Welsh for signs

Welsh General / Questions
1

I am running an attraction for a charity in North Wales. I need to produce some signs for it and as ever money is tight. I will use Helo Blod to check most of them, but there is something I would like to check here as I can give more context rather than I can with Helo Blod (and it will also help me learn for the future).

I want a sign that offers people a chance to drive a tractor. On my English sign I have “Drive a Tractor”. For the Welsh equivalent do I need to use the imperative (command) form - so “Gyrrwch Tractor” - even though it is offering an opportunity rather than commanding people to do it?

Any help is very much appreciated - we simply can’t afford a professional translation.

If you’ve got enough room on the sign, ‘Tyrd i ddreifio tractor’ might seem a bit cheerier :slight_smile:

And thank you for making the effort to be dwyieithog!

Many thanks for that. I’d like to make all the signage bi-lingual, but am not confident enough of my written Welsh to do it on my own and so the need to use Helo Blod.
