"Dyn ydy o."

Translation: He is a man.

[MelynHale]

Would "Dyn yw e" also be correct? And if so, what is the differen between the two sentences? Is there a special rule when to use which one?

[rmcode]

Dyn yw e is perfectly correct. The first example, dyn ydy o, is mainly used in North Wales and the other example, dyn yw e, is mainly used in South Wales.

[MelynHale]

diolch yn fawr!

[F3r41xii]

Can anyone break this down into its parts for me? I don't understand the literal meaning of each part at all

[shwmae]

Dyn ydy o

"(A) man is he"
