Sut - shud? sit?

Probably not what @markie-1 wanted, but I’ve just found:

Tangnefedd yr Arglwydd a fo gyda chwi bob amser

for “The Peace of the Lord be always with you”.

(Not sure how up to date that stuff is; the wording of the English looked a bit old fashioned…bit like the English translations of the Latin used to look like in the 1950s and early 60s when I was an altar server; there have been several revisions since those days).

“chwi” is literary Welsh (for “chi”), and I suspect the “fo” is some sort of subjunctive of “bod”, but you’d expect that sort of thing in religious Welsh, even if it’s not chapel! :wink:

Not exactly sure what you are exactly wanting to say, but what about this:
bendithion i chi/ti - Blessings to you. ‘Chi’ is formal or a plural ‘you,’ as in “You all,” a Southern US term when speaking to a group. ‘Ti’ is the informal, which you’ve learned.

They teach “sit” in primary school here in Cardiff but everyone I know who is a Welsh speaker says “Shud”

I’m a bit late to this party, but I wanted to mention that I’ve found Wiktionary to provide pretty good listings of standard & colloquial pronunciations along with alternative forms. “Sut” (at the following link) is one of the words I remember checking out while doing Level 1, along with “eisiau”, “bwyta” and more.

One caveat is that this will involve looking up (or knowing) the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), which I don’t mind. An IPA-free option is to listen to the pronunciations at forvo.com, but the coverage there seems significantly more limited.
