CYFLWYNYDD:   BASIL DAVIES

NOD:	Discussing work and jobs - gwaith a swyddi.

		A lot of new vocabulary concerning jobs and professions will be 			introduced in this lesson. Don’t try to learn them all at once! Learn 
		the ones which are relevant to you and your family / friends first
		and then learn the others gradually  -  a couple every day, 	perhaps.

RHAN 1

	1.	eich	  -	your	('polite' singular + plural)
	dy	  -	your	 ('familiar' singular)

		There is a Soft Mutation after 'dy' but no mutation after ‘eich’

			gwaith	-	dy waith		eich gwaith
			mam	-	dy fam		eich mam
			tad	-	dy dad		eich tad

	2.	Beth ydy dy waith?			-	     What's your work?
	Beth ydy eich gwaith?
	(Beth ydy'ch gwaith?)

	3.	As with introducing yourself, 

				Nigel ydw i

		the information comes first:

			Plismon ydw i.					
			- I'm a policeman.

			Nyrs ydw i.					
			- I'm a nurse.

			Swyddog Datblygu gyda'r Cyngor Chwaraeon ydw i.	
    			- I'm a Development Officer with the Sports Council.

	4.	Instead of naming the job we could say:

			'Dw i'n gweithio yn Ysbyty Gwynedd / yn Boots.
			- I work in Ysbyty Gwynedd / in Boots.

			'Dw i'n gweithio mewn garej.
			- I work in a garage.

			‘Dw i’n gweithio mewn siop.
			- I work in a shop.
	And we could combine the two replies:

			Beth ydy'ch gwaith?
			- What’s your work / job?

			'Dw i'n gweithio yn Ysbyty Gwynedd.  Nyrs ydw i.
			- I work in Ysbyty Gwynedd. I’m a nurse.

			'Dw i'n gweithio mewn garej.  Mecanic ydw i.
			- I work in a garage. I’m a mechanic.

			'Dw i'n gweithio gyda'r Cyngor Chwaraeon.  Swyddog Datblygu 		    	ydw i.
			- I work with the Sports Council. I’m a  Development Officer.

	5.	Do you remember the pattern?

		rhif ff™n eich gwraig 	-	   your wife's 'phone number
		enw eich chwaer		-	   your sister’s name										

	We use the same pattern to say:

		gwaith eich gwraig / chwaer /	-   your wife / sister / mother’'s work
		mam / merch
		gwaith dy wraig / chwaer / 
		fam / ferch

		gwaith eich gðr / brawd /	 -    your husband / brother / father / son’s 
		tad / mab 					      work
		gwaith dy ðr / frawd / 
		dad / fab

			Beth ydy gwaith eich gwraig?	(to a ‘chi’ person)
			Beth ydy gwaith dy wraig?		(to a ‘ti’ person)
			- What's your wife's work?

			Beth ydy gwaith eich brawd?		(to a ‘chi’ person)
			Beth ydy gwaith dy frawd?		(to a ‘ti’ person)
			- What's your brother’s work?

			Beth ydy gwaith eich gðr?		(to a ‘chi’ person)
			Beth ydy gwaith dy ðr?			(to a ‘ti’ person)
			- What's your husband’s work?

	6.	As with answers about  yourself, the information comes first

			Gwraig tþ ydy hi.		
			- She's a housewife.

			Ysgrifenyddes ydy hi.	
			- She's a secretary.

			Meddyg ydy e (o).				
			- He's a doctor.

			Mecanic ydy hi.					
			- She's a mechanic.

	7.	Learn the following expressions:	

			Dydy hi ddim yn gweithio.	-	She isn't working/doesn't work.
		Mae hi wedi ymddeol.			-	She's retired.
		Mae hi’n ddiwaith.				-	She’s unemployed.

		Dydy e (o) ddim yn gweithio.	-		He isn't working/doesn't work.
		Mae e (o) wedi ymddeol.		-	He's retired.	
		Mae e (o)’n ddiwaith.			-	He’s unemployd.	

	8.	It is important for you to realize that if you don't know the Welsh 			word for a job or profession - use the English word and don't  			apologise!

			'Judge' ydw i!
			'Barrister' ydy hi!
			'Member of Parliament' ydy e (o)!

RHAN 2

	1.	You'll remember that there is no need to translate 's into Welsh.

	All you need to do is place the person's name after the noun.

			           gwaith John     -	John's work
			           gwaith Mair     -	Mair’s work

			Beth ydy gwaith John?
			- What is John's work?

			Beth ydy gwaith Mair?
			- What's Mair's job?

	Again the information comes first in the replies 

			Swyddog Datblygu ydy hi  / ydy Mair.
			- She / Mair's  a Development Officer.
	
			Sylwebydd rygbi ydy e (o) / ydy John.
			- He / John's a rugby commentator.

	2.	Adults often ask children the following question:

			Beth rwyt ti eisiau bod?
			Beth rydych chi eisiau bod?
		          - What do you want to be?

	Don't expect very elaborate answers.  One word or a phrase will do!

			Spaceman!   Peilot!   Grand Prix Driver!   Model!   Film Star!   			Canwr Pop!

	3.	We could, of course, talk about the past:

		Beth oedd gwaith eich tad (dy dad)?
		- What was your father's work?

		Athro oedd e (o).
		-He was a teacher.

		Roedd e (o)'n gweithio mewn siop.
		- He worked (was working) in a shop.

		Ble roedd eich mam yn gweithio?
		- Where was your mother working?

			Roedd hi'n gweithio mewn ffatri.
			- She was working in a factory.

			Doedd hi ddim yn gweithio.
			- She wasn't working.

			Roedd hi’n ddiwaith.
			- She was unemployed.

	4.	Sgwrs.

	John and Mair haven't seen each other for a few years!

		John:	Mair?
		Mair:	Ie.  Wel, John!  Sut rwyt ti ers llawer dydd?
		John:	Da iawn, diolch.  Sut mae pethau?
		Mair:	Eitha' da.  Ble rwyt ti'n byw nawr?

		Mair:	Ydw, diolch byth.  Derbynwraig mewn Canolfan 				Chwaraeon yn Abertawe ydw i.  Ydy dy wraig yn 				gweithio?
		John:	Ydy, clerc mewn tß bwyta ym Merthyr ydy hi.  Mae fy 			merch yn gweithio yno hefyd - fel cogyddes.
		Mair:	Mae mab 'da ti hefyd.  Ydy e'n gweithio?
		John:	Mae Dafydd yn yr ysgol o hyd.

		Mair:	A beth mae e eisiau bod?
		John:	Popeth!  Doctor, chwaraewr rygbi, sylwebydd rygbi, 				gyrrwr tacsi... Ydy dy ðr yn gweithio?
		Mair:	Yn anffodus, mae Bryn yn ddiwaith.  Gyrrwr lori oedd e.
