"Do you own this?"

Translation: Ti sy biau hwn?

[ASPIECHICK]

Where can i find the course notes? I wasn't aware of these

[To-bach]

On the web version, when you click a topic, a box appears with the 'Start' button. You'll see two smaller buttons just above it, one with a light bulb on it and anther with a key. Click the one with the light bulb to get to the notes for that topic. The light bulb button is missing in the phone app.

Or there is a full set of notes in one page here:

[PKBrummie]

You have a typo.
Ti sy biau hon?

[ibisc]

Since 'this' is a thing of unspecified gender, hwn is the one to use.

[Cynphony]

wyt ti biau hwn? . Would that work also?

[ibisc]

No. As explained in the course notes, biau is a very unusual defective verb that is only used in an emphatic pattern in the modern language.

[JudyAdamso1]

Why is it 'hwn' and not 'hyn' as we don't know what it's referring to?

[ibisc]

When refering to a physical thing of unknown grammatical gender it it usual to use the masculine pronoun.

[JudyAdamso1]

So what is 'hyn' used for?

[ibisc]

hyn is used as a demonstrative adjective with plurals:

• y cathod hyn - these cats

As a demonstrative pronoun like hon or hwn (this, this one), it is used for intangible things:

• Mae hyn yn wastraff o amser. - This is a waste of time.
• Pryd digwyddodd hyn/hynny? - When did this/that happen?

[JudyAdamso1]

Thank you.

[JackBramah]

except that in a really similar question earlier in the same lesson "hyn" is marked as an acceptable answer rather than a typo.

Hon is also accepted - is that the feminine pronoun?
