"Mae hi'n bum munud wedi pedwar."

Translation: It is five minutes past four.

[Willowfae]

In English we might also say 'It is 5 past 4'. Is this sometimes said in Welsh or do you ALWAYS have to add 'minutes'

[ibisc]

Keeping the munud in there is usual.

[PolMicheal]

Is there a grammatical reason that the "p" dropped off "pump"? I know the initial change is due to soft mutation but I'm not sure about this change.

[ibisc]

In the standard language pump, chwech and cant all drop the final letter before a noun, adjective etc ->; pum, chwe, can

This does not always happen in informal usage.

Diolch yn fawr iawn!
