What's with the yn

[JohanAulin]

Yeah, I don't recall that being explained.

[balbhan]

It's an untranslatable grammatical particle used with a verb in the present tense. This sentence is word-for-word "am I not yn liking Dylan". When yn follows a word ending in a vowel, it gets shortened to 'n. dw i'n (I am) vs. dw i ddim yn (I am not).

It's unrelated to the other yn, which means "in", and can be told apart from context.

Eisiau (want) and anghen (need) are nouns rather than verbs, so they don't take yn. Dw i eisau - "I am [with] desire".

[JohanAulin]

Thanks! That clears it up. :)

Is it just me or does it not show up on the audio?

[p8c]

dw i yn hoffi dylan! "do not go gentle into that good night..."

[Dan_AKI]

Why was "I do not like you Dylan" wrong?
