Oh, really? Mae'r ddôr yn cysgu ar y gwningen.

The word for "understand" is deall (colloquially, also dallt). That's what was missing from your sentence.

I see. So I should have said something along the lines of "nag ydw deall" -- or is that missing something else?
I notice you haven't yet given your opinion on the door that sleeps on the rabbit.

Turns out Google Translate made slightly better hash out of Linguoboy's post when I told it to detect Persian than when I told it to detect Arabic. It came out with:

So, what about this fardsy novel that you bought yesterday? Ydy'r gath yn cysgu ar y gwely?

Take the sentence I linked to, then add what's needed to negate it. Here, I'll give you another example:

"Wyt ti'n pwyso yn erbyn y ddôr?"
"Nag ydw, dw i ddim yn pwyso yn erbyn y ddôr! Paid â fy nwrdio fi!"
"Dydw i ddim yn dwrdio!"


You didn't screw anything up there.

I'm not sure what all that about the door is, but I guess you wanted me to say:

Have I finally got it right this time?

Well, that's good, anyway. I thought maybe you'd be wondering why the door was sleeping on the rabbit, but I suppose it doesn't matter.

What parts don't you understand?


Da iawn!


It's pretty clear you're just substituting words you know without any real effort to make sense.

I've bolded them.

Thanks.

What do you suggest I do instead? Welsh is, at this point, one of the languages I don't know how to make sense in. I don't know how to say (write), for example, "what's your name?" or "how old are you?" or "I can't find the car keys!" or anything useful like that. I'm not even very good at answering polar questions. However, I can say "the fat cats were sleeping on the door" or something equally irrelevant, so I just do that. (Okay, I can also say "I should be in bed", etc., but I don't feel like saying that more times than necessary.)

All of these words can be found in this dictionary I linked to earlier. (Nwrdio is the nasal mutation of dwrdio.)


Follow the Catchphrase course on the BBCWales website. It's free, it's fun, and it will teach you all the useful things you want to know. For instance:

"what's your name?
"how old are you?"

I'll have to look in there when I'm done fixing my font for ELL.

I figured as much.

I'll have to look into those sometime. Until then, I'll put a lid on it.
