"Beth yw enw eich mam chi?"

Translation: What is your mother's name?

[AlfieTroopersInn]

Mam is the Welsh word for mother, mom is not a translation

[Jimmymick]

Probably because Mom isnt a word in uk English.

[NicDafis]

Reported to accept "mother".

I should probably give up on the idea of Testing Out of 12 skills; currently on my third attempt, and all my errors have been in choosing the wrong English synonym.

Is 'yw' south Wales Welsh?

[AdeB13]

As I understand it "yw" and "ydy" are pretty well interchangeable - tend to use "yw" but I'm a tutor/learner in South Wales!

[shwmae]

Yes, they're mostly interchangeable. Yw* is used colloquially in south Wales, and also in the formal language. Ydy** is found colloquially more in the north.

[CivisRomanus]

Is  beth ydy enw eich mam chi?  correct, as well?

[shwmae]

Yes: ydy = yw here.

[CivisRomanus]

Thank you.

[Lewis-Helen]

That i would translate as what is your mothers name as well as your mum's name. An earlier sentence penalised me for using Ydych chi not. Dych chi.
That was also correct.

[Ash473779]

The structure of this sentence is different from " beth yw eich enw chi?"
Going on that example, could I also say "Beth yw eich enw mam chi?" Or would this sound like nonsense? Thanks.

That looks like "What is your mother-name?" to me.

I'm not sure what a mother-name is -- perhaps when you are from a culture where women receive a new name when they bear their first child, and you are asking a women for this new "mother-name"?

The "your" in Duo's sentence goes with "your mother", not "your name", so enw eich mam for "name (of) your mother" rather than "your name-of-mother".

I understand, thanks for the reply
