Usage notes

The negative particle dim occurs as / is mutated (lenited) to ddim when it appears directly after the subject of the sentence, which is very often. Colloquially the mutated form ddim is found also at the beginning of a clause, as in Ddim o gwbl! (“Not at all!”).

dim can be reduced to 'm in colloquial speech.
