Gofynnwch ac atebwch y cwestiynau yma’n Gymraeg

Ask and answer the following questions in Welsh:

 

[table class=”table”]
Ask: have you got a family?, Sgynnoch chi deulu?
Answer: Yes I have, Oes.
Ask : have you got a phone number?, Sgynnoch chi rif ffôn?

Ask: have you got children?, Sgynnoch chi blant?
Answer: Yes. I’ve got two sons., Oes. Mae gen i ddau fab.
[/table]

Note that in Welsh when we put a number before a noun, the noun remains singular.
So we don’t say two children or three dogs, we say two child and three dog.
Gwrandewch ar Ceri yn sôn am ei theulu.
Listen to Ceri talking about her family. Listen for dau / tri and the singular noun.
Ceri has three children – two sons and a daughter.
If the noun is feminine – like merch (daughter) or cath (cat), we must use these feminine numbers

 

[table class=”table”]
dau in front of masculine words e.g. dau gi, two dogs
dwy in front of feminine words e.g. dwy ddynes, two women
tri in front of masculine words e.g. tri mab, three sons
tair in front of feminine words e.g. tair cadair, three chairs
pedwar in front of masculine words e.g. pedwar car, four cars
pedair in front of feminine words e.g. pedair swyddfa, four offices
[/table]

Cofiwch! Mae Treiglad Meddal yn dod yn syth ar ôl Mae gen i ?

Remember! A Soft Mutation follows immediately after Mae gen i…?

Gwrandewch ar Ifan yn sôn am ei deulu.
Listen to Ifan talking about his family.

He has three daughters and two cats. He also has two cars.
Helo. Ifan dwi. Mae gen i dair merch a dwy gath. Hefyd, mae gen i ddau gar.

Say that you’ve got two boys, Mae gen i ddau fachgen
Say that you’ve got two sisters, Mae gen i ddwy chwaer
Say that you’ve got four cats, Mae gen i bedair cath.
[/table]

We can add o’r enw ( called or named) to these sentences if we want to say what someone or something is called!

 

[table class=”table”]
Mae gen i un ferch o’r enw Gwen., I have one daughter called Gwen
Mae gen i ddau fab o’r enw Carwyn a Geraint, I have two sons called Carwyn and Geraint.
[/table]

CD 2 Track 3: Siarad yn yr Amser Gorffennol / Talking in the Past Tense.

There are several ways of forming the past tense. We shall use the simplest!

We can say Mi wnes i… which means I did

So, to say anything I did in the past, all we need to do is to add any verb to Mi wnes i…

[table class=”table”]
e.g. I went, Mi wnes i fynd
I ate, Mi wnes i fwyta
I worked, Mi wnes i weithio
Similarly\, if we want to talk about what he or she did\, Mi wnes i changes to Mi wnaeth o or Mi wnaeth hi and becomes the stem of the verb.[attr colspan=”2″]
e.g He went,Mi wnaeth o fynd
She ate, Mi wnaeth hi fwyta
Gareth worked, Mi wnaeth Gareth weithio
Notice that in all cases\, a soft mutation comes after Mi wnes i or Mi wnaeth o or Mi wnaeth hi.[attr colspan=”2″]
In this conversation\, listen for Mi wnes i and mi wnaeth o~~~~Also\, listen for the question Be wnaethoch chi? (What did you…?)~~~~The Yes / No answers will be Do/Naddo~~Gwrandewch hefyd am ddim yn rhy ddrud – not too expensive.[attr colspan=”2″]
Sara: Bore da Ffion. Sut oedd y penwythnos?, Sara: Good morning\, Ffion. How was the week-end?
Ffion: Sut mae\, Sara? Mi wnes i gael penwythnos ardderchog!, Ffion: How are things Sara? I had an excellent week-end.
Beth wnaethoch chi wneud? Wnaethoch chi fynd i’r sinema?, What did you do? Did you go to the cinema?
Naddo. Mi wnes i fynd i dŷ bwyta newydd yng Nghonwy efo fy nghariad., No\, I didn’t. I went to a new restaurant in Conwy with my boyfriend.
Am lwcus! Be wnaethoch chi fwyta?, How lucky! What did you eat?
Mi wnes i fwyta cyw iâr\, pasta a saws tomato ac mi wnaeth Geraint gael pysgodyn a llysiau., I ate chicken\, pasta and tomato sauce and Geraint had fish and vegetables
Oedd y bwyd yn dda?, Was the food good?
Oedd. Roedd y pryd yn flasus iawn a ddim yn rhy ddrud., Yes it was. The meal was very tasty and not too expensive.
Wnaethoch chi yfed gwin hefyd?, Did you drink wine as well?
Do siwr! Ond dim ond un gwydraid. Mi wnes i yrru’r car., Yes\, of course! But only one glassful. I drove the car.

Dyma ’ch tro chi i ymarfer., Here’s your turn to practise..
Say I went to work on the bus, Mi wnes i fynd i’r gwaith ar y bws.
Say that he worked in St. Asaph, Mi wnaeth o weithio yn Llanelwy
Say that Ffion drank a cup of tea, Mi wnaeth Ffion yfed paned o dê.
Ask if you finished the work?, Wnaethoch chi orffen y gwaith?
Ask if Gareth answered the phone?, Wnaeth Gareth ateb y ffôn?
