What is Learning Mode

Learning Mode offers more information for children and learners. It uses colour to highlight parts of speech, it shows how a word mutates, and it shows the part of speech and mutations at work within the context of personal pronouns and counting.

What is the significance of the colours?

The colours highlight specific parts of speech in order to help remember how a word behaves. The selection of colours follows the pattern devised by D.Geraint Lewis in his book D.I.Y. Welsh (Gomer, 2018), ie:

enw gwrywaidd = noun masculine, e.g. bachgen
enw benywaidd = noun feminine, e.g. merch
enw lluosog =noun plural, e.g. newyddion
enw gwrywaidd neu fenywaidd = noun masculine or feminine, e.g. munud (which varies between North and South Wales)
enw benywaidd neu wrywaidd = noun feminine or masculine, e.g. nyrs (which varies according to the gender of the person - this type of variation is rare)
ansoddair = adjective, e.g. bach
berfenw = verb-noun, e.g. canu
