===Welsh=== In the [[Welsh language]], the terms for "euro" and "cent" are {{lang|cy|ewro}} {{IPA|cy|ˈɛurɔ|}} (plural: ''{{lang|cy|ewros}}'' {{IPA|cy|ˈɛurɔs, ˈɛurɔz|}})<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Geiriadur Prifysgol Cymru - euro|url=http://welsh-dictionary.ac.uk/gpc/gpc.html?euro|access-date=|website=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=BydTermCymru - ewro|url=https://llyw.cymru/bydtermcymru/search/term/166827906|access-date=|website=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Porth Termau Cenedlaethol Cymru - ewro|url=http://termau.cymru/#ewro|access-date=|website=}}</ref> and ''{{lang|cy|sent}}'' {{IPA|cy|sɛnt|}} (plural: ''{{lang|cy|sentiau}}'' {{IPA|cy|ˈsɛntjaɨ, ˈsɛntjai|}})<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=BydTermCymru - sent|url=https://llyw.cymru/bydtermcymru/search/term/166821291|access-date=|website=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Geiriadur yr Academi - cent|url=https://geiriaduracademi.org|access-date=|website=}}</ref> respectively. Grammatical points to note about their usage include the fact that in Welsh, numerals are followed by singular nouns, for example, ''{{lang|cy|pum ewro}}'' "five euros", {{lang|cy|deg sent}} "ten cents", and that {{lang|cy|ewro}} is a masculine noun whereas {{lang|cy|sent}} is feminine, thus affecting the form of the numeral that precedes them, for example, {{lang|cy|tri ewro}} "three euros" but {{lang|cy|tair sent}} "three cents". Informally, the more Anglicised pronunciation {{IPA|cy|ˈɪurɔ|}} may be used, written either with the standard spelling or as ''{{lang|cy|iwro}}''<ref>{{cite web|url=https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/wales.cymraeg/MxybMcdO8OY|title=Google Groups|website=groups.google.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://scarletfever.org/forum/gwaharddiad-byrne-newyddion-eto_topic22994.html|title=Gwaharddiad Byrne..Newyddion eto ?|website=Scarlet Fever, Scarlets Rugby Forum, Llanelli|accessdate=3 August 2023}}</ref> or English ''{{lang|cy|euro}}.''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ygbmalmaen.blogspot.com/2012/06/this-is-jodi-my-blog-is-not-working.html|title=Ysgol Gyfun Bro Morgannwg yn yr Almaen|last=HarrietElias}}</ref> The word {{lang|cy|euro}} {{IPA|cy|ˈɛɨrɔ, ˈɛirɔ|}},<ref name=":1" /> however, is a separate word in Welsh meaning "to gild" (from ''{{lang|cy|aur}}'' "gold"). It should also be noted that the Welsh abbreviation ''{{lang|cy|c}}'' stands for ''{{lang|cy|ceiniog}}'' "[[Penny|penny, pence]]".
