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).

nos WenerFriday evening/night
Nos GalanNew 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 wycha great evening/night
tair nosonthree nights
  • Noswaith (evening) is used in phrase Noswaith dda (Good evening). It is also synonymous to noson in some southern dialects.
