Main Grammatical Points

Like the concise forms of the past tense ending are added to the stem of verbs for example:

Gweld stem is gwel 	

Fe or Mi welai 				I’ll see
Fe or Mi weli di				You’ll see
Fe or Mi weliff e in south Wales 		He’ll see
Mi welith o in north Wales		He’ll see
Fe weliff hi (S Wales)			She’ll see
Mi weliff hi ((NW)			She’ll see
Fe or Mi welwn ni			We’ll see
Fe or mi welwch chi			You’ll see
Fe or Mi welan nhw			They’ll see

The negatives are formed by dropping the Fe or Me and adding ddim.  For example

Wela i ddim		I won’t see

Note that verbs beginning with P, T or C take the Aspirate Mutation

Phryna i ddim
Chlywa i ddim
Thala i ddim

Note also that when these short form verbs have definite objects they’re followed by mo or mo’r.  Note the difference between these two sentences

I didn’t see a boy and I didn’t see the boy.  In the first sentence the object is indefinite
Welais i ddim bachgen and in the second is definite Welais i mo’r bachgen

When the object is a pronoun the following forms are used:

Mono i
Monot ti 
mono fe/mono fo
monon ni
monoch chi
monyn nhw

For example 
Welais i moni hi
Phrynais i mono fo.

Questions are formed by dropping the Mi or Fe and adopt a questioning tone of voice.

Ddarlleni di’r llyfr?  		Will you read the book?
Bryni di’r car yna?		Will you buy that car?
Ofynni di iddi hi?		Will you ask her?

Yes and no answers are generally Gwna /Na wna; Gwnei/ Na wnei
Gwnaiff/Na wnaiff; Gwnawn/Na wnawn; Gwnewch/Na wnewch; Gwnân/Na wnân

For example:  
Bryniff hi’r car			Gwnaiff
Weli di o			Gwna
Adawan nhw’r tŷ’n gynnar	Na wnân

You will however sometimes find that answers will repeat the verb form.

Ddysgi di – Dysga or Na ddysga

Ysbyty Brynaber: Episode 177

Brian calls at the Yacht Club on his way home from work.  He talks to Arwyn about Wendy’s behaviour.  Brain makes a quick exit when Arwyn tells him that he had seen Agnes the previous day.

Agnes has invited Jac Whelan to her house for supper.  He tells her that he has not seen Brian all week.  The main reason being the fact that he is infatuated with his new family.

Agnes tells Jac that she finds him a great comfort to her.

Arwyn is in bed.  He’s again drunk.  He drops a lit cigarette on the duvet.  The room is ablaze.
