Main Grammatical Points

Adverbs

This week we’ll pay some attention to forming adverbs in Welsh.  Adverbs in English are usually formed from adjectives by adding -ly - quick- quickly.

In Welsh yn is used to turn adjectives into adverbs. It causes soft mutation except in words beginning with ll and rh.

Here are some very common adverbs or adverbial phrases:

Diolch yn fawr			Thank you very much
Os gwelwch yn dda		Please 

Note that after a vowel the yn abbreviates to ’n

Fydda i ddim yn hir		I won’t be long
Mae’r gwesty’n llawn		The hotel’s full
Dw i’n fach			I’m small

Yn is also used to form adverbs from comparative forms of adjectives:

Rwyt ti’n edrych yn well heddiw			You’re looking better today
Mae e’n rhedeg yn gyflymach na fi		He runs faster than me
Roeddet ti’n gweiddi ’n uwch na phawb 	You were shouting louder than anyone

Remember however that with the equative degree (as… as) and the superlative degree the yn or ’n is omitted

Mae e wedi gwneud cystal â’i chwaer		He’s done as well as his sister
Nhw sy’n chwarae orau				It’s them that’s playing best

In Welsh there are many adverbs which are not formed from adjectives.  Here are a few examples:

Heno		tonight		Dw i’n mynd allan heno		I’m going out tonight
Eleni		this year	Es i Ffrainc eleni		I went to France this year	
Y llynedd	last year 	Ble est ti y llynedd?		Where did you go last year?
Ymlaen		on		Dewch ymlaen! 		Come on
Ddoe		yesterday	Es i’r gwaith ddoe		I went to work yesterday
 
To find

There are a number of forms in Welsh for the verb ‘to find’

Darganfod is used to convey the meaning ‘to discover’
Mae nhw wedi darganfod olew yn y môr.  They’ve found oil in the sea 

Ffeindio is a form that you’ll also find in every day speech 
	
Dwi wedi ffeindio fy mhwrs		I’ve found my purse

Notice however that Jac says:		Ddaeth neb byth o hyd i’w gorff o
					Nobody ever found his body.

Daeth o hyd comes from the verb dod o hyd i which means to find

Wyt ti wedi dod o hyd i’n sgidiau i	Have you found my shoes?

You’ll also hear the form cael hyd i	Which also means to find
