Main Grammatical Points

Fe fydda i’n mynd or Mi fydda i’n mynd

Short form of the past tense

Fe welais i or mi welais i

The conditional tense

Fe fyddwn i’n mynd mi fyddwn i’n mynd; Fe faswn i’n mynd or mi faswn i’n mynd

The short forms fe hoffwn i or mi hoffwn i

Fe ddylwn i or mi ddylwn i

Generally, but not exclusively Fe is used in South Wales and Mi is used in north Wales
  
These forms effectively have no meanings and often do not feature in speech.  Note however that when this happens the soft mutation remains - for example

Welais i’r bachgen
Fydda i yna rwan
Ddylet ti fynd.

In more formal Welsh these verbs are not mutated.

Gwelais i 
Bydda i
Dylwn i

Fe and Mi are used sometimes to emphasise a verb for example 
Mi fydda i’n mynd – I will be going, Mi welais i or I did see him.

That seems quite a lot to say about two small little words.

Pa fath o

When Brian says that he is going to meet Jac Whelan Wendy asks:
Pa fath o fusnes

Pa fath o means What kind of

Here are some more examples

Pa fath o ddillad wyt ti’n wisgo?		What kind of clothes do you wear?
Pa fath o ffilmiau wyt ti’n wylio?		What kind of films do you watch?
Pa fath o fwyd wyt ti’n fwyta?		What kind of food do you eat?

Pa un

Pa un which in speech is shortened to P’un means simply which one

P’un wyt ti’n hoffi?			Which one do you like?
Pun ydy dy got di			Which one is your coat?
P’un welodd e				Which one did he see?

Ysbyty Brynaber: Episode 10

Brian, despite his reassurances to his wife, is still deeply involved with Wendy Keating.  He takes her out for a drink.

Duw a ŵyr beth fydd y bil ga i diwedd y mis…Hwyl am y tro!
Wendy - Nos yfory…?
Brian - Beth?
Wendy - The Stag and Head…Dyna pryd wyt ti'n propo'r bar ‘da'r creep Jac Whelan 'na, ie?
Brian - Nage…Fel mae hi'n digwydd…Heno…Ym mhen rhyw hanner awr.  
Wendy - You kidding me?
Brian - Sori.  Ond mae Jac yn gorfod mynd yn ôl i Birmingham heno.  Dyma'r unig gyfle ga i i 
siarad…
Wendy - What's so important that it can't be discussed over the phone?
Brian - Busnes.
Wendy - Pa fath o fusnes?
Brian - Jyst busnes.  Sori.  Dw i wedi rhoi fy ngair iddo fo rwan.  A dw i'n gorfod mynd a wel…fel'na

Wendy - Rho gusan i fi.  Un well na honna.
Brian - Paid â bod mor farus.
Wendy - You'll come back to me tonight?
Brian - Wendy…
Wendy - You'll come back.  Promise me, Bri?  Word of honour?
Brian - Edrycha: ddim ‘boy scout’ ydw i…
Wendy - Ti ddim yn mynd yn ôl ati hi?  Your bitch wife wyt ti?  You're not going to crawl back come 
stop tap tonight to that bog pit of a house full of your usual pathetic guilt and remorse?  I'm the one 
who's pregnant.  Not her.  Ti yn.  Typical…
Brian - Dw i ddim eisiai pigo ‘fight’ rwan.  O.K.?  Does gen i ddim amser…
Wendy - Yeah, yeah.  You go back to her…
Brian - Look: if you hadn't…
Wendy - Hadn't what?  
Brian - Heb wneud pethau yn anodd i fi yn y lle cynta, Agnes would have been none the wiser about 
us.  Ignorance is a good thing.  Ac mi faset ti a fi a hi yn hapus o hyd, heb yr holl ‘hassles’ yma!
Wendy - You just want everything your own way, Brian.  But life just doesn't work out like that.  What 
about my needs?  Our unborn baby's needs?

