Grammar[edit | edit source]
Beth sy'n bod?[edit | edit source]
This phrase means What's wrong?
More examples:
- Beth sy'n bod ar John?
- Beth sy'n bod ar Mary?
So you must use the preposition ar (on) with this phrase to ask about other people. Beth sy'n bod ar [someone]?
Like the preposition i (to, for), ar has several personal forms:
- arna i (on me)
- arnat ti (on you)
- arno fe (on him)
- arni hi (on her)
- arnon ni (on us)
- arnoch chi (on you)
- arnyn nhw (on them)
In use:
- Beth sy'n bod arna i?
- Beth sy'n bod arnat ti?
- Beth sy'n bod arno fe?
- Beth sy'n bod arni hi?
- Beth sy'n bod arnon ni?
- Beth sy'n bod arnoch chi?
- Beth sy'n bod arnyn nhw?
Talking about illness[edit | edit source]
Like when talking about possession, we must use the Oes/Mae patterns for talking about illness. Oes is for questions, and Mae is for statements.
Certain illnesses use the gyda (with) pattern:
- Mae pen tost gyda fi.
- I have a headache
Certain illnesses use the ar (on) pattern:
- Mae annwyd arno fe.
- He has a cold.
The general rule of thumb is: if the illness mentions a body part, use gyda. If the illness does not, use ar.
