Catchphrase 2000 Wythnos 31

Week 31, Monday.  Today, you'll learn:

Mae’r car ’da fi, mae’n bwrw hen wragedd a ffyn, yn fuan

Let’s remind ourselves of how you say you’ve got something in Welsh.  You use the word gyda, of course.  Mae cot gyda fi - (I’ve got a coat), does dim cot gyda fi - (I haven’t got a coat). In previous lessons when Guto was speaking, gyda is often shortened to just ’da in everyday speech.  Mae’r car ’da fi - (I’ve got the car).  If you remember, mae’n bwrw glaw means it’s raining.  There are variations on this phrase, such as mae’n pistyllio - don’t worry about pronouncing it at the moment. It literally means its pouring.  We had the word prysur some time ago: busy.  Wyt ti’n brysur? - (Are you busy?)  Yn fuan is a phrase meaning soon.  Dw i’n gorffen yn fuan - (I’m finishing soon).  Remember the word clebran?  It means gossip.  We had the word gwraig sometime back, as well. Wife - Gwraig.  

Listen to the dialogue:
Bethan - Diwedd mawr!  Mae’n pistyllio!
Guto - Mmm. Bore da, Caerdydd dau dim wyth pedwar, dau saith tri pump...
Catrin - Guto, Catrin sy yma. Pan est ti allan y bore ’ma, anghofiaist ti…
Guto - Catrin, mae’n flin ’da fi, ond dw i’n brysur iawn.  Mae contract mawr newydd ’da ni.  Dw i’n mynd allan yn fuan.  Does dim amser ’da fi i glebran.
Catrin - Guto, dw i ddim yn clebran.  Dy wraig di dw i...
Guto - Wrth gwrs.  Beth ro’t ti eisiau ’ddweud?
Catrin - Wel, Guto, mae’n bwrw glaw, a dydy dy got di ddim gyda ti.  Anghofiaist ti dy got di!

Mae’n pistyllio, Bethan exclaims - it’s pouring.  But Guto sounds a bit distracted, though.  The last thing he’s expecting is Catrin’s voice on the line.  Catrin sy' yma - (it’s Catrin here).  Pan est ti allan y bore ’ma, anghofiaist ti… she starts to say.  When you went out this morning you forgot your … But it sounds as though Guto is too busy to talk.  Mae contract mawr newydd ’da ni - (we’ve got a big new contract).  Dw i’n mynd allan yn fuan - (I’m going out soon), does dim amser ’da fi i glebran - (I’ve got no time to gossip).  Not a very kind thing to say.  Dw i ddim yn clebran, Catrin says, dy wraig di dw i - (I’m your wife).  Guto sees his mistake - beth ro’t ti eisiau ’ddweud?  It turns out Catrin has some useful information to impart - what is it? Anghofiaist ti dy got di - (you forgot your coat).  

Week 31, Tuesday.  Today, you'll learn:

mae llwnc tost gyda fi, pen, llwnc, cefn, teimlo’n sâl, ar fy nhraed i, o leiaf, codi o’r gwely

We had a number of examples of how to say you’ve got something in the last lesson.  Now this construction is very useful when you’re talking about ailments.  Mae pen tost gyda fi, literally I’ve got an ill head, or as you’d say in English, I’ve got a headache.  Mae llwnc tost gyda fi - (I’ve got an ill throat, or much better, I’ve got a sore throat).  Llwnc tost - (sore throat).  Cefn tost is a bad back.  Easy, isn’t it? Teimlo’n sâl is to feel ill.  As you can guess, there’s going to be a lot of whingeing in this conversation!  Another body word: traed it means feet.  Fy nhraed i are my feet.  This word is handy when you say someone is up, in other words, that they’re out of bed.  Dw i ar fy nhraed i - (I’m up, literally, I’m on my feet).  Codi is the verb to get up.  Codi o’r gwely - (to get out of bed).  O leiaf means at least.  Dw i’n gallu cerdded, o leiaf - (I can walk, at least).  Heb is a little word meaning without - 'Dych chi wedi mynd allan heb eich cot chi - (You’ve gone out without your coat).  Do you remember how to tell the time? Let’s remind ourselves of a couple of phrases.  What does this mean?  Mae’n naw o’r gloch - yes, it’s nine o’clock.  Mae’n hanner awr wedi naw - (It’s half past nine). We join the Lloyd family at the start of the day, see if you can work out why Guto is feeling so ill.  

Listen to the dialogue:
Catrin - Beth sy’n bod, Guto?  Pam dwyt ti ddim ar dy draed?  Mae’n hanner awr wedi wyth.
Guto - O, Catrin.  Mae llwnc tost gyda fi.
Catrin - Wel, rwyt ti’n gallu codi, o leiaf.
Guto - Nac ydw.  Mae cefn tost gyda fi, hefyd.  Ac mae pen tost gyda fi.  Dw i eisiau aros yn y gwely.
Catrin - Do’t ti ddim yn teimlo’n sâl ddoe, o’t ti?
Guto - Nac o’n.
Catrin - Est ti allan yn y glaw ddoe heb dy got di, dyna pam!

