I know that there are different forms of 'know' in Welsh, but I have trouble in remembering exactly which ones to use in the right place.
I'm putting them here so I can find them again quickly when I need them.
Adnabod - to recognise (but in the literary language it is closer to 'nabod')
Gwybod - to know a fact
Nabod - to know a person/ people
Chimod & Timod - contracted tag questions, similar to "y'know". Especially South Wales. In the north, ‘sti’-‘you know’. It’s a contraction of ‘gwyddost ti’-‘you know’.
