"Rhan amser dw i'n gweithio nawr."

Translation: I work part-time now.

[savandwich]

strange word order... like yoda?

[ibisc]

Not in Welsh. It is more common in Welsh than in English to change the word order for emphasis - the thing being emphasised - rhan amser, here - is moved to the front of the sentence. This is more or less always done in 'identification' sentences, where the thing being emphasised is someone's name or occupation:

• Dewi yw hwnna - That's Dewi
• Mecanic yw e - He is a mechanic
• Arddwr ydw i - I'm a ploughman

And with other things being emphasised:

• Dim ond rhan amser mae e'n gweithio nawr - He just works part-time now.
• Yn Swyddfa'r Post mae hi'n gweithio nawr, nid yn y llyfrgell - She works in the Post Office now, not in the library.

Oh thank you for your help! :-)

Isn't "rhan-amser" hyphenated? I thought it was earlier in the course.

[ibisc]

One major dictionary shows it hyphenated, another has it unhyphenated. Either will do.

[GeoffBache]

Can you add the hyphenated version as a correct option then? Also in other places in this lesson.

Now done.
