"Nac ydw, dw i ddim eisiau tatws."

Translation: No, I don't want potatoes.

[Teperehmi]

That is a straight up lie. I do want potatoes. Particularly mashed.

[mearek]

Utterly rubbish. I always want potatoes!

[spacebungle]

I wrote "potato" which was marked wrong. Would the singular be "taten"?

[xXBad_WolfXx]

"Tatws" is plural, so it was wrong, because the word is "potatoes" whilst plural.

[spacebungle]

Thanks, I have no qualms with it being marked wrong. I was just wondering what the singular version of the noun is?

[xXBad_WolfXx]

According to my dictionary, it's indeed "taten" :)

[RouaneB]

Lies. Potatoes are my lifeblood.

[brittalexiswm]

I would never say this!

[oneadventuree]

Dear Duolingo,
Dw i eisiau tatws.
Stop lying.

[jakinnguaq]

Tatties!

Is the /si/ in "eisiau" always pronounced with an esh? (/ʃ/) In the sped up version it sounds more like an /s/ and I'm wondering if that's an audio error or intended pronunciation.

[aellath]

that raises a question i've had in the back of my head - /s/ in Gaelic (irish and scots) surrounded by a narrow vowel like /i/ is pronounced /ʃ/. Granted that Welsh is p-gaelic and those two are q-gaelic (or the other way round?) - i was thinking the same rule would apply. But it doesn't seem consistent. is there a rule for figuring this type of thing out, or is it each word for itself?

[Mataro123]

I am no expert in Welsh, but I am more than sure that the pronunciation in the sped-up version was plainly wrong. To my knowledge eisiau is always pronounced either as isho or as isha depending on the dialect.

[RoscoeSnyd]

I think my translation of "no, i want no potatoes" is just as valid as Duolingo's. Granted, not many English speakers would say that but it is still grammatical and understandable.

[rmcode]

The negative of 'I want' is 'I do not want' or 'I don't want' which is the translation of 'dw i ddim eisiau'

Your suggestion is a different sentence 'dw i eisiau dim tatws'.

[TrevorElli9]

I 'don't want' is a perfectly acceptable alternative to ddim eisiau '
