Ciccio to kick

Can anyone help please? What is the second person singular if this verb in the present tense please?

“You are kicking” is " 'wyt ti’n cicio"

I was about to write something, but I saw Siaron replying at the same time so I’m going to let her go for the serious answer and show how easier Welsh verbs are compared to many other European languages. :wink:

I just can’t help adding a silly note, cause when I read this topic title I was a bit confused.

Don’r forget: never ti always chi with Ciccio or it’s going to be trouble! :sunglasses: :grin:

Random thing: I thought “you are kicking” would be “ti’n cicio”, and adding “wyt”, as in “wyt ti’n cicio”, made it a question. Or is there some use of “wyt” I’m not familiar with? :thinking:

Yes… kind of. In the usage that I’ve learnt through SSiW & TV etc, I’d make the same distinction that you do - but that’s really because we’re just casually dropping wyt from the statement. (I can do the same - but with the question - in very casual English - “You coming, or what?”)

Written Welsh (and some speakers) has the special form rwyt for the statement (and wyt for the question), but most speakers just use the same wyt for both - and then commonly miss it out (from the statement) anyway!

(Someone said on the forum ages ago that SSiW teaches us to speak like the people our mothers told us to stay away from…)

yes, what Rich said - the wyt is technically there in both a positive statement and a question but we tend to leave it out when saying a positive statement.
