hir-iaith | What is grammatical gender? (Tips for Welsh Learners) @hiriaith | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
If you're learning Welsh, you're probably a native speaker of English, which is one of the only European languages that doesn't have grammatical genders, but Welsh does!
In this video I explain what grammatical gender REALLY IS to help you get your head around the concept and make it easier for you to learn the actual rules later.
I also give you some tips and tricks on how to learn, record, and memorise the gender of Welsh words.
I include comparisons to other European languages and some general insights from linguistics.
