â

1. with
2. (instrumental) with, by means of

 traditionally triggers the aspirate mutation, but in speech this may be absent. Before vowels, ag is used instead, except in some colloquial versions of the language where it remains â.

In the colloquial language â meaning “with” is mostly used after verbs such as cwrdd (“meet”), priodi (“marry”), ymweld (“visit”). The synonyms gyda or efo are used more generally.

Note especially the forms mynd â (“take”, literally “go with”) and dod â (“bring”, literally “come with”). Compare:

• Es i â fy mam at y meddyg ― I took my mother to the doctor [I transported her]
• Es i at y meddyg gyda fy mam ― I went to the doctor with my mother [she accompanied me]

No personal inflections.
