) rather than to indicate vowel length. Preposition[edit]â - with
- (instrumental) with, by means of
Usage notes[edit]
- In formal language, â triggers the aspirate mutation, but colloquially this is usually absent unless in certain set phrases. Before vowels, is used instead, but often it remains â colloquially.
- In the colloquial language â meaning “with” is mostly used after specific verbs, such as (“meet”) or (“visit”). The synonyms or are used more generally.
- Note especially the forms (“take”, literally “go with”) and (“bring”, literally “come with”). Compare:
- Es i â fy mam at y meddyg. ― I took my mother to the doctor. [I transported her]
- Es i gyda fy mam at y meddyg. ― I went with my mother to the doctor. [she accompanied me]
Inflection[edit]No personal inflections. See also[edit]
