I was thinking about the “I’m after doing something” which places the speaker on a time-line after an event and I started wondering if there was an “I’m before doing something” as well?
Probably “I’m yet to do something” I suppose…
I don’t know about that, but you can certainly say “I’m without doing something” (dw i heb wneud) for “I haven’t done” (with an option on the ‘yet’) as an alternative to “I am not after” (dw i ddim wedi)

Automagic gives wrthot ti
Challenge eleven gives i ti
When the sentence say ask you. Is this where it can be either, automagic is the updated version, so i just thought l’d check.
Diolch.
Whether it’s gofyn i ti or gofyn wrthot ti comes up fairly frequently. E.g.
As I understand it, the first is more correct, and the second more colloquial and very common, so you’ll hear both and you can use both.
Thank you.
I’ve been seeing some cutesy cartoon Welsh dragons lately, and got to thinking about adjective order (“green great dragons can’t exist in English” etcetera). If I wanted to describe them in Welsh, would bach come before or after coch? And also do we mutate every adjective belonging to a feminine noun, or just the one right next to it?
Draig goch bach? Draig fach goch? Dreigiau cochion bach ciwt?
When ordering adjectives, it’s size - colour - quality, and for a single female noun, you have to mutate every adjective. So a “cute small red dragon” would be draig fach goch ciwt (I’d lean to not mutating the english-loaned ciwt to giwt)

Diolch, Hendrik 
While trying the new languages on the app, I’m also trying the Automagic Welsh course, from time to time (South again, sorry Gogs!) 
I just came across “You said”.
It sounded like “ddwedest ti” when I heard it, and now that the sentences can also be seen on the screen I can see it really is “ddwedest ti”.
I have to admit that when I did Level 1 I was completely lost and coufused with mutations, and I don’t remember how it was there. 
But now I would definitely say “dwedest ti” (dywedaist ti) unless it’s a question, a negative sentence or preceded by mi or fe, which is not the case here.
Any hints of why it so?

The ddwedaist comes from where the preceding fe has dropped off but left the mutation it caused. It’s common for that to happen in speech, but yes, to be technically correct a positive statement should be fe ddwedaist (mi ddwedaist in the N) or dwedaist if you’re not using the mi/fe.
