Oes 'na unrhyw siaradwyr Cymraeg yma?

Post by **Gill the Piano** » 16 Nov 2013, 17:49

So 'wedi cynhyrchu' means 'has been produced'? You don't need any ' mae' in front of it? I've noticed on PYC that hardly anyone says 'dw i'n mynd i'r siopa', just 'mynd i'r siopa'. I think I learned Welsh too early; it's getting shorter and shorter. If I'd left it a bit longer I'd only have had to learn half of what I have done...

dave brum · Post by **dave brum** » 16 Nov 2013, 19:48

Yes, or simply 'produced', doesn't matter how you say it just as long as it's in that tense, .....ED. 'CYNHYRCHWYD GAN....' is quite a common way of saying 'produced by', or the word 'cael' is also used quite often, as in 'wedi caei ei gynhyrchu' or 'wedi cael ei chynhyrchu' (lit. had its production), but that's quite a showy offy way of saying what you can just use the wedi for, followed by the verb.

I could have said 'mae hi wedi cynhyrchu gan yr un.....' or 'mae hi wedi cael ei chynhyrchu gan....' which would have sounded much more formal: It has been produced by. I just wanted to say 'Produced by', so I could have either said that, or 'cynhyrchwyd gan....'.

Okay. Fi'n mynd i'r siopau.....would hear that in Cwmderi or possibly anywhere in Sir Gar! Dwi'n mynd....is Northern.

Mae ffilm 'da fi sy'n dangos y dalentog a ddawnus Caryl Parry Jones o'r enw ''Steddfod 'Steddfod' ac yn y ffilm, mae Caryl yn chwarae sawl rhan ac ym mhob rhan mae hi'n 'rhoi ymlaen' yr acenion gwahanol Cymraeg Cymru. Un gymeriad oedd merch ysgol gwael o Gaernarfon, un oedd gweithwraig fferm o ardal wledig y Gogledd, a'r llall oedd aelodau cor o Lanelli...acen 'Pobol Y Cwm' wrth gwrs. Yn Saesneg, wrth gwrs the richest Welsh accents are to be found in the valleys and Swansea. In the North West the richness goes but the Welsh lilt stays (Aled Jones). However in the North East, from Rhyl eastwards and Chirk northwards the dialect is basically Scouse without the richness, la! Then 'Kairdiff' has its own accent, which has spread to Newport and Barry (Stan Stennett).

Dwi ddim wedi gweld Pobol Y Cwm ers blynyddoedd....a daro, Dechrau Canu ymlaen heno, does dim siawns o'i gweld hi eto... Ond pob tro yn y gorffennol, fe ges i anhawsterau mawr wrth deall yr acenion Sir Gar. Ond mae Huw Edwards yn dod o Langennech a phan mae e'n arfer gwneud stwff Cymraeg, doedd dim sut anhawsterau o gwbl er bod tipyn bach o acen 'da fe!

Well, I know that 'na fe' means 'that's it', but no, I don't know what 'na' means on its own. Unless it's 'no'.
On PYC, they kept saying they were fed up with various things and using a phrase using the word 'bol' which I recognised as 'belly'. Do you know what the rest of it is/was?

dave brum · Post by **dave brum** » 23 Nov 2013, 17:45

Yes, No!! Well one of the several ways to say no!!

It wasn't something like the idiom 'llond bol' as in 'Dwi wedi cael llond bol ohonoch chi', meaning to have a belly full of, to have enough of???

Dwi wedi cael llond bol o weld arwyddion Cymraeg gwael a ddi-synnwyr o gwmpas Caerdydd!

Rydyn ni wedi mynd i lawr yr M50 trwy Trefynwy, a wedi stopio am baned o goffi yn Waitrose yno. Ein bwriad ar y ffordd i lawr oedd gyrru trwy'r Dyffryn Gwy rhwng Trefynwy a Chas-Gwent, ond cawson ni (we had) ein gwyriadu nol i mewn i Loegr, trwy'r Coedwig y Ddena (Forest of Dean) a thrwy Coleford ac i'r dde ar y A48 yn Lydney cyn ymuno a'r traffordd eto yng Nghas-Gwent.

Cawson ni ddiwrnod bendigedig yn y Prifddinas....rynyn ni'n gobeithio mynd i lawr eto am wers piano ym mis Ionawr.....os byddaf yn gallu ei ffordio.

gwyriadu = to be diverted

Yn mynd heb ddweud, Gill!

Wrthi nawr yn lawrllwytho can yn Gaeleg o'r enw Chi Mi'n Geamhradh (Dwi'n gweld y gaeaf) gan hen grwp o'r Alban o'r enw Run Rig. Can mor bwerus ydy hi, dwi'n cofio dod o hyd i gaset yr albwm 'Run Rig Play Gaelic' mewn cwdyn du ar y stryd ym Mryste sawl blwyddyn yn ol. Ynghyd a llawer mwy o hen gaws cerddorol.

Post by **Gill the Piano** » 14 Dec 2013, 18:05

wrthi? bwerus? University St David's doesn't know what they mean. And I don't either!

Dw i wedi clywed Runrig ac dw i'n hoffi hwn. Dim yn canu yn Gaeleg, ond yn Saesneg.

dave brum · Post by **dave brum** » 14 Dec 2013, 18:35

Pwerus=powerful. You could use the word 'cryf' for strong or powerful, like a strong song that Chi Mi'n Geamhradh is. As for 'wrthi', I understood that word to be 'at it' or 'doing it' (though not in the 'Carry On' films sense of the expression). 'Ydych chi wrthi'n ymarfer am eich arholiad piano'? Dwi wrthi'n coginio cinio. Maybe the reason it isn't on an online translator is that it could be a colloquialism, but I cannot remember where I may have picked it up from - maybe from either Radio Cymru or 'Y Cymro' newspaper.

May have sounded better if I'd have said 'Can mor gryf ydy hi' instead.....dydy fy Ngymraeg i ddim mor gryf ac yr oedd o'r blaen. Ond mae fy 'Duuuuuuudleeeeeaaaaaayyyyyy' 'n llawer gwell!!!

I wish someone would write a mutations dictionary that would point me to the correct word!

dave brum · Post by **dave brum** » 15 Dec 2013, 17:16

Do you have the book 'Welcome to Welsh' by Heini Gruffudd? There's not so much as a mutations dictionary but a small list of rules. After 'mor' (as, so NOT sea!) there is a softy. Mor fawr, mor gryf, mor las a'r awyr (as blue as the sky). With Welsh you do have to use your earholes and allow them to tell you what 'sounds' good and bad, especially as there are all these pesky mutations...which as far as I am concerned do not matter. Someone once told me 'don't worry about making mistakes with mutations, you'll still be understood'. Think she was a 'Cymraeg I Oedolion' tutor. Though I see what you mean about looking Welsh words up in the dic when unknowingly to the learner a softie has taken place. Not a problem with the other two types of 'treiglad'!

Post by **Gill the Piano** » 16 Dec 2013, 18:16

Yes, I have got that one. That reminds me; to say 'I have' I've always said 'Mae gen i', but yesterday on Hwb he seemed to be saying 'mae gynna i'. Which is right? Or is one gog ?

dave brum · Post by **dave brum** » 16 Dec 2013, 18:59

Both are right and both are northern, of course if the noun is 'car' the southern equivalent would be mae car 'da fi[/i, with NO softie, whereas 'mae gynna i gar' or 'mae gen i gar' ALWAYS causes a softie. As does its usage with the 2nd and 3rd person singular/plural. Mae ganddi hi deledu lliw, mae gan Dylan lyfr.

If it's in your brothers' house .......yn nhy fy mrawd. Not yn ty or even ar ty. It's a nasal mutation but don't ask me why. I would imagine it's the same rule as 'yng Nghaerdydd - in Cardiff' sort of thing. Would be 'yng nghar fy mrawd (i)' also by the same rule. Heard it spoken and read it. With Cymraeg, you really do have to use your ears and let them be your guide quite often!
