Mae gen i gar.
Oes gynnoch chi gar? Does gen i ddim car Ymarfer tud 48 Oes/ nac oes
Dw i- I am (this can go at the beginning of a sentence or at the end Dw i’n oer; dw i wedi blino; Sandra dw i= I am cold, I’m tired, I’m Sandra.
Dw i’n dysgu Cymraeg- I’m learning Welsh; dw i’n mynd i Toronto- I’m going to Toronto.
Mae means basically ‘is’ or ‘there is’. It usually only goes at the beginning of a sentence: Mae hi’n gynnes heddiw- It’s warm today Mae hi’n bwrw eira- It’s snowing Mae Sandra wedi blino- Sandra’s tired.
Mae o’n dysgu Ffrangeg- he’s learning French.
Ydy can come at the beginning of a sentence as a question: Ydy hi’n bwrw glaw-Is it raining?
Ydy Dewi yn mynd i Montreal? –Is Dewi going to Montreal?
When it stands alone, it is the answer ‘yes’ to a question that uses ‘ydy’.
Ydy hi’n wyntog? Ydy. Is it windy? Yes.
Ydy can also come in the middle of a sentence when there is a bit of emphasis on another word (eg a name, proffession, natioality) Cymro ydy John- John is a Welshman Deintyddes ydy Sandra-Sandra is a dentist Risiart ydy o- he’s Richard.
These sentences can also be questions. Dewi ydy o? Is he Dewi?
Oes usually occurs at the beginning of a sentence and also means ‘is’ and ‘yes’. Often at the beginning of a sentence it means ‘is there...’? It cannot be followed by ‘y’ meaning ‘the’.
Oes bara yn yr oergell? Is there (any) bread in the fridge?
Oes digon o amser? Is there enough time.
Standing alone, oes means ‘yes’ but only to a question that uses oes.
Oes heddwch? Oes.
When these forms are negative (ie- is not etc), their form changes: Mae becomes dydy (when followed by a noun or pronoun) and also brings in another word ddim which marks the negative, compare French ne...pas: Dydy hi ddim yn oer heddiw- It isn’t cold today Dydy John ddim yn medru siarad Cymraeg John is not able to speak Welsh
With sentences like ‘Cymro ydy John’, the negative is formed differently, the word ‘nid’ comes first: Nid Cymro ydy John. (In regional Welsh, you will find forms like ‘nage Cymro ydy John’) Athrawes ydy Sandra? Nage, nid athrawes ydy hi, ond gwraig fusnes.
When mae has no noun or pronoun (hi, o, a person’s name or the word for ‘the’ y/yr/’r) after it, the negative is not dydy but does dim.
Mae bara yn yr oergell- there is bread in the fridge.
Does dim bara yn yr oergell- there isn’t any bread in the fridge.
Oes is used a lot in the construction in Welsh that corresponds to the verb ‘to have’ (possession) in English, and avoir in French (but in the construction of tenses).
Mae gen i un ci (ddau gi) Mae gen i un gath (ddwy gath) Mae gynnon ni ddwy gath Oes gynnoch chi ffôn symudol?
