You may have wondered whether tackling questions with both positive and negative areas in the same calculation can be done more easily on a calculator or suitable computer application.

Note the following useful expressions which use gyda/’da: Mae’n ddrwg ‘da fi - I’m sorry. Mae’n dda ‘da fi - I’m pleased. Does dim ots ‘da fe (often shortened to ‘sdim ots)- He doesn’t mind. Does dim syniad ‘da fi - I’ve no idea. Gen i - In some areas of Wales, especially in the North, you will hear these forms in place of gyda/’da: gen i gynnon ni gen ti gynnoch chi gynno fo gynnyn nhw gynni hi. Mae gen i ddwy ferch - I have two daughters. Mae gynno fo dri mab - He has three sons. Mae gynnon ni dy mawr - We have a big house. As you can see from these examples, gen i etc. is placed straight after mae. When used in this position, gen i, gen ti etc. are followed by a soft mutation. Regional differences are discussed in more detail in Appendix 1.

In the west we say north, south, east, west but the Chinese start with dōng ( east ) and say dōng、nán ( south )、 xī ( west )、 běi ( north ). South-west in Chinese is xīnán (west, south), north-east is dōngběi ( lit. east, north) and so on.
