Main Grammatical Points

Future Perfect tense – Bydda i wedi

Jenny says:	Pan fydd nature wedi cymryd ei chwrs
		When nature will have taken its course

Bydd …wedi is an example of the future perfect tense, will have done something

The full forms are:

Bydda i wedi			I will have
Byddi di wedi			You will have
Bydd e/o wedi			He will have
Bydd hi wedi			She will have
Byddwn ni wedi			We will have
Byddwch chi wedi 		You will have
Byddan nhw wedi		They will have

The negative form: Fydda i ddim wedi
And the question form Fydda i wedi?  follow the usual pattern

Fyddi di wedi gorffen gwaith erbyn chwech o’r gloch?
Will you have finished work by six o’clock?
Bydda or Na Fydda

Note also that in speech wedi is invariably shortened to ‘di

Dw i ’di blino for dw i wedi blino
Wyt ti ’di weld e for wyt ti wedi ei weld e
Doedd e ddim ’di gofyn for doedd e ddim wedi gofyn

These are subtle differences but look out for them.  

We’ve already noted the number of ways that the word because is expressed in Welsh.  In this week’s episode the form ‘gan’ followed by ‘bod’ is prevalent.

Gan +bod

Jenny says:

Gan fod eich pwysau gwaed chi mor uchel
Because you’re blood pressure is so high

Jac Whelan says: 
Gan fy mod i wedi dod i fyw i’r ardal
Because I’ve come to the area to live
Gan fod - because

Munud/eiliad

As you know nouns in Welsh are either classified as masculine or feminine in Welsh.  

From time to time you might have noted that characters use masculine and feminine forms for the same nouns:

Munud; Generally in north Wales munud is masculine
Fydda i yna mewn dau funud

In south Wales however you’ll hear dwy funud
Fydda i yna mewn dwy funud.
 
The same is true of eiliad a second
Tri eiliad is heard in the North but tair eiliad in the south.

And now some more useful words and expressions:
