I've been looking into Welsh lately (learning the grammar and whatnot, but not seriously learning how to speak it). One of the first things I came across was the word 'yn'. I was never able to find an actual translation of the word, and it appears at first glance to be simply a word to mark of the verb phrase.

So, my question is, what is the literal meaning of 'yn'? If there is no literal meaning, what is its grammatical function?

(Note: I can handle linguistic terminology, if you choose to use it)

I am currently living in Wales and i speak English, What language should i learn possibly Spanish or French ? Welsh would not really benefit me so im ruling that out.

Hi, i am in yr 11 and am doing my welsh GCSE, i have to do a speaking exam and have to learn a whole essay off by heart, does anyone have any tips that could help me?
