• The two conditional tenses can be opted between freely.
• The preterite is relatively rare and mostly interchangeable with the imperfect.
• In the tenses given here, all forms of bod must be linked to a noun or verb with yn, wedi, or some other similar particle.

Conjunction

bod (Verb functioning as conjunction)

1. That is, that are etc (personal forms: mod i, fod ti, fod e/o, bod hi, bod ni, bod chi, bod nhw)

Usage notes

• Bod is used as 'that' only when the clause to be made dependent begins with a form of 'bod' (the verb 'to be') in the present tense.
• Nouns can take either bod or fod, regardless of gender.
