Do they also believe the world is flat :D ? Meh. Believe me, there still are those people... If they live in Kansas, it's an understandable mistake. Everything around them IS flat. :mrgreen: From Feij's thread about people being stupid for not believing that the world revolves around the sun.

And because it has lenition and eclips abit everywhere, depending on your dialect. Same for Welsh--except where Irish has lenition and eclipsis, Welsh has the soft mutation, the nasal mutation, and the aspirate mutation.

Dewrad and I have said it before: Your biggest single problem is carrying around the default assumption that Welsh works like English. Unless you've been explicitly instructed otherwise, you assume that the syntax will be exactly the same. As you can see, it's not a safe assumption. Celtic language...

Bod is the only verb that conjugates in the present tense. No it isn't. What are the other ones? It was meant to be a kind of question because I was unsure myself. troi nhw at Cymraeg dyn ni'n tr?o "Turning them to Welsh is what we're attempting". My bad.

I'd say teg ydy linguoboy , rather than using mae . Both are grammatical, however. Is that because teg is a predicate adjective? I assume with other fronted elements (e.g. yfory , yn yr ardd , dim byth , ac ati) you would use mae , yn byddet? . Exactly so- for example "yn yr ardd mae ('na) y ci"- t...

I could, but I won't, due to not being arsed. However, a swift Google search turns up this site, which has plenty of grammar information.

Thats cool. Thanks.

Wasnt sure about word order... Generally Welsh is VSO though the basic sentence is; Mae X yn X Though yn can be replaced by any preposition.
