Dialogue Script dialogue that introduces new vocabulary and uses a command at least once. Welsh Vocabulary Vocabulary to incorporate: ar y chwith - on the left ar y dde - one the right i'r chwith - to the left i'r dde - to the right Grammar To be properly formatted? To give a command or instructions, you need to find the stem of the verb, as you do with short form verbs. On the whole, if the verb finishes with a consonant, add the ending -wch (chi) or -a (ti) to the whole word: Edrychwch, Darllenwch, Eisteddwch Edrycha, Darllena, Eistedda Or, if it finishes with a vowel, drop the last vowel before adding the suffix: Codi > Codwch/Coda Ffonio > Ffoniwch/Ffonia However, there are some irregular stems. If the word ends with -ed or -eg, thi ending will be dropped: Cerdded > Cerddwch/Cerdda Rhedeg > Rhedewch/Rheda Some verbs are slightly different Troi > Trowch/Tro Rhoi > Rhowch/Rho As usual, the verbs mynd, dod, and gwneud are irregular: Mynd > Ewch/Cer Dod > Dewch/Dere Gwneud > Gwnewch/Gwna Peidio â - (Not to) has an aspirate mutation following the letters T, C, and P. Peidiwch â mynd. Peidiwch â thalu. (from talu - to pay) Paid â chodi. (from codi - to get up/raise) Paid â phoeni. (from poeni - to worry) Â becomes ag before a vowel: Paid ag agor y drws. Review Remove the stem, and add -wch for a formal command; add -a for an informal command. Some stems and commands are irregular. Learn them as you go along.
