    5. Adjectives

    In Welsh the adjectives come after nouns, just like in the Romance languages. It is also important to have in mind that in Welsh adjectives agree with the nouns they change both in gender and in number.

    Example:

    Gwely bach
    Little bed*

    Da iawn
    Very good**

    * "Bach" is also a slang for "girl" in Welsh English
    ** Adverbs come after adjectives

    In most of cases. In order to turn an adjective into an adverb, one just needs to add the "yn" in front of the adjective.

    Example:

    Adjective: Araf (Slow)
    Adverb: Yn araf (Slowly)

    no, they come AFTER the noun, like in romance and celtic languages. and like romance languages and unlike gaelic, they conjugate in agreement with the noun they modify.

    True. I made a little confusion, thank you for pointing it out.

    Well, not quite. They're both Indo-European. Western Indo-European, at that. Beyond that there's no close rlationship, Welsh being a Celtic language and English a Germanic one.
