We will begin by learning the basic vocabulary related to time, including the words for hours, minutes, and seconds. Then, we will explore the different ways to ask for and give the time in Welsh, considering both the 12-hour and 24-hour clock systems. We will provide numerous examples and practice scenarios throughout the lesson, allowing you to apply what you have learned in a practical context.

So, let's dive in and embark on our journey to master the art of telling time in Welsh!

== Vocabulary ==
=== Asking for the Time ===


Before we dive into the intricacies of telling time, let's familiarize ourselves with some key vocabulary related to time in Welsh. This will provide a solid foundation for our learning journey. Here are some essential words and phrases:
When you want to ask someone for the time in Welsh, you can use the phrase "Sut mae'r amser?" which means "What time is it?" or simply "Faint ydy'r amser?" which translates to "How much is the time?"


=== Hours ===
Here are some examples of how to ask for the time:


In Welsh, the word for "hour" is "awr".
{| class="wikitable"
* Example: "Dau awr" (Two hours)


=== Minutes ===
! Welsh !! Pronunciation !! English


The word for "minute" in Welsh is "munud".
|-
* Example: "Pum munud" (Five minutes)


=== Seconds ===
| Sut mae'r amser? || /sɪt maɪr ˈamsɛr/ || What time is it?


The word for "second" in Welsh is "eiliad".
|-
* Example: "Deg eiliad" (Ten seconds)


These basic vocabulary words will be the building blocks for constructing time expressions in Welsh. As we progress, you will see how these words are used in various contexts to tell time.
| Faint ydy'r amser? || /faɪnt ˈɪdɪr ˈamsɛr/ || How much is the time?


== Telling Time ==
|-


Now that we have a solid foundation of time-related vocabulary, let's dive into the different ways to tell time in Welsh. We will start by exploring the 12-hour clock system and then move on to the 24-hour clock system.
| Gallwch chi ddweud wrthyf faint ydy'r gloch? || /ˈɡalɪχ χi ˈðweɪd ˈʊrθɪv faɪnt ˈɪdɪr ɡlɔχ/ || Can you tell me what time it is?


=== The 12-Hour Clock System ===
|}


In the 12-hour clock system, the day is divided into two halves: AM (ante meridiem) and PM (post meridiem). In Welsh, we indicate the time of day by using the phrases "yn y bore" (in the morning), "yn y prynhawn" (in the afternoon), and "yn y nos" (in the evening/night).
=== Giving the Time ===


To ask for the time in Welsh, you can use the following question:
Now that you know how to ask for the time, let’s learn how to respond! The structure for giving the time in Welsh typically follows the format:
* "Beth yw'r amser?" (What is the time?)


To respond, you would say:
"Mae hi'n [hour] [minutes]". For example, "Mae hi'n dwy o'r gloch" means "It is two o'clock."
* "Mae'n ..." (It is ...)


Let's look at some examples:
Here are some examples of how to give the time:

|-
| Mae hi'n un o'r gloch. || /maɪ hiːn ɪn ɔr ɡlɔχ/ || It is one o'clock.
|-
|-
| Beth yw'r amser? || beth uh-oor am-sair? || What is the time?
 
| Mae hi'n ddwy o'r gloch. || /maɪ hiːn ðʊɪ ɔr ɡlɔχ/ || It is two o'clock.
 
|-
|-
| Mae'n un o'r gloch yn y bore. || myn een oh-oor gloch uhn uh bor-eh || It is one o'clock in the morning.
 
| Mae hi'n tri o'r gloch. || /maɪ hiːn tri ɔr ɡlɔχ/ || It is three o'clock.
 
|-
|-
| Mae'n hanner awr wedi pedwar yn y prynhawn. || myn han-er owr wed-ee ped-war uhn uh prun-haun || It is half past four in the afternoon.
 
| Mae hi'n hanner awr wedi un. || /maɪ hiːn ˈhanər aʊr ˈwɛdɪ ɪn/ || It is half an hour past one.
 
|-
|-
| Mae'n chwarter i naw yn y nos. || myn chwar-ter ee naw uhn uh nos || It is a quarter to nine in the evening.
 
| Mae hi'n chwarter wedi tri. || /maɪ hiːn ˈχwartɛr ˈwɛdɪ tri/ || It is quarter past three.
 
|}
|}


Note: In spoken Welsh, you might come across some variations in the way people tell time. For example, instead of saying "Mae'n un o'r gloch," you might hear "Mae'n un o'r gloch y bore" or simply "Un o'r gloch" to mean "One o'clock." These variations are commonly used in informal settings.
=== Special Cases: A Few More Examples ===
 
In addition to the basic structure, there are a few special cases to note when telling time in Welsh:
 
1. '''For times before the hour''': You can say "Mae hi'n [minutes] munud tan [hour]." (It is [minutes] minutes to [hour].)


=== The 24-Hour Clock System ===
* Example: "Mae hi'n bum munud tan ddwy." (It is five minutes to two.)


The 24-hour clock system, also known as the military time system, is widely used in many countries, including Wales. In this system, the day is divided into 24 hours, starting from midnight (00:00) and ending at midnight (24:00).
2. '''For half past''': You can say "Mae hi'n hanner awr wedi [hour]." (It is half an hour past [hour].)  


To ask for the time in the 24-hour clock system, you can use the following question:
* Example: "Mae hi'n hanner awr wedi pedwar." (It is half past four.)
* "Beth yw'r amser?" (What is the time?)


To respond, you would state the time using the 24-hour format. For example, "2:30 PM" would be "14:30" in the 24-hour clock system.
3. '''For special times''': Use phrases like "Mae hi'n amser cinio." (It is lunchtime.)


Let's look at some examples:
* Example: "Mae hi'n amser cinio." (It is lunchtime.)
 
=== Useful Phrases for Daily Conversations ===

|}
