cm is ok, since it’s centimetr (sometimes centimedr) in Welsh anyway and it’s also an international (though not, i think S.I.) unit.
Demo is used for demo since there’s no comfortable-sounding abbreviation of arddangos(iad) I would say. It’s also Greek rather than English which matters to some people.
Thank you @aran, @leiafee and @robbruce. It seams that until now I’m doing just fine what actually makes me happy. I’m using the software anyway so when I finish I’ll have insight into if it’s all OK or something seams odd and needs some corrections. + I have unlimited access to the translating sheet so I can do edits at any time and they’re implemented immediately (when someone starts the software).
Beth mae’n nhw or Beth yn nhw. I have been getting this one repeatedly wrong on SSIW Southern and wanted to know if beth mae’n nhw was OK, because it has become a bit of a tricky one for me to change.
The use of rhedeg as not just as the physical action of running but also in the context of ‘Dwi’n rhedeg a gym’ as I’ve just heard on Radio Cymru, and multiple other examples. Is the use of rhedeg in terms of running something of a modernish transcribing of the english use in this context or is this the way to run a business has always been described in Welsh?
(And an additional question, is brechdan used that much. what I’m hearing a lot of is ‘sandwich caws’ 'sandwich cyw iar etc)
Achos mae hi… is technically wrong, and may well have been allowed in Cymraeg Byw, not sure about that. Achos ought to be followed by a ‘that…’ clause, so **achos bod/fod…**etc. Then cases like achos iddi… are the same thing really, with a sense of past time:
Achos bod hi’n cyrraedd yn hwyr Because she’s arriving late
Achos iddi gyrraedd yn hwyr Because she arrived late
NOT following it with a ‘that…’ clause is, I think, more common down South, where influence of English is stronger.
PamWhy also strictly speaking requires a ‘that…’ clause:
Pam bod chi fan hyn? Why are you here?
Preferable to Pam dych chi fan hyn?, which to many native speakers sounds dodgy, and indeed to me as well.
