"Maen nhw eisiau blodfresych."

Translation: They want a cauliflower.

[DariusHugh]

Why do I "need the article a here"

[ibisc]

Welsh has no indefinite article, so this could be translated into English as any of:

• They want/need cauliflower(s)
• They want/need some cauliflower(s)
• They want/need a cauliflower - although strictly this should be a singular cauli - blodfresychen, but in general people do not always make that distinction with vegetables, etc as bought and consumed.

[hnigro]

So it doesn't have to be "a cauliflower"? It could be "they want cauliflower?"

[ibisc]

It could, as mentioned above. This sentence seems to have been deleted from the course now, so I cannot check the full list of accepted answers. It may take some time for it to actually vanish from the system..

Nope, it's still here.