So what did Guto do wrong?  Est ti allan yn y glaw ddoe heb dy got di - (you went out in the rain yesterday without your coat), dyna pam - (that’s why!)  Catrin started by asking Guto beth sy’n bod? - (what’s wrong?)  Pam dwyt ti ddim ar dy draed di? - (Why aren’t you up?)  Mae’n hanner awr wedi wyth - what’s the time?  Yes, it’s half past eight.  At first Catrin can’t understand why she’s got such a sick husband: do’t ti ddim yn teimlo’n sâl ddoe, o’t ti? - (You weren’t feeling ill yesterday, were you?) 

Week 31, Wednesday.  Today, you'll learn:

rhaid, y meddyg, y ffliw, dim yn hanner da

Sut mae pethau?  We’ve learnt how to say something is wrong with someone.  For example, mae llwnc tost gyda hi - (she’s got a sore throat).  Another handy expression is bola tost, literally an ill stomach, but translating more as feeling sick in the stomach.  Mae bola tost gyda fi - (I have a stomach ache).  Doctor is the way you address a doctor in Welsh, but the actual word for a doctor is meddyg.  And if you go to the doctor, ’dych ddim yn hanner da, literally, you’re not half good, or as you’d say in English, you’re not feeling very well.  We're using a very handy new word in this lesson - rhaid. It literally means necessary, but is used in all sorts of contexts when you mean someone has got to do something.  It can be used on its own, such as rhaid mynd adref, literally necessary to go home, but depending on the context it could mean we’ve got to go home or people have got to go home.  If you want to refer to specific people, you add i and the person: so rhaid i fi - (I’ve got to).  Rhaid i fi edrych ar ôl y baban - (I’ve got to look after the baby).  Rhaid i chi aros gartref - (you’ve got to wait at home).  Rhaid i ni siopa - (we’ve got to shop).  Look out for examples of rhaid in the Lloyd family conversations.  In the following scene Catrin has been urged to ring the doctor by Guto who, if you remember, is in bed not feeling too well.  

Listen to the dialogue:
Guto - Mae pen tost gyda fi.
Catrin - Helo, doctor?  Catrin Lloyd sydd yma... Ie... Na, fy ngwr i, Guto.  Dydy e ddim yn hanner da... Dydy e ddim yn gallu codi o’r gwely.  Mae llwnc tost gyda fe, mae pen tost gyda fe, ac mae cefn tost gyda fe. ... Nac oes, does dim bola tost gyda fe... Iawn, hwyl. 
Guto - Oo... Fy mhen i!
Catrin - Hy, y ffliw, fel ro’n i’n meddwl!  Does dim byd mae’r meddyg yn gallu ’wneud.  Rhaid i ti aros yn y gwely.

Catrin Lloyd sydd yma - (it’s Catrin Lloyd here).  Obviously the doctor first thinks she’s phoning about herself - na, fy ngwr i - (no, my husband).  Dydy e ddim yn hanner da - (he’s not feeling at all well).  Dydy e ddim yn gallu codi o’r gwely - (he can’t get out of bed).  Mae llwnc tost gyda fe - (he’s got a sore throat), mae pen tost gyda fe - (headache), mae cefn tost gyda fe - (a bad back).  The doctor must then ask her a question, because she says nac oes, does dim bola tost gyda fe - (no, he doesn’t have a stomach ache). Guto puts on a good show of his suffering - Fy mhen i! - (My head!) but Catrin knows what she needs to know:  Y ffliw, fel ro’n i’n meddwl - (The flu, as I thought).  Does dim byd mae’r meddyg yn gallu ’wneud - (there’s nothing the doctor can do).  Rhaid i ti aros yn y gwely - (you’ve got to stay in bed).  

Week 31, Thursday.  Today, you'll learn:

oes rhywbeth yn bod? Stopio, yn arfer, heddwch, crïo

Stopio is a useful word.  You won’t be surprised to learn it means to stop.  So stopio gwneud rhywbeth is to stop doing something.  Mae e’n mynd i stopio ysgmygu - (he’s going to stop smoking).  We can use this verb with rhaid.  Rhaid i chi stopio ysmygu - (you’ve got to stop smoking). Rhaid i chi ffonio eich tad chi - (you must phone your father).  Now, we’ve heard the question beth sy’n bod - (what’s wrong?)  To ask if something specific is wrong, you can say, oes rhywbeth yn bod? - (Is something wrong?)  The answer is, obviously, oes - (yes), or nac oes - (no).  We’ve used yn arfer in the past where it means used to - ro’n nhw’n arfer ysmygu - (they used to smoke).  It can also mean usually, especially in the present.  Maen nhw’n arfer ysmygu yn y bore - (They usually smoke in the morning).  Dw i’n arfer cysgu ar y penwythnos - (I usually sleep at weekends).  New words: heddwch - it’s what you want on Sunday: peace.  Crïo is to cry.  Mae hi’n crïo - (she’s crying).  Rhys has been left looking after his baby sister, Llinos. See if you can find out what’s wrong with Llinos.

