Extension summary

hir-iaith Hi-lite, a grammar-first reading companion for Welsh learners.

Hi-lite is a tool to analyse words in context and to learn their use. It helps you understand not only what individual words mean, but also their grammatical function in sentences, their different forms, and why their form changes.

It displays the part of speech of each word in selected sentences, colour-coded and flagged via icons for ease of use. Depending on the word, it also shows other grammatical information, such as tense, grammatical person, gender, etc.

It can also detect Welsh mutations in selected sentences and provide the grammatical rule governing each mutation.

When you install this extension, you will be able to:

• Call it to action in any website you are visiting. • Highlight words, sentences, or paragraphs to be analysed by simply selecting them with your cursor. • Loop through different possibilities for each of the Welsh words selected, with helpful information cards that give you a lot of grammatical detail. • Search the Welsh dictionary database that is included in the extension, with almost 500 thousand entries. • Customise the look of your extension, from word sizes, colours, and icons to the option of detecting and displaying literary conjugation of verbs.
