"July"

Translation: mis Gorffennaf

[Erated8]

Anybody Else Think This Sounds Like A Russian Name?

[LydiaNoggelox]

I don't remember having to use 'mis' before each month when I learned Welsh in high school. It's 17 years ago though so could just be memory going me. Is it necessary?

[ibisc]

It is better to use mis to avoid confusion with other meanings. The mis is often dropped with dates, though, as the context makes things clear. For example:

• Mawrth - Mars
• dydd Mawrth - Tuesday
• mis Mawrth - March
• yr ail o [fis Mawrth/Fawrth] - the 2nd of March
• medi - harvesting, reaping
• mis Medi - September
