Byddai…

Hi. Can I check…. Is Byddai i, Byddai fo etc used interchangeably for both “would” and “will”? I’m sure sometimes I’m hearing in the course it jumps between meanings! Think I’m getting myself in a knot…! :frowning:

Bydda i = I will
Byddai fo = he would

They are similar sounding, but the first is 1st person future tense (in this tense he will = bydd o) and the second is 3rd person conditional tense (in this tense I would = byddwn i), so they are not interchangeable.
