    I don't really think it's fair to be tested on formal and familiar when it wasn't in the lesson. I don't recall seeing it in the tips before the lessons.

        Are the words "dych" and "dach" are interchangeable?

        They have the same meaning, if that's what you mean; the difference is regional - some will use dych and some dach. dach is more common in the North, I believe.

        But I think any given person will use only one or the other.

          What is "wyt ti'n"? Is it a regional difference?

            It's the singular/plural divide, kind of like tu/vous in French.

            • Wyt ti'n is singular/familiar do you
            • Dych/dach chi'n is plural/formal do you

            Wow, if I didn't read this comment, I would think exactly the other way.

              What if I wanted to ask one stranger something? Would I use wyt ti'n because it's singular or dych chi'n because it's formal?

                Always go formal with a stranger.

                        Me too, so I should use wyt to ask one of my friends if they want e.g. a coffee..
