RHAN 1

	1.	These forms convey ‘shall / will’  e.g. the concise forms ‘I shall / will go’
			as opposed to the longer forms ‘I will be going’.

		The 1st person singular ending is  -af, but we Welsh are rather lazy about 
		pronouncing this final ’f’.  This ending is added to the stem of all regular
		verbs.

				cysgu			Fe gysgaf i	-	I shall sleep
				codi			Mi goda' i	-	I’ll get up
				bwyta			Fe fwyta' i	-	I shall eat
				yfed			Mi yfa' i		- 	I’ll drink
				gyrru			Fe yrra' i		-	I shall drive
				cerdded		Mi gerdda' i	-	I shall walk
				prynu			Fe bryna' i	-	I’ll buy

					Fe yrra' i i'r gwaith.
					- I shall drive to work.

					Fe gerdda' i i'r gwaith.
					- I shall walk to work.

					Fe ddalia' i'r trên / bws i'r gwaith.
				- I shall catch the train / bus to work.

	2.	The 2nd person endings are  -i di (familiar) and  -wch chi (formal and 
			plural)

				cysgu			Fe gysgi di	-	you shall sleep
				codi			Mi godwch chi	-	you’ll get up
				bwyta			Fe fwyti di	-	you’ll eat
				yfed			Mi yfwch chi	- 	you shall drink
				gyrru			Fe yrri di	-	you shall drive
				cerdded		Mi gerddwch chi	-	you’ll walk
				prynu			Fe bryni di	-	you’ll buy

					Pryd codi di?	
					Pryd codwch chi?
					-When will you get up?

					Beth fwyti di?	
					Beth fwytwch chi?
					- What will you eat?

				Am faint o'r gloch codi di yfory?

					- I shall eat toast for breakfast.

	3.	Notice the ‘h’ in the stem of the verb ‘cyrraedd’  (cyrhaedd-)

				Am faint o'r gloch cyrhaeddi di'r gwaith?
				Am faint o'r gloch cyrhaeddwch chi'r gwaith?
				- At what time will you arrive at work?

				Fe gyrhaedda' i'r gwaith am naw o'r gloch.
				- I shall arrive at work at nine o'clock.

		4. 	Note the change in the stem of the verb ’gadael’  (‘gadew-‘)

					Fe adewa' i		-	I shall leave
					Fe adewch chi	-	You’ll leave

					Am faint o'r gloch gadewi di'r tþ?
				Am faint o'r gloch gadewch chi'r tþ?
				- At what time will you leave the house?

				Fe adewa' i'r tþ am wyth o'r gloch.
				- I shall leave the house at eight o'clock.
