ie os gwelwch yn dda

The Welsh phrase for "yes please" is ie os gwelwch yn dda.

This phrase is used as a polite way to accept an offer or to agree to a request.

Did you know?

While English speakers use 'please' as an adverb, the Welsh os gwelwch yn dda literally translates to 'if you see it well'.
The word ie is a tiny linguistic fossil, descending from an ancient Proto-Brythonic phrase meaning 'that is so'.
While ie is the standard word for 'yes' in this phrase, Welsh also uses do or ydw depending on the verb used in the question.

Examples in context

Yn braf, ie os gwelwch yn dda.
That would be lovely, yes please.
