"Gobeithio bod chi'n barod."

Translation: Hopefully you are ready.

[tombo.wb95]

Why is it not "Dw i'n gobeithio" or "gobeithia"?

[ibisc]

gobeithio... on its own is commonly translated as 'hopefully...' To distinguish between 'I hope...', he hopes...', and so on it is more usual to see dw i'n gobeithio..., mae e'n gobeithio..., ...

[pambirtill]

so are you saying that this translation isn't right?

[ibisc]

Yes. The answer has now been corrected to 'hopefully' - it may take a short while for the change to filter through the system.

[Beth743129]

Can it translate to "Hoping that you are ready."? In a letter, we can put, "Hoping that you are well," which is the shortening of "I'm hoping that you are well." Is there some nuance to the Welsh expression?

[ibisc]

'Hoping that you are ready.' would be grammatically correct English, but just an odd thing to say as a sentence on its own.
