Will
Excellent piece of work and a very useful reference. Good use of colour too.
Some minor comments:
1. Rhedeg appears in mutated form unlike the other examples
2. Variations are a bit of a nightmare I know and it's hard to include them all. I would use ...ith as the ending for third person singular future, or taswn i rather than 'swn i etc
3. For completeness there's also the perfect tense of bod - bues ,i buost ti etc.

Is anybody thinking about putting up a grammar tree to show how Welsh works in speech?

David Tidy said

Ooh that sounds like a good challenge. I wish I knew what grammar tree was though. Could you explain a bit more?

Cer said

There are examples here: http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schuh/lx001/Discussion/d02.html The type I mean begin with the sentence, "Juvenile court to try shooting victim" and goes on from there. Or, click on option 3, "Grammatical categories." The hyperlink will take you to that section.

A linguistic tree shows the sentence break-down in a visual format.

Cer said

Make that, "...to try shooting defendant."

A little bit like the general who during a battle asked the first officer to send a message down the line "Send reinforcements we are going to advance"...by the time the message arrived at its destination it was... "Send 3 and 4 pence were going to the dance"

My latest comment seems to vanished into the linguistic ether. I was just thinking how the grammar tree resembles the way that SSiW lessons are structured. I wondered if Aran/Iestyn had been this way before, or perhaps it was just intuitive on their part. It sounds as if the concept might perhaps be worth pursuing as a supplement the lessons to reinforce grammatical structures but I wouldn't want to take it on simply as an intellectual exercise. A tree for each lesson perhaps?

Grammar trees are really nice ways to see how a language is naturally spoken. I live in the southern part of the US and our teacher even showed how colloquialisms like "fixin' to" for "about to" and, "might could" for "maybe," fit into the sentence structure.
