Talk:Literary Welsh morphology

Verb lemma forms don't appear in the tables of forms[edit]

In the table of forms of verbs given in this article, the lemma forms don't actually appear in the table anywhere. There's no mynd, gwneud, cael or dod listed in the tables, nor do bod or talu. CodeCat (talk) 18:57, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Background of Literary Welsh[edit]

There is no explanation on the page that Literary Welsh is, for all intents and purposes a partially constructed language. It is not a spoken form of Welsh, it is not descended from a form of spoken Welsh, but is based on the Welsh translation of the Bible with other features cherry-picked along the way - to the point where Welsh speakers have to be educated in Literary Welsh in such a way that English speakers do not need as there is no "higher" form of English. The history of Literary Welsh needs to be included here and made explicit that it is not a spoken form. — Dyolf87 (talk) 03:33, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also disappointing that a lot is just description of Welsh, not how the literary language differs from the spoken language. ⚜ Moilleadóir ✍ 03:48, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

'Cael' imperatives[edit]

Cael does not have imperative forms in the spoken language, but the literary register has them. In the second-person these are ca and cewch, there are also forms for the other persons and numbers. – Dyolf87 (talk) 14:31, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Preverbal particles[edit]

A section on the preverbal particles is needed in the Verbs section. The particles ni(d), na(d), oni(d), a, mi, fe are hardly, or not, discussed. – Dyolf87 (talk) 09:07, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
