Note also that in speech wedi is invariably shortened to 'di

These are subtle differences but look out for them.

Munud/eiliad As you know nouns in Welsh are either classified as masculine or feminine in Welsh.
From time to time you might have noted that characters use masculine and feminine forms for the same nouns:
Munud; Generally in north Wales munud is masculineFydda i yna mewn dau funud
In south Wales however you'll hear dwy funudFydda i yna mewn dwy funud.
The same is true of eiliad a second Tri eiliad is heard in the North but tair eiliad in the south.
