"Dw i'n nofio yn Y Drenewydd."

Translation: I swim in Newtown.

[Robert_Andersson]

If "to" is listed as a possible translation of "yn", why is "I am swimming to Newtown" an incorrect translation "Dw i'n nofio yn Y Drenewydd"?

[Woldemar_Lut]

And how can I say: "I am swimming to Newtown" in Welsh?

[DamonLordAuthor]

Should the Y before Drenewydd necessarily be capitalised?

[EinarSig]

I think you do because it's a name.

[Ieuan-Jones]

Why isn't I am swimming in Newtown allowed?

[EinarSig]

It's a mistake. Report it.

What's the difference between "yn" and "mewn"?

[AlanNason]

I try to remember it this way -If there's a a hint of meaning 'inside', it's mewn: dw i'n gweithio mewn fattri/swyddfa -I work in(side) a factory/office. Hope it helps.

[di9langue]

It does help, thank you.

[eAnnAe]

"Mewn" is used before non-specific nouns eg "mewn siop" = "in a shop", or "mewn siopau" = "in shops". "Yn" is used before specific nouns eg "yn y siop" = "in the shop" and "yn y siopau" = "in the shops"

I don't know almost all of these places in Englsh :D

Newtown must've gotten a lot of rain.

Having been a frequent visitor to Newtown, this is entirely possible.
