Usage notesEdit
- It is a good idea to use ta to translate the English "generic you (anyone)". Also compare French on (“we/us; one; you”).
- ta (“I; me”) is now only used especially in literary or translation works, to convey hostility between the characters, as alternatives (such as tao) may sound awkward or too rough, especially if the age difference between characters is significant (one translation, such as that of Beyblade, may use tao for conversations between children of about the same age, but ta if there is such a difference). It is used in conjunction with mi (informal) or ngươi (formal) for "you".

Derived termsEdit
WelshEdit
EtymologyEdit
Derived ultimately from bynnag (“-ever”). Initially, bynnag began preceding rather than following the word it qualfied, so beth bynnag (“whatever”) became bynnag beth. A sound change meant bynnag started to be pronounced as gynnag, whereupon the phrase was reanalysed as gan nag, a southern colloquial form of gan nad, literally "since (that) not". The inconsistency of this phrase being negative in structure but affirmative in meaning led nag (“that not”) to be replaced with corresponding affirmative taw (“that”), so gan nag beth became gan taw beth. The initial gan was subsequently dropped and the pronunciation of taw /tau̯/ reduced to ta /ta/ as is common speech, leaving such forms as ta beth (“whatever”).[1]

ta
- (South Wales, colloquial) -ever follows interrogative pronouns to form indefinite pronouns
