Words in English with differnt meanings in Welsh

In our grammar slot we’ll take a look at words in English that have different meanings when translated into Welsh.

Let’s start with Welsh itself:

The Welsh language and matters relating to the language are Cymraeg
Ysgolion Cymraeg 	Welsh schools 
llyfr Cymraeg 		Welsh book
Capel Cymraeg 	Welsh chapel

Matters pertaining to things Welsh are Cymreig
Dillad Cymreig 		Welsh Clothes 
Cig Cymreig 		Welsh meat
Telyn Gymreig 		Welsh harp

The same is also true of other nations and cultures:

Almaeneg		German Language
Almeinig 		Relating to things German 
Ffrangeg		French language 
Ffrengig 		Relating to things French
Gwyddeleg		Irish language
Gwyddelig		relating to things Irish

Be careful too when you are spelling Cymru -Cymru ending in a u is the country and Cymry ending in y are the Welsh people.

There are two ways of translating the question form How

Sut /Pa mor

Sut is always followed by a verb form:

Sut wyt ti?			How are you?
Sut roedd y tywydd?		How was the weather?
Sut byddi di’n teithio?		How will you be travelling?
Sut gorffennodd y gêm?		How did the game finish?
Sut baset ti’n dweud?		How would you say?

The other form for How is Pa mor?
Pa mor is always followed by an adjective

Pa mor hen ydy e?		How old is he?
Pa mor hwyr fyddi di?		How late will you be?
Pa mor bell ydy hi i Fangor?	How far is it to Bangor?

Verbs beginning with ‘ym’

Have you noticed that a number of Welsh verbs begin with the prefix -ym.  These verbs are known as reflexive verbs where the person carrying out the action also receives the action.

Golchi is to wash 	ymolchi is to wash oneself
Dangos is to show	ymddangos is to appear or literally to show oneself
Gweld to see		ymweld is to visit
Lladd o kill		ymladd to fight
Gwrthod to refuse	ymwrthod to reject
