Diolch cardibach for the idea!

I'm just getting started as a learner so that's my limit in Welsh so far!

This is where we can chat, use our Welsh as we are learning and give each other help/ advice/ encouragement, etc. Smile

I have learnt "mae'n flin gyda fi" and "mae'n ddrwg gen i" as sorry.

I think the first one is more southern and the second more northern, but don't quote me on that!

You are correct, alex - but most first langauge speaker sround here would say 'Sori'.
Diolch byth mae'n ddyd Gwener!

that's what I need to learn cardi, the days of the week. I'll have to write them down and learn them, perhaps the months too.

Heno dw i'n hapus, achos mae fy mab ifancach wedi (climb up) un gris, roedd yn anodd iddo fe ond wnaeth e i wneud e. Dw i'n falch!

Da iawn i mab alex (presumably called alex...).
Dw i'n wedi blino heno. Dw i'n brysur iawn ar hyn o bryd yn gweithio.

cardibach · 27/04/2012 22:20

Or even Gweith. In work, not working. You get my drift.

alexpolismum · 28/04/2012 11:14

bore da pawb!

gobeithio nes ti'n gallu cysgu yn dda ac yn ymlacio, cardi.

I need some help! I have been trying to work out how to say "I would do" and so far I have found
byddwn i
taswn i
buaswn i
can anyone tell me the difference between these?

also, can anyone help me with some forms of bod? I have got rhaid ei fod e and rhaid dy fod di. How is it for the first person?

OP posts:
alexpolismum · 28/04/2012 13:12

Another question.

I've seen dydy tydi and dyw used all pretty similarly. Are these really the same thing?

OP posts:
eatyourveg · 28/04/2012 21:56

alexpolisman this is what I wrote in my vocab book some 25 yrs ago so it may well now be considered old fashioned speak

Baswn i
Baset ti
Basai hi/o
Basai'r
Basen ni
Basech chi
Basen nhw

Then it says all these are preceeded by mi causing a soft mutation eg Mi faswn i'n mynd i'r ysgol

re the bod question I think its rhaid fy mod i (after that I have written "NB like the subjunctive and follows conjunctions such as
er,
efallai,
cyhyd â,
am,
rhag ofn
and nes")

cardibach · 28/04/2012 22:52

Dw'i wedi bod yn yr Eisteddfod Rhydlewis i chwech awr. Dw'i wedi blino ac hefyd have lost the will to live. Mae fy merch yn cystadlu. Roedd hi yn trydydd ac enill £6. Yay!

alexpolismum · 29/04/2012 07:50

Diolch, eatyourveg. I've made a note of those forms, but I admit I am still slightly confused. Do you mean I should say, for example efallai rhaid fy mod i'n ymarferol?

That's great cardi! Efallai bydda i'n mynd i'r Eisteddfod un diwrnod hefyd!

OP posts:
alexpolismum · 29/04/2012 10:46

I have just found the sentence

mae'r drws wedi cael ei agor

I am assuming it is a form of passive voice "the door has been opened". Does this mean I can say things like:

mae'r llyfr wedi cael ei ddarllen
mae'r ty wedi cael ei adeiladu
mae'r caws wedi cael ei fwyta

and perhaps dw i wedi cael fy nihuno

If a native speaker happens to see these, please let me know if they are correct!

OP posts:
cardibach · 29/04/2012 11:39

I did this on my course! Not sure about your examples, but you're right, it is passive voice. It is used for being born as well - I was born = Ces i fy ngeni. And for some kinds of food, e.g Boiled eggs = eggs wedi'u berwi.

alexpolismum · 29/04/2012 12:57

Thanks, cardi. I've just made a note of ces i fy ngeni. How funny, the verb "genno" means "to give birth to" in Greek as well. How interesting.

I suppose ces must be the past tense of cael, I haven't seen it before, but it reminded me of wnes i, it's the same sort of pattern.

OP posts:
cardibach · 29/04/2012 13:11

Yes, alex - past tense of cael
Ces i - I had
Cest ti - You had
Cafodd / hi - He/ she had
Cawson ni - We had
Cawsoch chi - You had
Cawson nhw - They had

alexpolismum · 29/04/2012 13:17

ooh, thanks, cardi! cardibach, cymorthmawr!

wyt ti yn byw yng Ngheredigion, cardi? (Rhydlewis is in Ceredigion).

OP posts:
cardibach · 29/04/2012 14:33

Ydw, dw i'n byw yn Ngheredigion! Dw i'n byw yn pentref bach ar bwys y mor. Dw i'n gallu weld y mor pan dw i'n eistedd ar fy balcony. Dw i'n hoffi fy nhy!

alexpolismum · 29/04/2012 14:41

it sounds hyfrid yn wir cardi. Smile

Dw i'n byw yn agos i'r mor hefyd, dw i'n hoffi cerdded ymalen y ffordd ar bwys y mor (the seafront path??) ac yn gwylio ar y mor. Mae hi'n llaciol.

OP posts:
cardibach · 29/04/2012 14:48

Mae e'n hyryd, alex . Dw i'n hoffi Gwlad Groeg hefyd. Nes i teithio yna sawl gwaith - in the islands mostly (Cyclades) ac hefyd Evia.

cardibach · 29/04/2012 14:48

*hyfryd

alexpolismum · 29/04/2012 21:28

Noswaith dda pawb!

Heddiw dw i wedi dysgu llawer o Cymraeg. Dw i'n gobeithio fydda i ddim yn anghofio fe yn gyflym! Dw i'n teimlo bod fy Nghymraeg yn dod yn ei flaen a dw i'n hapus. Smile

Nawr, mae eisiau i fi siarad gyda rhywun i ymarfer ac i ddysgu yn well!

OP posts:
alexpolismum · 30/04/2012 08:41

Dyma ddiwrnod hyfryd heddiw! Mae hi'n heulog ac yn boeth yn wir!

Yfory, bydd yn 1 mai ac bydd gwyliau (bank holiday) yma, felly byddwn ni'n mynd yr plant allan i bicnic, efallai yn y fforest, sydd yn agos i'r mor. Smile

Alexpolismum - Mae dy Gymraeg di yn wych, rwyt ti wedi dysgu yn anhygoel o sydyn!

Y drwg hefo bod yn Gymraes iaith cyntaf ydi, nad ydwi'n gwybod/cofio y rheolau gramadeg - mae'n digwydd yn naturiol (rhan fwyaf o'r amser o leiaf!)

Mae'r pethau rwyt wedi eu hysgrifennu uchod i weld yn berffaith gywir i mi.

Sori nad ydwi wedi bod yn ôl yn ddiweddar, braidd yn brysur yma ar hyn o bryd.

Da iawn merch Cardibach am lwyddo yn yr Eisteddfod :)

Dwi'n meddwl dylai Alexpolismum geisio am "Dysgwr y Flwyddyn" yn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Grin
