Dw i'n ffrindiau yn Missouri ac Michigan pwy fy cwrdd a am y ystafell sgwrs yn MIRC ac ryn ni'n wedi dod sgwrsio am 10 flynyddoedd nawr. Mae fy wyrion dysgu Japanese yn yr ysgol

Yes. The couses are free. Why cant you listen to the dialogue? Where do you come from in the USA and what are your interests/ I have friends in Missouri and Michigan who I met in the chat room in MIRC and we have been chatting for 10 years now. My Grandsons are learning Japanese in school.

Dydy'r 'audio' ddim yn gweithio pan dw i'n clicio'r icon sain. --- The audio doesn't work when I click on the sound icon.

Dw i'n byw yn Oklahoma. Dw i'n dwlu ar Gymru a Chymraeg. --- I live in Oklahoma. I love Wales and Welsh.

Dysgu Japaneg? Ydy llawer o Japaneaid lle mae'ch wyrion yn byw? --- Learning Japanese? Are there many Japanese where your grandsons live?

Ydy wir. -- Yes, indeed.

Ydy'ch wyrion yn hoffi dysgu Japaneg? Oes cyfle 'da nhw i siarad yr iaith â ymwelwr Japaneaidd? --- Do your grandsons like learning Japanese? Do they have a chance to speak it with Japanese tourists?

Ffeindiais i wefan am y tren Bae Abertawe:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/southwest/sites...les_train.shtml

I found a webside about the train in Swansea.

[Siarls]

Ie, fi wedi bod yn gwneud fy arholiadau! Fy arholiad olaf ar dydd Mawrth nesaf.
Yeh, I've been doing my exams! Last one is next Tuesday.

Dydy tafodiaith Dyffryn Lliw ddim yn wahanol o dafodiaith y De - mae'n fersiwn tafodiaith y De!! Mae lot o bobl yn dweud bod acen yn wahanol, ond mae geiriau hefyd.
Dyma wefan ar y pwnc:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/southwest/sites...s/dialect.shtml
The Lliw Valley dialect isn't different from the Southern dialect - it's a version of the Southern dialect!! A lot of people say that the accent is different, but there are words as well.

Diolch am y wefan ma, Gwenynen. Mae bbc.co.uk o lot o iws.
Thanks for the website, Gwenynen. bbc.co.uk is very useful!

OH MY GOSH, GWENYNEN. I have just realised that you are on this website...

[gwenynen]

Mae llawer o eiriau wahanol yn tafodieithoedd wahanol! Mae digon o eiriau da fi i ddysgu'n barod!
--- There are many different words in different dialects! I already have enough words to learn!

They print almost all your comments as long as they are reasonable. It's fun to see your own comments on the news sites.

[Siarls]

I have written a lot in the South West Wales section. But people who disagree with my comments really infuriate me!!

[gwenynen]

Ble mae dy sylwadau?

[gwenynen]

Antwn, ail-fenthgais i'r llyfr am Fadog. Mae e'n "Brave His Soul" gan Ellen Pugh, os chi'n hoffi ei ddarllen e.

Antwn, I borrowed the book about Madog again. It's "Brave His Soul" by Ellen Pugh, if you'd like to read.

[Antwn]

Helo Gwenynen,

Fel Siarls, dw i'n amheugar am y dilysrwydd y chwedl ond alla i fod yn ymchwilio iddi - dylai'r llyfr yn ddiddorol, diolch. Dw i'n credu ei fod yn allan o brint ond alla ei archeb oddi ar siop lyfr neu wefan.

Like Charles, I am sceptical about the authenticity of the legend but i may look into it - the book should be interesting, thanks. I believe that it's out of print but I can order it from a book shop or website.

Antwn

[Siarls]

Dy iaith yn ffurfiol iawn, Antwn! Ble ddysgaist ti siairad Cymraeg fel honna? Mae'n hardd.
Your language is very formal, Antwn! Where did you learn to speak Welsh like that? It's beautiful.

[austaff]
