Brian was convinced that Agnes was having an affair with Jac and challenged her about it.

Brian - Rwyt ti’n gweld Jac, yn dwyt ti?
Agnes - Beth sy’n gwneud i ti feddwl hynny?
Brian - Dwyt ti ddim yn gwadu ynte?
Agnes - Pwy ddywedodd wrthyt ti?
Brian - Mae o’n wir yn tydy? 
Agnes - Pwy ddywedodd...?
Brian - Paid â gwadu!  Dwi’n gwybod ei fod o’n wir...!
Agnes - Ateb fi, wnei di!  Pwy ddywedodd wrthyt ti?
Brian - Arwyn Saunders

Agnes told him not to pay attention to Arwyn’s drunken ramblings.  However, Brian is still convinced that Agnes is seeing someone and threatens to kill any man who’s having an affair with her.  

Wendy meanwhile has dropped a bombshell on Brian.  She’s booked a holiday for Brian, herself and baby Vicky.  Brian is horrified to hear that she’s done such a thing without consulting him first and asks her how she’s managed to pay for it.

Brian - A pwy sy’n talu am hyn i gyd?
Wendy - Ti, wrth gwrs!  Pwy arall?
Brian - Fi?
Wendy - Wel, dw i’n skint.
Brian - Gret.  So, dw i wedi talu am wyliau dw i ddim hyd yn oed eisiau.
Wendy - But you’ll love it once you get there.  We’ll have a ball!
Brian - Mae hyn yn anhygoel!  Fedraf i jyst ddim coelio hyn.
Wendy - Friday morning - Lanzarote here we come.

Main Grammatical Points

There’s a bitter taste in a lot of people’s mouths this week - Brian’s on holiday in Lanzarote and hates everything about the place; Jac’s fear and hatred of water is still apparent as he continues his physiotherapy in the hospital pool; and Agnes reveals to Jac that she simply can’t stand Brian’s guts…

There are two different ways in Welsh to convey the feeling of hatred.  You can either use the verbal noun ‘casáu’ - to hate.

Dw i’n casáu 	I hate	

Or you can use the construction:

Mae’n gas gen i in NW
or 
Mae’n gas ‘da fi in SW - literally meaning: “it is hateful with me”

Mae’n gas gen i 
Mae’n gas ‘da fi 

Remember to conjugate the preposition ‘gan’ accordingly and follow it with a soft mutation:

Let’s look at some examples.

To say : “Brian hates sand” - tywod - sand - you can say either:

Mae Brian yn casáu tywod
or
Mae’n gas gan Brian dywod

To say: She hates beer - cwrw

You can say either:	

Mae hi’n casáu cwrw
or
Mae’n gas ganddi hi gwrw	

However, I hope you don’t have too much occasion to use these particular constructions!

Note the difference between: 

Yn byw
And the mutated form
Yn fyw

The first - yn byw - means to live

Mae Jenny yn byw ym Mrynaber
Jenny lives in Brynaber

But - yn fyw - means alive

-	Ydy hi wedi marw?  
-	Nag ydy, mae hi’n fyw!

-	Is she dead?  
-	No, she’s alive!

This is where a mutation is vital!!

Catchphrase Ysbyty Brynaber: Episode 217

Agnes and Jac are worried about Brian’s disppearance.  Jac’s particularly worried that he’s up to no good after his recent murderous threats.  

In actual fact, Brian is in Lanzarote with Wendy and baby Vicky, but he’s proving to be a real misery guts.

Now that Jac knows that Brian’s off gallavanting with Wendy Keating, it’s obvious that his marriage is over once and for all.

Synopsis

Brian ended up going to Lanzarote with Wendy and Vicky.  But it doesn’t turn out to 
be much of a holiday for Wendy.
