2. 		You remember the question:

			Oes brawd ‘da chi / gynnoch chi?
			- Have you got a brother?

	Using the same pattern, we can now ask:

			Oes ffôn ‘da chi ?
			Oes ffôn gynnoch chi? / Oes gynnoch chi ffôn?

	And you’ll remember how to say ‘yes’ to an ‘Oes?’ question:

					Oes		-	Yes
					Nac oes	-	No

	3.	You will soon realize - if you haven't done so already - that there 			are very many ways of saying 'Yes' and 'No' in Welsh. Here are the 		ones which you have met so far:

			Ydych chi?	-		(Nac) ydw!
			Ydy e(o)/hi?	-		(Nac) ydy!
			Ydyn nhw?	-		(Nac) ydyn!
			Ydyn ni?		-		(Nac) ydyn!
			Oes?			-		(Nac) oes!

4.	Do you remember the pattern?

		enw eich tad		-	your father's name    (the name of your father)
		gwaith eich brawd	-	your brother's work  (the work of your brother)

	We use the same pattern in:

		rhif eich ffôn		-	your telephone number  (the number of your 														‘phone)

			Beth ydy rhif eich ff™n?  -  Aberystwyth tri chwech saith un dim 										pedwar.
			-What's your telephone number?   -  Aberystwyth 367104.

	5.	Using the same pattern,we can ask:

			Beth ydy rhif eich tþ?  -  Naw.
			- What  is the number of your house?	-  Nine.

			Beth ydy rhif eich car?  -   L wyth dim un GWO
			-  What is the number of your car?  -   L801GWO

RHAN 2

	Let’s talk about other people

	1.		Oes car / tþ / ff™n 'da Cennard? 
			Oes car / tþ / ff™n gan Cennard? 
			- Has Cennard got a car / house / telephone?

			Oes!	   	-	Yes!		Nac oes!	-	No!

2. 		When talking about ’your’ number, the word ‘your’ comes between
	the word ‘rhif’ and the noun:

				rhif eich car			-	the number of your car
				rhif eich tþ			-	the number of your house
				rhif eich ffôn			-	the number of your ‘phone
										(your ‘phone number)

		When we speak of someone else these two words are not split up.
		The person of whom we are speaking comes after ‘rhif car / rhif tþ / 		rhif ffôn’etc.	

		rhif car Cennard		-	the number of Cennard's car
		rhif car eich tad		-	the number of your father's car			rhif tþ Bethan		-	the number of Bethan's house
		rhif tþ eich chwaer	-	the number of your sister's house
		rhif ff™n Basil		-	the number of Basil's 'phone
								Basil's 'phone number
		rhif ff™n yr Heddlu	-	the Police 'phone number
		rhif ff™n Catchphrase	-	The Catchphrase 'phone number
		rhif ff™n y BBC 		-	the BBC 'phone number
		rhif ff™n eich brawd	-	your brother's 'phone number

	3.	The traditional Welsh numbers between 10 and 20 are quite 	complicated, 		so for now, we'll use the simpler decimal system - though I have noted in 		brackets some of the traditional forms which you might like to learn.

				11	-	un deg un (un ar ddeg)
				12	-	un deg dau (deuddeg)
				14	-	un deg pedwar
				15	-	un deg pump (pymtheg)
				16	-	un deg chwech
				17	-	un deg saith
				18	-	un deg wyth (deunaw)
				19	-	un deg naw
				20	-	dau ddeg (ugain)

			- What's the number of your house?   -  Sixteen.