Listen to the dialogue:
Rhys - Oes rhywbeth yn bod, Llinos? Beth sy’n bod, Llinos? Rhaid i ti stopio crïo.  Dwyt ti ddim yn arfer crïo pan mae Mam yn mynd allan.  Oes pen tost gyda ti?  Nac oes?  Oes bola tost gyda ti?  Nac oes?  Ydy dy botel gyda ti? Nac ydy, dydy hi ddim.  Dyna beth sy’n bod!  Ble mae hi? Dyma hi, ar y llawr.  Dyna ti! Aa... heddwch!

Did you spot what was wrong with Llinos?  Yes, ei photel hi - (her bottle).  Roedd hi ar y llawr - (it was one the floor).  What does Rhys say to his sister?  Oes rhywbeth yn bod, Llinos? - (Is there something wrong, Llinos?)  Then beth sy’n bod, Llinos? - (what’s wrong, Llinos?)  Rhaid i ti stopio crïo - (you’ve got to stop crying).  Dwyt ti ddim yn arfer crïo pan mae Mam yn mynd allan - (you don’t usually cry when Mam goes out).  Oes pen tost gyda ti? - (Have you got a headache?)  Oes bola tost gyda ti? -  (Have you got a stomach ache?)  Ydy dy botel gyda ti? - (Have you got your bottle?)  Dyna beth sy’n bod - (that’s what’s wrong, that’s what’s up).  Dyma hi, ar y llawr - (here it is, on the floor).  

Week 31, Friday.  Today, you'll learn:

oedd rhywbeth yn bod? ydy rhywbeth yn bod ar Llinos? penwythnos, ar y penwythnos

Sut ’dych chi?  Oes rhywbeth yn bod? - (Is there anything wrong?)  You could also ask someone, oedd rhywbeth yn bod? - (was there something wrong?) Beth oedd yn bod? - (What was wrong?)  When we say something is wrong with someone, or something, we use ar - (on).  Oes rhywbeth yn bod ar Llinos? - (Is something wrong with Llinos?) literally, is something wrong on Llinos?  Oedd rhywbeth yn bod ar dy fam di? - (Was there something wrong with your mother?) Oedd, roedd pen tost gyda hi - (yes, she had a headache).  This lesson includes some verbs that we’ve already been using, but it’s worth reminding ourselves of them.  Ffonio - that’s easy enough isn’t it - to phone.  Ffoniais i ti neithiwr - (I phoned you last night).  Anghofio - (to forget), anghofiaist ti - (you forgot).  You’ll also use gweld - (to see).  Dw i’n mynd i weld y ffilm - (I’m going to see the film).  Teimlo is to feel.  'Dych chi’n teimlo’n sâl? - (Are you feeling ill?)  You’ll also be using the word efallai - (perhaps) and penwythnos - (weekend).  To say at the weekend, we use ar: ar y penwythnos - (at the weekend). Rhys gets a phone call from his friend, Daniel.

Listen to the dialogue:
Daniel - Ffoniaist ti ddim neithiwr.  Beth oedd yn bod?
Rhys - Mae’n flin ’da fi, anghofiais i.  Ro’n i’n edrych ar ôl y baban.  Roedd rhywbeth yn bod ar Llinos.  Roedd pen tost gyda hi neu rywbeth.  Wyt ti eisiau mynd i weld Gladiator ar y penwythnos?
Daniel - Efallai.
Rhys - Pam dim ond efallai?
Daniel - Wel, dw i’n teimlo’n sâl.  Mae cefn tost gyda fi.

Ffoniaist ti ddim neithiwr - (you didn’t phone last night), Daniel complains.  Beth oedd yn bod? - (What was wrong?)  Anghofiais i - (I forgot), admits Rhys.  Ro’n i’n edrych ar ôl y baban - (I was looking after the baby).  Roedd rhywbeth yn bod ar Llinos - (Something was wrong with Llinos).  Roedd pen tost gyda hi neu rywbeth - (She had a headache, or something).  Then Rhys changes the subject: wyt ti eisiau mynd i weld Gladiator ar y penwythnos? - (Do you want to go and see Gladiator at the weekend?)  Efallai, says Daniel - perhaps.  Pam dim ond efallai? - (Why only perhaps?)  The answer - dw i’n teimlo’n sâl - (I’m feeling poorly), mae cefn tost gyda fi - (I’ve got a bad back).
