"Mae hi'n dwll o le."

Translation: It is a dump.

[sally281539]

It is a hole wasn't accepted. I think it means the same colloquially.

[EllisVaughan]

Do you mean in English. I've never seen "It is a hole" to mean it is a dump unless it is preceded by a certain word.

[sally281539]

Yes, in English. I've often heard it used like that ( "It is a hole" meaning "It is a dump")

[deactivated user]

I've heard it too, but it's definitly not good English.

[rhywun]

i would call a place a hole.. to call it a dump sounds unnatural to me.

What is the function of yn here? I thought that was generally used with adjectives and verbal things, not nouns.

[EllisVaughan]

"Yn" is needed with nouns, verb-nouns and adjectives.

Sorry for asking such a basic question in such an advanced question. I'm coming back to the Welsh programme after javing done other languages for a while.
