Beginner's Welsh, Welsh with English Translations

[gwenynen]

Helo Antwn, Helo pawb.

Clywais i oddi wrth T Llew Jones heddiw!! Dw i'n gyffro i gyd! Roedd e'n meddwl bod hi'n braf iawn i gael llythr Cymraeg oddi wrth Japanead sy'n byw yn UDA. Dywedodd e fod e'n arfer ysgrifennu llyfrau ar deipiadur o "Siapan." Mae'i Gymraeg yn lenyddol iawn. Roedd rhaid i mi weithio caled i ddeall! Dw i'n hapus beth bynnag!

--- I heard from T Llew Jones today! I'm so excited! He thought it was wonderful to receive a letter in Welsh from a Japanese in USA. He said he used to write his books using a typewriter from Japan. His Welsh is very literary. I had to work hard to understand. I'm happy anyway.

cofion gorau

[austaff]

Dw i'n wedi traswslwytho "skype" mae fy enw "austaff' dw i'n gallu ffonio mae fy mab yn Tsieina am rhudd, Gwenynen Beth wyt ti eich enw ar y skype efallai dyn ni'n gallu sgwrs rhywbryd yn Gymraeg???? os dyn ni'n i gyd cael Skype dyn ni'n gallu sairad i pob un eraill

I have downloaded skype my name austaff I can phone my son in China for free Gwenynen what is your name on skype perhaps we can chat sometime in welsh if we all get it we can speak to each other.

[gwenynen]

Shw mae, Austaff. Mae'n boeth yma (dros 100F!) Dw i'n ceisio aros yn y t?.
--- Hi Austaff. It's hot here (over 100F!) I try to stay in the house.

Dw i erioed wedi defnyddio Skype er mod i'n gwneud trefniant. Ro'n i'n meddwl fod e'n syniad da i ymarfer siarad Cymraeg ond dw i ddim yn sicr nawr. Mae e'n fel siarad ar ffon. Fel ti'n gwybod, mae'n anodd i siarad iaith estron ar ffon. Wn i ddim a bydda i'n gallu dweud mwy na "shw mae" ac "diolch."
--- I've never used Skype although I made arrangement. I thought it'd be a good idea to practice speaking Welsh but now I'm not sure. It's like speaking on the phone. As you know it's hard to speak a foreign language on the phone. I don't know if I'll be able to say more than "hi" and "thanks."

[austaff]

Gwenynen, Dw i'n siŵr fy mod un gallet ti dweud mwy nag diolch neu shwd mae. Eich ysgrifen 'sy dda iawn. Fi'n meddwl dw i wedi lawer o waith o flaen i fy cyn alla i siarad Cymraeg, ond dw i'n ddysgu yn araf.ac yn ysgrifen neges yma yn helpu. Gobeithio fy mod un Antwn dod ar ôl i'r bwrdd 'ma

I am sure you can say more than thanks or hi. Your writing is very good. I think I have a lot of work in front of me before I can speak welsh., but I am learning slowly and writing messages here helps. I hope Antwn comes back to this board

[gwenynen]

Dw i newydd glywed bod Brenhines Elizabeth yn dysgu Gaeleg yr Alban. Gobeithio y bydd hi'n dysgu Cymraeg hefyd fel Tywysog Charles.

--- I just heard Queen Elizabeth is learning Scottish Gaelic. I hope she'll learn Welsh too like Prince Charles.

[Antwn]

Shwmae pawb,

Maddeuwch i mi am nid ysgrifen i?r bwrdd. Dw i wedi colli fy nhgifrifiadur a fy swyddi hefyd. Problem fawr. Dw i wedi anfon y post ?ma oddi mewn y llyfrgell. Fydda?n dod yn ôl pryd mae?r sefyllfa yn wella i mi.

Forgive me for not writing to the board. I have lost my computer and my job too. Big problem. I have sent this post from the library. I will return when the situation is better for me.

Antwn

[gwenynen]

Antwn, gobeithio y bydd popeth yn gweitho ac byddi di'n ôl.
--- Antwn, I hope everything will work out and you'll be back.