Wendy - Codi what?
Brian - Crachod.
Wendy - What the hell is crachod?
Brian - Scabs.  Your picking a scab.  And you know full well what you were doing by confronting 
Agnes, telling her all about us……
Wendy - Yes.  I had to.  Because you dithered.  Agnes or me.  You just wouldn't decide.  And I'm 
not passive little Wendy.  I had to take charge of the situation.  Because I don't want to lose you, 
Bri…
Brian - Trwy yrru tâp wnest ti ohono i ati hi?  Deall?  Or do you want me to spell it out in plain 
English?  You taped me, Wendy.  You made a secret tape behind my back -
Wendy - Under the table in the pub actually -
Brian - And sent it in the post to my wife.  And don't give me your usual Ton-yr-Efail bullshit.  O.K.?  
That was pure blackmail and nothing else!  
Wendy - Achos mod i'n dy garu ti.  I only did it because I love you.
Brian - Dw i'n amau weithiau.
Wendy - Beth?
Brian - Dw i'n amau weithiau.  
Wendy - What do you mean, ti'n amau weithiau?
Brian - Mae gen ti ffordd ryfedd iawn - you have a very odd way of showing that you love me.  
Wendy - That makes two of us then.
Brian - Does gen i ddim eisiau gadael y fflat yma rwan a ti a fi wedi ffraeo…
Wendy - Promise me you'll come back tonight then.
Brian - Alla i ddim.
Wendy - Ti'n gallu dod yn ôl…Pam ddim?  Dwed…
Brian - She's talking divorce.  Big time…
Wendy - Yeah.  Great.  It's what we've both wanted all along.  Then you're rid of the bitch.  Clean 
out of your life.  Mae'r crachen wedi mynd…
Wendy - Isn't it?…Well, obviously not.  It's what I've wanted.  Beth?  What are you afraid of?  That 
she'll fleece you?
Brian - Well i mi fynd.  Dw i ddim eisiau bod yn hwyr.  Siaradwn ni eto.
Wendy - A Brian?  Os wyt ti'n gweld copi o'r Evening Post - wnei di brynu un i fi?
Brian – Dwyt ti byth yn darllen hwnnw…
Wendy - Jyst in case they've found his body.  Poor Dic.  To die like that…
Brian - Boddi.  Uffern o beth…
Wendy - Will there be a funeral?
Brian – Does gen i ddim synaid.  Hei!  Well i fi fynd.

Wendy - …What's stopping you, Brian?  Nothing.  Absolutely nothing at all!  Does dim byd yn stopo 
ti rhag dweud wrth Agnes ble i fynd……!
Brian – Iawn!  Iawn!  Dyna ddigon am heno…!
Wendy - What about me?  What about our unborn baby?  
Brian - Wendy!
Wendy - We've got all the time in the world you keep on saying.  But how much more 
time does a man need to tell his wife where to go……?
Wendy - What's wrong?  You worried she's going to take you to the cleaners?  Is that it?  But you 
could move your assests off shore.  Allai Jac Whelan helpu ti wneud hynny.  Then you could really 
tell her where to go…
Brian - Ddim y pres sy'n fy mhoeni i.
Wendy - Wel, beth 'te?  Allet ti dal weld y plant…
Brian - Efallai.  Ond mi fasai hi'n creu bob math o ‘hassles’.…
Wendy – ‚Hassles’ fel beth?  Hasls fel beth, Brei?
Brian – Does dim ots.  Peint arall?
Wendy - Sit down a minute.  Fel beth?  What has she – what’s the word - bygwth you with?  That 
she won't let you see the kids?
Brian - Y gwnaiff hi bethau yn anodd i mi.
Wendy - That doesn't surprise me.  She's always been a vicious, vindictive cow.  You remember how 
she got me sacked from the hospital?  Saying how I slapped her…
Brian - Ond mi wnes di ei slapio hi!
Wendy - Do.  Ond dim ond ar ôl iddi hi roi slap i fi in the first place.  
Brian - Peint arall?  Maen nhw wedi canu cloch ‘stop tap’.  Ac os gei di beint arall, wneith o bara’n 
hirach…
Wendy - ‘Bara’n hirach?’ That's taken me back down memory lane big time.  Almost like a déjà 
vu……Bara'n hirach.  Means "it’ll last longer…"
Brian - Ia.  Para’n hirach.  Pam?  Be sy' mor ddoniol?
Wendy - Dic Allen.  
Brian - Y creadur bach.
Wendy - That's what he said to me once.  In this very pub when I first came here to work as a nurse.  
During Freshers Week it was.  Actually, he said it on this very seat.  Do you think that's a bad omen?  
Poor sod.  Now food to all those filthy fish in the Irish Sea…
Brian - Dw i'n gofyn eto: ti eisiau peint arall?  Am beth ti'n feddwl?  Dic Allen?…
Wendy - Ie.  Maybe he was the best thing that ever happened to me.  And I let him go.  Gadael 
iddo fe fynd to shack up with a stupid dithering half baked prat like you.  Boi sy'n gwrthod gadael ei 
wraig.  I've got to be daft, haven't I?
Brian - Dw i yn mynd i adael Agnes.  O.K.?
