Past conditional

Hi
Does this work as a sentence?

“Hoffet ti ddim bod wedi bod yna”

Diolch
Mike

In theory, I don’t see why not, though it sounds a bit weird. If I were going to say “You wouldn’t have liked to be there”, which I assume is the translation, I would tend to say the longer version “Fyddet ti ddim wedi hoffi bod yna”

Thanks Deborah. Yes, it does sound rather weird, which is why I wondered. The exercise I am doing asks for the translation using the short form conditional though, otherwise I would have used the option you gave.
