Yeah, but you used byddat ti'n, does that even exist? :tongue:

I know I did, and I corrected myself in that post: 'byddi di'n'. I was thinking of conjugated prepositions like 'amdanat ti' and not of 'bod'.

38 is a big number!

The real papers are harder though, so I get less marks on them!

Uh huh

I don't like prepositions in Welsh, they can be quite weird and have odd meanings. :s

Like 'am' can sometimes mean 'for' when talking about a period of time for which something has been done. So:

Mae Siôn wedi chwarae rygbi am bum wythnos, ond mae fe'n credu ei fod e'n dda iawn!
(John has played rugby for five weeks, but he thinks he's fantastic!)

Evidently! I've just got 27/40 on June 2010 listening. However, that translates to an A and a UMS of 52/60, so not too awful, after all.

Have you heard it?

Seems fair enough!

I've never heard it, so I think of mermaids and little match-girls (Hans Christian Anderson), The Royal Danish Ballet, the Royal Family of Denmark (particularly a King Christian- can't remember the numeral) and the Danish resistance and the Danish evacuation of the Jews during WWII!

You put the possessives around the verb so:

I love you - dw i'n dy garu di
You love me - ti'n fy ngharu i
I love him/it (masculine noun) - dw i'n ei garu fe
I love her/it (fem) - dw i'n ei charu hi
They love us - maen nhw'n ein caru ni
We love you (plu) - yni'n eich caru chi
I love them - dw i'n eu caru nhw

你到哪儿上大学呀？有哪家大学让学生同时修商学和日语的？这个组合比较特别哦！
