Usage notes

 * With certain conjunctions, contractions may be used (e.g. +  &rarr; ). In some cases, like  and, the independent conjunction has fallen out of use, but the contractions still remain in use. For other cases, the contractions are optional, but commonly used. When the contraction is used, the negative verb may effectively shift ahead in the clause:


 * The negation verb is used with the connegative form of the main verb.
 * In the active voice, the verb is inflected in person and mood (only for imperative, otherwise the indicative forms are used).
 * In the indicative mood and present tense (including for in the perfect tense), the connegative form is identical to the second-person singular imperative.
 * In the indicative mood and past tense (including for in the pluperfect tense and the main verb in the perfect and pluperfect tenses), the connegative form is the past active participle.
 * In the conditional and potential moods, the connegative ends with the mood markers and  (without the personal ending), respectively.
 * In the imperative mood, the connegative form is the same as the positive form for the second-person singular, while for the other forms a form ending in is used.
 * In the passive voice, the third-person singular (or  for the imperative mood) is used.
 * In the present tense, the connegative form is the impersonal or passive form without the final (indicative),  (conditional),  (potential) and  (imperative).
 * In the past tense (including the perfect and pluperfect tenses), the connegative form is the past passive participle.
 * The total object in the negative is always in the partitive case, not the accusative case (whether that be the nominative, genitive or a special form):


 * Indicative:


 * Conditional:


 * Imperative:


 * Potential:


 * Indicative:


 * Conditional:


 * Imperative (the second form, perfect imperative, is rare):


 * Potential:

Conjugation

 * The negation verb has no infinitive form.
 * Indicative, conditional and potential moods use the indicative forms (stem e-), for which the verb is conjugated only in person (the moods are distinguished by the connegative form used).
 * In the imperative mood the negation verb has the stem äl-. As with all verbs, the first-person plural imperative is formal or dated, while the third-person imperative (both singular and plural) is dated.
 * An archaic optative mood exists and is used mainly in poetry.

Usage notes

 * In formal Welsh, masculine or feminine  is added after the noun or verbnoun which  precedes to indicates emphasis on the determiner or pronoun. In colloquial Welsh, the masculine takes  or  (southern and northern forms respectively) after a consonant and  or  (southern and northern) after a vowel, whereas the feminine takes, but is not necessarily an indicator of emphasis. Here, it is often included with the determiner and always included with the pronoun. The exception to the latter case is in passive constructions employing , where no addition is found.
 * In formal Welsh, the contraction is a valid form of  found after mostly functional vowel-final words. In colloquial Welsh,  is often contracted to  after almost any vowel-final word. The exception is both forms of the language is after the preposition, after which  contracts to . (Contraction to  after  is sometimes encountered but considered non-standard.)
 * Pronomial and  can occur before any verbal noun. Before a verb, pronomial  is found only in formal language after certain vowel-final preverbal particles. See entry for  for more information.
 * The colloquial pronunciation is the original pronunciation, as shown by the Middle Welsh form . The more careful pronunciation  is a later.

Verb

 * 1)  to be
