Review
[edit | edit source]- Of the 9 letters that mutate, the first six (C, P, T, B, D, G) can also undergo the Nasal Mutation.
- Yn (in) and Fy (my, possessive adjective) cause a Nasal Mutation.
- While in English we say, I have something, Welsh uses the pattern, There is something with me. Mae in Welsh translates as 'There is' or 'There are'. Mae plant gyda fi for example. To ask the question, use the interrogative version of mae, oes. Oes plant gyda chi?
- To answer an Oes question, use Oes for 'Yes, there is' or 'Yes, there are'. Nac oes is the negative version, for 'No, there isn't' or 'No, there aren't'.
