"Dylet ti beidio â nofio yno."

Translation: You should not swim there.

[flinnian]

whats the difference between ddylet ti ddim and ddyleti beido?

[Mwsogl]

Perhaps a native speaker can confirm, but I think "dylet ti ddim" is simply "you shouldn't" whereas "dylet ti beidio" is a stronger suggestion that you shouldn't do something whilst avoiding giving a direct command not to. Literally it means, "you should cease to swim there," but that's not very good English.

[mizinamo]

It's better English if you translate the verbal noun into the English "verbal noun" (the gerund): "you should cease swimming there".

[flinnian]

If that's the case then the answer given is incorrect, as you should stop swimming, and you shouldn't swim are different statements

[mizinamo]

Well, it's not really "stop swimming", I think, so much as "desist from swimming, refrain from swimming, abstain from swimming".

[Mwsogl]

Yes, "desist from" was the verb I couldn't think of when I wrote my initial reply.

[Margaret885737]

Ap geiriaduron gives 'cease, forbear' for 'peidio'.

[PushythePirate1]

So, I looked it up online, and it seems like 'yno' is 'there' in north Wales and 'yna' is 'there' in south Wales? Is that correct?

[ibisc]

No, not really. yno means 'there'. yna is often used for 'there', and it also means 'then' (as in next in a sequence of actions). In the various dialects there are a variety of expressions used for 'here', 'right here', 'there', 'over there' and so on.

[PushythePirate1]

ok, thanks

'beidio' is the soft mutation of 'peidio', 'to cease', 'to forbear' or 'to refrain'. There' isn't much difference between the two sentences, but 'beidio' is stronger than 'ddim'.
