RHAN 1

1. 		In Gwers 3 you learnt how to ask - and reply to - the questions:

				Pwy ydw i?		-	Who am I?
				Pwy ydych chi?	-	Who are you?

		Now learn:

				Pwy ydy hi?		-	Who is she?
				Pwy ydy e? (S.W.)	-	Who is he?
				Pwy ydy o? (N.W.)
				Pwy ydyn nhw?	-	Who are they?

2. 		You can reply by naming the person(s):

				Pwy ydy hi?  -  Mair!
- Who is she?  -  Mair!

Pwy ydy e (o)?  -  Bill!
- Who is he?  -  Bill!

Pwy ydyn nhw?  -  Mair a Bill!
- Who are they?  Mair and Bill!

			or you can use a complete sentence. Remember that the name comes first:

				Pwy ydy hi?  -  Mair ydy hi!
				- Who is she?  -  She’s Mair.
				
Pwy ydy e (o)?  -  Bill ydy e (o)!
- Who is he?  -  He’s Bill!

Pwy ydyn nhw?  -  Mair a Bill ydyn nhw!
		     - Who are they?  They’re Mair and Bill!

	2.	I'm sure you recall the questions:

			Ble rydych chi'n byw / gweithio / siopa / chwarae rygbi?
                          Ble rydw i’n gweithio?
			Ble rydyn ni’n chwarae?

		This time, let's ask about Gareth.
		
			Ble mae Gareth yn byw?
			- Where is Gareth living? (Where does Gareth live?)

			Ble mae e(o)'n gweithio?
- Where is he working? (Where does he work?)

3. 		As you know by now, you can reply simply;

			 Ble mae Gareth yn byw?  -   Ym Mhorthmadog! 
		               - Where does Gareth live  -   In Porthmadog!

			Ble mae e(o)'n gweithio?  -  Yng Nghricieth!
			 - Where does he work?  -  In Cricieth!

	The full replies would be:
		
			Mae Gareth yn byw ym Mhorthmadog.
			- Gareth is living (lives) in Porthmadog.

			Mae e(o)'n gweithio yng Nghricieth.
			- He is working (works) in Cricieth.

	4.	Change the name Gareth to Gwen and the pattern is just the same.
		
			Ble mae Gwen yn gweithio?  -  (Mae Gwen yn gweithio) yn BHS.
			- Where does Gwen work?  -  (Gwen works) in BHS. 

			Ble mae hi’n chwarae golff?  -  (Mae hi’n chwarae golff) yn Llanelli.
			- Where does she play golf?  -  (She plays golf) in Llanelli.

RHAN 2

1. 		You already know the following:

			Dydw i ddim 			-	I’m not  (I don’t)
			Dydych chi ddim		-	You’re not  (You don’t)
			Dydyn ni ddim			-	We aren’t  ( We don’t)

	Now we can add:

			Dydy e (o) ddim			-	He isn’t  (He doesn’t)
			Dydy hi ddim			-	She isn’t  (She doesn’t)
			Dydy Mair / Tom ddim	-	Mair / Tom isn’t  
								(Mair / Tom doesn’t)

	Examples;

		Dydy Gwyn ddim yn byw yng Nghaerdydd ond mae e'n byw yn 			Abertawe.
		- Gwyn doesn't live in Cardiff but he lives in Swansea.

		Dydy Geraint ddim yn gweithio yn Llandudno rðan ond mae o'n 			gweithio yn Llanrwst.
		- Geraint doesn't work in Llandudno now but he works in Llanrwst.

		Dydy hi ddim yn byw yma nawr.
		- She doesn't live (isn’t living) here now.

2. 		Let's look at the way place names beginning with ‘B’ change after the 		word 'yn'.

			Bangor			-	ym Mangor
			Bedwas			-	ym Medwas
		Blaenau Ffestiniog		-	ym Mlaenau Ffestiniog

		We find it easier to change 'yn' to 'ym' in front of words which begin 			naturally with the letter ‘M’:
	
		ym Machynlleth  		ym Merthyr Tudful
		ym Maesteg 			ym Mynachlogddu

	3.	We need to look at one more verb form:

		Maen nhw	      -	They are  (They do)

		Ble maen nhw'n byw?
		- Where are they living? (Where do they live?)

		Maen nhw'n byw ym Mangor.
		- They are living (They live) in Bangor.

		Maen nhw’n hoffi pizza.
		- They like pizza.

		Notice that the plural form 'maen' is only used with the pronoun 'nhw' 			(they).  When a noun is used - even if it is plural (like 'plant' - 				'children') or when more than one personal name is used, the verb 			remains singular - 'mae'.

		Mae Bill a Ben yn gweithio yn Llandaf.
		Mae'r plant yn gweithio yn Llandaf.
		Maen nhw'n gweithio yn Llandaf.

		Ble mae Bill  a Ben yn byw?
		Ble mae'r plant yn byw?
		Ble maen nhw'n byw?

4. 		Negative

		D(yd)yn nhw ddim  	-	They’re not  (They don’t)

			D(yd)yn nhw ddim yn byw ym Mangor.
			- They don't live (They aren’t living) in Bangor.

			D(yd)yn nhw ddim yn hoffi pasta.
			- They don’t like pasta.                     

	Again, it is important to note that the singular verb is used with more 		than one personal name and with a plural noun.

			Dydy'r plant ddim yn hoffi coffi.
			Dydy Bryn a Mair ddim yn hoffi te.
			Dydyn nhw ddim yn hoffi ymarfer.

5. 		The verb ‘bod’ (to be)

		  			  singular			  

		1.  Rydw i			1.  Dydw i ddim	
2. 	 Rydych chi		   	2.  Dydych chi ddim
3.  Mae Tom / Gwen		3.  Dydy Tom / Gwen ddim	
     Mae e(o) / hi		              Dydy e(o) / hi ddim
			     
						    plural

			1.  Rydyn ni			1.  Dydyn ni ddim
			2.  Rydych chi			2.  Dydych chi ddim
			3.  Maen nhw			3.  Dydyn nhw ddim					

	6.	A possible conversation; 
							
		Emyr:	Shwmai Aled?
		Aled:	Shwmai Emyr? (Very rudely pointing to a lady:) Pwy ydy 					hi?
		Emyr:	O - Bethan (ydy hi).
		Aled:	Ble mae Bethan yn byw?
		Emyr:	Mae hi'n byw yng Nghonwy ond dydy hi ddim yn gweithio 				yng 	Nghonwy.
		Aled:	(again rudely pointing - this time to a man:) Pwy ydy e?
		Emyr:	Rhys (ydy e).
		Aled:	Ble mae e'n byw?
		Emyr:	Yng Nghonwy hefyd.
		Aled:	Ble mae Bethan a Rhys yn gweithio?
		Emyr:	Dydyn nhw ddim yn gweithio yng Nghonwy.  Maen nhw'n 				gweithio yn Abergele.  Ac maen nhw'n hoffi gweithio yno.
