Geraint	Shwmae, Morgan! Beth wyt ti'n wneud heddiw?
Morgan	Dim byd. Dwi'n mynd i siopa yn y dref. Beth wyt ti'n wneud yma?
Geraint	Dwi'n prynu bwyd. Gyda llaw, beth wyt ti'n wneud heno?
Morgan	Dwi ddim yn gwybod. Pam?
Geraint	Dwi'n cael parti gyda fy ffrindiau i! Wyt ti eisiau dod?
Morgan	Dy ffrindiau di? Dim diolch.

Note: In previous lessons, we've been using "Dw i", though it can also be written and seen as "Dwi" (as above).

Grammar Points

• Ddim yn
• Eisiau
• More Verbs

Review

• To negate sentences, use the pattern ddim yn. E.g. Dwi ddim yn
• Eisiau is one of the few verb nouns that does not use 'yn', so instead of 'Dwi'n eisiau dod', the correct usage is Dwi eisiau dod.
