Dh'ordaíos cóip den úrscéal Un nos ola leuad (Aon oíche amháin sholas na gealaí) le Caradog Prichard agus is beag an choinne a bhí agam le teacht di go luath.
I ordered a copy of the novel Un nos ola leuad (One moonlit night) by Caradog Prichard last month and didn't expect to see it for a while.

Ddydd Mawth gyrhaeddodd hi a rw wedi bod i'n ceisio'i darllen hi. Mae'r ieithwedd yn reit syml (crotyn ifanc yw yr adroddwr) ond mae'r dafodiaith Arfonig yn creu rhai anawsterau i mi.
Fuaras Dé Máirt í agus táim ag déanamh iarrachta ar í a léagh. Is simplí í an teanga (garsún óg is ea an reacaire) ach cuireann canúint Arfon dua orm.
It arrived on Tuesday and I've been trying to read it. The prose style is pretty simple (the narrator is a young boy) but the dialect of Arfon gives me some trouble.

Er enghraifft, "cnegwarth" am "geiniogwerth". Pwy fydde wedi disgwyl hynny? Neu "dest" am "just"?
Mar shampla, "cnegwarth" ar "ceiniogwerth" ("luach pingine"). Cé aige go mbeadh coinne leis sin? Nó "dest" ar "just"?
For instance, "cnegwarth" for "ceiniogwerth" ("pennyworth"). Who would've expected that? Or "dest" for "just"?

単刀直入に言えばあまり。まあ、どっちでもの冠詞はちょっと～。シンプルなルールを考えてみよう。（英語母語者は直してもいいんだ。）
Tantōchokunyū ni ieba amari. Maa, dotchi demo no kanshi wa chottooo. Shimpuruna ruuru wo kangaete miyō. (Eigo-bogosha wa naoshite mo iin da.)
To put it frankly, not very. Well, you have difficulties with both articles actually. Let's think up some simple rules. (English speakers, please do correct this if necessary.)[/code]

I see. I thought if the noun were generic, like "Elephant lives in Africa," neither article is used and the noun is in singular. Is the correct one instead "Elephants live in Africa?"

Polynesian languages are super cool.

You can also say "The elephant lives in Africa" but that belongs to the formal written register.

In English generic nouns are normally in the plural.
