From Middle Welsh bot, from Proto-Celtic *butā, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to be, become”); all the b- initial forms are from the same root.

The vowel-initial forms as well as sy(dd) are from Proto-Indo-European *h₁es- (“to be”).

• Bod is the primary auxiliary verb in Welsh, used to form a great number of tenses; see Appendix:Welsh conjugation.
• The two conditional tenses can be opted between freely.
• The preterite is relatively rare and mostly interchangeable with the imperfect.
• In the tenses given here, all forms of bod must be linked to a noun, adjective or verb with yn, wedi, or some other similar particle.
• Bod introduces a subordinate clause only when the corresponding main clause would begin with a form of bod (the verb ‘to be’) in the present or imperfect tense.
• Nouns are preceded with bod, or fod if the preceding verb is conjugated.

• bod am (“to want”)
