Dw i- I am (this can go at the beginning of a
sentence or at the endDw i’n oer; dw i wedi blino; Sandra dw i= I am
cold, I’m tired, I’m Sandra.
Dw i’n dysgu Cymraeg- I’m learning Welsh;
dw i’n mynd i Toronto- I’m going to Toronto.





Mae means basically ‘is’ or ‘there is’. It
usually only goes at the beginning of a
sentence:
Mae hi’n gynnes heddiw- It’s warm today
Mae hi’n bwrw eira- It’s snowing
Mae Sandra wedi blino- Sandra’s tired.
Mae o’n dysgu Ffrangeg- he’s learning
French.





Ydy can come at the beginning of a sentence
as a question:
Ydy hi’n bwrw glaw-Is it raining?
Ydy Dewi yn mynd i Montreal? –Is Dewi going
to Montreal?
When it stands alone, it is the answer ‘yes’ to
a question that uses ‘ydy’.
Ydy hi’n wyntog? Ydy. Is it windy? Yes.






Ydy can also come in the middle of a
sentence when there is a bit of emphasis on
another word (eg a name, proffession,
natioality)
Cymro ydy John- John is a Welshman
Deintyddes ydy Sandra-Sandra is a dentist
Risiart ydy o- he’s Richard.
These sentences can also be questions.
Dewi ydy o? Is he Dewi?





Oes usually occurs at the beginning of a
sentence and also means ‘is’ and ‘yes’. Often
at the beginning of a sentence it means ‘is
there...’? It cannot be followed by ‘y’ meaning
‘the’.
Oes bara yn yr oergell? Is there (any) bread in
the fridge?
Oes digon o amser? Is there enough time.
Standing alone, oes means ‘yes’ but only to a
question that uses oes.
Oes heddwch? Oes.




When these forms are negative (ie- is not
etc), their form changes:
Mae becomes dydy (when followed by a noun
or pronoun) and also brings in another word
ddim which marks the negative, compare
French ne...pas:
Dydy hi ddim yn oer heddiw- It isn’t cold
today
Dydy John ddim yn medru siarad CymraegJohn is not able to speak Welsh



With sentences like ‘Cymro ydy John’, the
negative is formed differently, the word ‘nid’
comes first:
Nid Cymro ydy John. (In regional Welsh, you
will find forms like ‘nage Cymro ydy John’)
Athrawes ydy Sandra? Nage, nid athrawes ydy
hi, ond gwraig fusnes.



When mae has no noun or pronoun (hi, o, a
person’s name or the word for ‘the’ y/yr/’r)
after it, the negative is not dydy but does
dim.
Mae bara yn yr oergell- there is bread in the
fridge.
Does dim bara yn yr oergell- there isn’t any
bread in the fridge.

Oes is used a lot in the construction in Welsh
that corresponds to the verb ‘to have’
(possession) in English, and avoir in French
(but in the construction of tenses).

Mae gen i un ci (ddau gi)
Mae gen i un gath (ddwy gath)

Mae gynnon ni ddwy gath
