Since they’re not included in the vocabulary, I can only give a phonetic spelling:
GAY-thoch (which I’m assuming means “did you have…?” plural or polite)
and NAY-thoch (which appears to mean “did you…?” plural or polite)
How are these actually spelled? Am I even hearing them correctly? And is there a good book with verb conjugations if I fall over things like this again?
Yep, they show up initially in Challenge 2. And no, they’re not in the vocabulary… nor are several other words. It just so happens that I know the dach chi form which was used a few times, but I’m sure a lot of people don’t.
I’m also guessing at (going phonetic here!) “gofyn ihdd-in nhw.” Am I anywhere near right? That’s also not in the vocab. What’s the word?
A word not being given in the vocabulary was less of a problem in Level 1 because both the explanation and speaking rates were quite a bit slower. Now they’ve picked up substantially, so it’s harder to discern contractions, elisions, and "what-the-heck-was-that?!"s.
I was thinking this myself, and thanks for confirming it Siaron! I’m on Level 2 south and have seen iddyn nhw quite and came to the conclusion it was being used the same as “i ti” or “i fi”. For example, is the following correct: “dw i’n moyn i ti siarad gyda fi” and “dw i’n moyn iddyn nhw siarad i fi”?. It’s amazing how the SSiW process just makes you see how to use things naturally.
