Usage notes
In formal Welsh, the contraction cy 'i is a valid form of cy ei found after mostly functional vowel-final words. In colloquial Welsh, cy ei is often contracted to cy 'i after almost any vowel-final word.
Pronomial cy 'i (and cy ei) can occur before any verbal noun. Before a verb, pronomial cy 'i is found only in formal language after certain vowel-final preverbal particles, such as cy fe, cy a and cy y. After certain vowel-final preverbal particles, such as cy ni, cy na, cy oni and cy pe, cy -s is used instead.
After the preposition cy i to, the contraction changes to cy i’w.
