We were practising questions and answers in class today. There are no exact equivalents of yes and no in Welsh. Instead when answering a question, you repeat the verb in the appropriate form, or in some cases you\u00a0use other words. For example, responses to the\u00a0question Wyt ti’n mywnhau’r cwrs ma?<\/em> (Are you enjoying this course?), could be Ydw<\/em> (I am) or Nag ydw<\/em> (I’m not).\u00a0 It often takes me a\u00a0few\u00a0moments\u00a0to work out the correct answer.<\/p>\n

O’n ni’n ymarfer cwestiynau ac atebion yn y dosbarth heddiw, ac ddoe hefyd. Yn aml mae rhaid i mi feddwl am ychydig eiliadau i ddewis yr ateb cywir.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This morning we also attended a local\u00a0cyd<\/em> – an informal get together of local Welsh speakers and Welsh learners. It took place in the one of the pubs in town, and we heard and spoke quite a lot of Welsh, so it was very useful.<\/p>\n

Y bore ma, aethon ni i’r tafarn yn y dre i gymryd rhan mewn cyd – cyfarfod anffurfiol bobl leol sy’n siarad neu sy’n dysgu Cymraeg. O’n ni’n siarad llawer o Gymraeg gyda nhw, felly oedd hi’n defnyddiol iawn.<\/p>\n

It started absolutely tipping it down after dinner and I thought there might\u00a0be floods like there were here last week. Fortunately the rain didn’t last more than about half an hour.<\/p>\n

Ar \u00f4l cinio, cychwnodd hi’n bwrw glaw trwm iawn. Ond oedd hi’n gorffen\u00a0cyn hanner awr ac nag oedd llifogydd fel yr wythnos diwethaf.<\/p>\n

I have some more homework to do for tomorrow, so I’d better go now.<\/p>\n

Rhaid i mi mynd nawr, achos mae gen i mwy o waith cartref\u00a0i wneud cyn yfory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
