Week 19 - Main grammatical points
Commands
Commands feature regularly in the dialogues. It's worth having a quick look at them.
The plural commands are formed by adding - wch to the stem of the verb.
Eisteddwch
Gwrandewch
Brysiwch
Cofiwch
Dod, mynd, gwneud and bod are irregular forms
Dewch
Ewch
Gwnewch
Byddwch yn dawel
The second person singular is formed by adding -a to the stem of the verb
Eistedda
Gwranda
Brysia
Cofia
Dod, mynd, gwneud and bod are again irregular
Dere (South Wales)
Tyrd (North Wales)
Cer (South Wales)
Dos (North Wales)
Gwna
Bydda'n dawel or Bydd yn dawel
Cyn i/Ar ôl i
'Cyn i' - before and 'Ar ôl i' after are two important phrases which are always followed by the verb noun whatever tense is used.
For example
'Cyn i fi fynd' can mean 'before I go'.
But when used in a past tense context the meaning changes.
Roedd e wedi cyrraedd cyn i fi fynd.
He had arrived before I left
Ar ôl i fi weiddi daeth hi yn ôl
After I shouted she came back.
Casáu
You've probably come across the form 'Mae'n gas gen i' or 'Mae'n gas 'da fi' meaning 'I dislike' or even stronger I hate.
You will also hear the form - casáu
Dw i'n casáu
Dw in casáu pêl-droed
Dw in casáu canu pop
