Shwmae maeshw pawb :smile:

I speak Welsh fluently, studied it up to GCSE level first language, spoken it since I was 3 and still speak it at uni, but remember my Welsh is very much spoken rather than writing, so what I say probably won't pass any exams for you, but it's how we say it oop North.

Dwi'n casau fo/e.
Mae o'n hoffi fi.
Gwelsom nhw ni.

Diolch yn fawr!

I don't need to pass any more exams :biggrin:

just want to improve it!

Aah, I see, what's the difference between fo and e?

Not sure. Most people I know use "fo", and I use "fo", because it sounds better when speaking :tongue:

Rhaid i fi ymarfer y iaith mwy aml. Dwi wedi anghofio llawe o Gymraeg ers gadael yr ysgol achos fi'n byw yn Lloegr nawr. Fi'n Lewis a dwi'n astudio'r ieithoedd (Ffrangeg a Sbaeneg) yn UCL yn Llundain.

Hefyd: Mae e'n yw "he" yn y de ond mae o'n yw "he" yn y gogledd. Ni'n defnyddio "gyda" (neu 'da) i ddweud "with" yn y de, dwi'n meddwl gen yw'r gair gogledd. Sai'n defnyddio fe pan dwi'n siarad :smile:

Pob lwc i bawb sy'n trio dysgu'r iaith (neu gwella, fel fi) :biggrin:

Btw just to let you know - if you're learning don't be scared; Welsh speakers are fine if you slip in English words/English structures if you're unsure. They're usually over the moon when anyone makes an effort :smile:

I'n the South it's "e" and "fe". I use "fe" when the preceding word ends in "o" - like "dwi'n gwylio fe", but I haven't done grammar in a while :colondollar:

Ymarfer yw "practise" neu "exercise". Ymarfer corff = physical education yn yr ysgol (literally, body exercise).

Tip: Instead of saying dwi ddim/dydw i ddim in informal Welsh you can just use "sai'n" - Dwi ddim yn hoffi - sai'n hoffi, sai'n gwybod etc. :smile:
