"Dych chi'n mynd i aros?"

Translation: Are you going to stay?

[ysbeidiauheulog]

It's interesting to see that the verb to go is also used to talk about the future in Welsh. I'm always surprised by how many languages have this construct which I would expect to be more idiomatic.

[Jb11131999]

Aros is a verb here, right? So, i can say "dw i'n aros" to mean "I stay"?

[ibisc]

Correct. Aros is a verb-noun meaning 'staying/to stay' and also 'waiting/to wait'

• Dw i'n aros mewn gwesty - 'I am staying in a hotel' '

• Dw i'n aros am Sioned - 'I am waiting for Sioned'

[RobThomas01]

can aros mean stop too?

[ibisc]

It can. As in heb aros - without stopping/waiting, or

• Arhosa fa'ma am funud - rhaid i mi bicio i mewn y siop - 'wait/stop just here a minute - I need to pop into the shop'.

[2ndtenor]

Where I come from in Wales we often say"Are you going to stop?" in the sense"are you going to stay" eg Stop and have a cup of tea = Stay and have a cup of tea."

I don't like this method of Q&A here (ie. selecting the missing word) because you don't get to hear the sentence as a whole or see it in place. If as you selected it, it read the whole sentence, would be helpful.
