Cornish usually has a double negative where ‹hwath› v. ‹na hwath› is concerned. So, in the negative it’s correct to say ‹Ny alla’vy gweles an chi na hwath.› ‘I can’t see the house yet.’ Generally ‹hwath› means “still” and in a negative sentence ‹na hwath› means “(not) yet“. So, ‹My a yll hwath gweles a chi.› means “I can still see the house.“ So, if you want to swap “still” and “yet” around you might have to use different expressions to get your meaning across, like ‹na fella› ‘no further, no longer’, or ‹na moy› ‘no more’. There are many ways to say “Thank you”. The most common one is ‹Meur ras dhywgh hwi›. Thanking “for” something is introduced with the preposition ‹a› ‘of’, so “Thank you for this” would be ‹Meur ras dhywgh hwi a hemma› or “Thank you for it.” is ‹Meur ras dhywgh hwi anodho!› - “Thank you for your help.” ‹Meur ras dhywgh a weres dhymm.›
