"Gaeth dynion eu harestio yn Abertawe."

Translation: Men were arrested in Swansea.

[Sarah-Cheung]

Hmm, does it mean some/several men were arrested? "Men were arrested" sounds a bit strange to me. But I'm not sure. I'm not native in English. Any thoughts?

[Mwsogl]

I am a native English speaker and it sounds a little odd to me too. As you say, there would normally be some indication of number, e.g. "Three men were arrested..." Probably best to just think of it as practising a pattern rather than a sentence you will hear in real life.

[Sarah-Cheung]

I agree. Thank you!

[Banma48]

I translated as "some men" and that was accepted

[Squonkalini]

Why isn't it "gaethon?"

[Mwsogl]

Because (unlike English) Welsh always uses the third person singular of the verb with plural nouns.

Thanks, Mwsogl!

Well it is Swansea…
