What is Mr in Welsh?

There isn't a direct equivalent of "Mr" in Welsh. You would use the person's title before their name instead.

Here are some options depending on the context:

* For a man:

* Mr (formal, but not common in Welsh): "Mr" is sometimes used, especially in formal settings, but it's not the most common way to address someone.

* Y[name] (most common): You would simply use the man's name preceded by "Y" (pronounced "ee") for "the" in Welsh.

* [Title] [Name]: For example, "Doctor Jones", "Professor Williams", "Mr Jones" (less common), "Sir Jones" (if he's a knight).

* For a woman:

* Ms (formal): "Ms" is becoming more common, especially in formal settings.

* Mrs [Last Name]: This is used when referring to a married woman.

* Miss [Last Name]: This is used when referring to an unmarried woman.

* [Title] [Name]: For example, "Doctor Jones", "Professor Williams", "Ms Jones".

Example:

Instead of "Mr. Jones," you would say "Y Jones" (pronounced "ee Jones") in Welsh.

Remember, using titles in Welsh is more about conveying respect and formality than having a direct equivalent of "Mr".
