Hi, I’ve got a few questions about lesson 21, can anyone help?
Your mother told me that I shouldn’t ask - ddudodd dy fam wrthaf fi NA ddylwn I ddim gofyn - I saw in the notes that NA = not (when used to negate a subsequent phrase), my question is where is the BOD for ‘that’? Am I missing something?
Also I saw someone in the pub who said that she knew my mom - nes I gyfarfod rhywun yn y dafarn A?ddudod bod hi’n nabod fy mam. - what is the ‘A’?
Diolch yn fawr pawb,i helpu fi. dw i’n mwynhau dysgu Cymraeg. Dw’in meddwl bod SSIW yn dda iawn.
What you’ve really got happening here is that ‘na ddylwn i ddim’ equates to ‘that I should not’ - so here, we don’t need a separate ‘bod’ for the ‘that’ - languages don’t match neatly, so you really just have to roll with this kind of stuff - it will, in due course, end up feeling familiar to you…
With ‘a ddudodd’ - it’s one of those ‘just how it is’ things - if you don’t say it, you’ll be fine and everyone will understand, and lots of people wouldn’t say it - so we’re just giving you some exposure to extra ways of saying things that you will hear from time to time…
