Writing Time and Date
Dates are written day/month/year. So if you see 04-12-2003, you know that's y pedwerydd o Rhagfyr , not April 12. A date (18-12-1963) fully spelled out is y deunawfed o Rhagfyr mil naw chwe' thri (you specify the number of thousands, then the individual number of the hundreds, tens, and units; for years from 2000 onwards say "dwy fil" (two thousand) followed by the significant number, omitting the zeroes - thus 2005 is "dwy fil a pump" (two thousand and five), compared with 1987 which was "mil naw wyth saith" ((one) thousand nine eight seven). Ordinals are
- 1st - 1af, cyntaf
- 2nd - 2il, ail
- 3rd - 3ydd, trydydd
- 4th - 4ydd, pedwerydd
- 5th - 5ed, pumed
- 6th - 6fed or 6ed, chwechfed
- 7th - 7fed or 7ed, saithfed
- 8th - 8fed or 8ed, wythfed
- 9th - 9fed or 9ed, nawfed
- 10th - 10fed or 10ed, degfed
Times are either written in the 24 hour clock or with hours and minutes separated by a colon or dot and suffixed by "y.b." (y bore) or "y.p." (y p'nawn), equivalent to "a.m." and "p.m.".
