When the object is indefinite (e.g. a film, a book etc.), use ddim, e.g.
Welais i ddim ffilm neithiwr. (I didn't see a film last night.)
When the object is definite (e.g. the film, the book), use mo'r, e.g.
Welais i mo'r ffilm neithiwr. (I didn't see the film last night.)
When the object is named (e.g. Star Wars, War and Peace), use mo, e.g.
Welais i mo Star Wars neithiwr. (I didn't see Star Wars last night.)
When the definite object is a pronoun (he, she, them …), i.e. a word used to replace a noun that has already been mentioned, the preposition o conjugates as follows in a negative context:
mohono i |
Welaist ti mohono i |
You didn't see me |
mohonot ti |
Welais i mohonot ti |
I didn't see you |
mohono fe/fo |
Welais i mohono fe/fo |

mohoni hi |
Welodd e mohoni hi |
He didn't see her |
mohonon ni |

mohonoch chi |
Welodd hi mohonoch chi |
She didn't see you |
mohonyn nhw |
Welais i mohonyn nhw |
I didn't see them |
mai (as opposed to mae, which is a present form of the verb bod), is used with verbs to place positive emphasis and corresponds to that in English. It can also be replaced in Welsh with taw, e.g.
Dywedodd Elen mai/taw yfory y bydd hi'n dod i'r ysgol.
The direct object of a verb noun does not take a soft mutation, e.g.
Roedd Mari yn credu bod digon o amser ganddi.
The short/personal verb takes a soft mutation, e.g.
Gobeithiai Megan fod digon o amser ganddi.
