    Is there any determination of the order of the adjectives? Would "Dw i eisiau crys newydd t" also be correct?

      adjectives always have to be after the noun.

        But, as I understand it, both "t" and "newydd" are being used as adjectives here. Which comes first, is what I'm asking.

          "T" acts as an adjective to "crys", but when you add the adjective "newydd", "crys t" becomes an object. You wouldn't say "T new shirt" in English, the same way you wouldn't say "crys newydd t" in Cymraeg.

            Thanks, that makes a lot more sense.
