Usage notes edit
The adjective blinedig and prepositional phrase wedi blino share the same meaning of "tired". Their both being different parts of speech, however, means they must be modified in different ways to show shades of meaning, for example blinedig iawn and wedi blino'n lân both mean "very tired" or rhy flinedig and wedi blino gormod are different ways of saying "too tired".
