=== Etymology ===
From Middle Welsh nos, according to Matasovic, a loanword from Latin nox (“night”), but according to Falileyev, from Old Welsh nos, from Proto-Celtic *noxt-stu-, a suffixed form of *noxs (“night”) (the expected Welsh descendant of this would be **noeth).

=== Noun ===
nos f (uncountable, not mutable)
night, evening
==== Usage notes ====
Nos (“night, evening”) generally refers to the uncountable period of darkness. The word is also used with the names of evenings and nights of days of the week, with holiday and festival names and in the phrase Nos da (“Good night”). It is therefore the opposite of dydd (“day”).
yn ystod y nos ― during the night
nos Wener ― Friday evening/night
Nos Galan ― New Year's Eve
Noson (“night, evening”), on the other hand, is countable and refers to an individual evening or night and so is the word used when employing a qualifying numeral or adjective. It sits in contrast to the word diwrnod (“day”).
noson wych ― a great evening/night
tair noson ― three nights
Noswaith (“evening”) is used in phrase Noswaith dda (“Good evening”). It is also synonymous to noson in some southern dialects.
(South Wales) tair noswaith ― three nights
