Is there a native Welsh speaker here who can translate some sentences for me?

Why not use Google translator ? it would be faster
Edit : Google doesn’t have a welsh translator so forget what i just said .
Still tho am sure if you Googled it they would work might still be faster .

Because Google Translate is not accurate and thus not allowed. We need to study characteristics of the Welsh language so we need to have a correct translation by a native speaker.

This was not done by Google but by an online translator . Is it not true that different parts of Wales have different meaning and pronunciations for words that another part of Wales doesn’t use ?

Might be, but an automated translator is not what a native speaker would produce and therefore not allowed. We really need to find a native speaker.

There are Welsh Societies in many US states and in Canada. Maybe you can find someone in your area who can help you translate correctly http://www.wales-usa.org/society.html.

Thanks for that, only, I’m in the Netherlands so I can’t really use that ;-)

I speak Welsh but I’m wondering whether these sentences were chosen for a particular reason? Also, which version of Welsh do you want them in – standard literary, spoken north or spoken south Welsh?

@vimipa – excellent! It doesn’t really matter, as long as we know which it is :). Though standard literary perhaps isn’t very handy as we need to look extensively at pronunciation as well. So whatever you’re most comfortable with, if you don’t feel strongly either way then I’d say spoken north.

As for why these sentences were chosen – I don’t know, they were just handed over to us. I’ll check with the course’s website to see if it’s mentioned, and if it is, I’ll report back here.

Thanks in advance :)

Edit: Hmm, no comments whatsoever on why these sentences of this origin specifically were chosen. However, without doubt these sentences have been chosen in such a way that we can deduce the characteristics of the language that we need to answer certain questions (such as “in what way are negations expressed in language X?”).
