"Dych chi wedi gwisgo?"

Translation: Are you dressed?

[pablopublico]

Gwisgo comes ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *wes- (to dress), of which some of the best known descendants are English wear and Latin vestis ("garment", source of English vest, vestment and vesture, and Romance vestir/vêtir/vestire, "to wear", and vestido/vestito/vestit, "dress").

Is 'did you get dressed' a good translation?

[ibisc]

No, that would use a different tense, the simple past:

• Rwyt ti wedi bwyta - 'You have eaten' (the present perfect tense)
• Bwytaist ti - 'You ate' or 'You did eat' (the simple past tense)

This is explained in the notes for this section 'PastWedi'.

[shygirl7]

That is helpful, thank you.

There is a difference between "Are you dressed?" (the words available to choose from) and "Have you got dressed?" (the hover gloss)

[shwmae]

In Welsh they're just the same phrase.

[Nachel_lws]

So, "wedi" means that the sentence is complete tence? I've learned "wedi blino" means "being tired" in other lesson, so I'm bit confused. Is there any notes that explains this?

[shwmae]

That's right, wedi makes something completed ("perfective" in grammar terms). That means:

Dw i'n ... = "I ..." or "I am ...ing"

Dw i wedi ... = "I have ...ed"

So if blino means "get tired":

Dw i'n blino = "I get tired" or "I am getting tired"

Dw i wedi blino = "I have got tired" (which is how we say "I am tired" in Welsh)

Some more examples:

cerdded "walk"

Dw i'n cerdded = "I walk" or "I am walking"

Dw i wedi cerdded = "I have walked"

gweithio "work"

Dw i'n gweithio = "I work" or "I am working"

Dw i wedi gweithio = "I have worked"

ymddeol "retire"

Dw i'n ymddeol = "I retire" or "I am retiring"

Dw i wedi ymddeol = "I have retired" (or "I am retired")

gwisgo "get dressed"

Dw i'n gwisgo = "I get dressed" or "I am getting dressed"

Dw i wedi gwisgo = "I have got dressed" (or "I am dressed")

Can you see how it works?

[Nachel_lws]

Oh, this explains so much! Diolch

[shwmae]

Croeso :)

[DerekBScott]

What is the Welsh for 'Have you dressed yet?', since that was marked wrong.

[Rumactree]

‘Dych chi wedi gwisgo eto?’

[DerekBScott]

Thanks for your help.

[pa1975]

Is 'Dach chi wedi gwisgo?' correct, too?

[Rumactree]

Yes.
I assume it’s accepted too but if not please submit it.
