Etymology 2[edit]

Inherited from the stressed nominative of Latin nōs (“we; us”); see Etymology 1. Replaced in normal usage by nosaltres. For the development of a distinction between stressed and unstressed forms of what was originally a single word, compare Portuguese nós and nos. See also the parallel development in Spanish of nosotros.

Usage notes[edit]

When used in the plural genitive, nostrī is used when it is the object of an action, especially when used with a gerund or gerundive. When used in such a construction, the gerund or gerundive takes on the masculine genitive singular. Nostrum is used as a partitive genitive, used in constructions such as (one of us).

Noun[edit]

nos f (uncountable, not mutable)

night, evening

Usage notes[edit]

Nos (“night, evening”) generally refers to the uncoutable period of darkness. The word is also used with the names of evenings and nights of days of the week, with holiday and festival names and in the phrase Nos da (“Good night”). It is therefore the opposite of dydd (“day”).

yn ystod y nos ― during the night

nos Wener ― Friday evening/night

Nos Galan ― New Year's Eve

Noson (“night, evening”), on the other hand, is countable and refers to an individual evening or night and so is the word used when employing a qualifying numeral or adjective. It sits in contrast to the word diwrnod (“day”).

noson wych ― a great evening/night

tair noson ― three nights

Noswaith (“evening”) is used in phrase Noswaith dda (“Good evening”). It is also synonymous to noson in some southern dialects.

(South Wales) tair noswaith ― three nights
