"Cysgu"

Translation: To sleep

[NoelGoetowski]

Dw i'n hoffi cysgu. zzzzz

I remember this word by rhyming it with 'dusky'. Dusky = Dusk = nearly night time = sleepy time.
Linking any words in this way helps me remeber them

As long as you don't think that dysgu "learn" means "sleepy time" :)

[Robin_Jeannene]

It listed "sleep" as a correct option but then marked me wrong

[moonblade23]

you need to add "to"

[QueenOfTriggered]

But wouldn't just ' sleep ' be grammatically correct as well?

[mizinamo]

This is mentioned several times in the tips and notes for various lessons -- "Sleep!" as a single-word sentence sounds like a command, but cysgu etc. are not command forms.

So to make sure that we understand that, the verb-noun form cysgu is expected to be translated as either "to sleep" or "sleeping", and similarly for all other verb-nouns.

Just plain sleep is not accepted for a single-word Welsh verb-noun prompt.

In a whole sentence, of course, just sleep may be correct, e.g. Dw i ddim yn gallu cysgu "I can't sleep".

Oh, well that makes more sense. Thanks for clearing it up! :D
