When ‘yn’ means ‘in’, a nasal mutation takes place. So…

Dw i’n byw ym Mhencoed

Dw i’n byw ym Mrynna

Very good

On top of the world

Ill

Terrible

In Welsh, after a number, we have a singular noun. In English, we have plurals after numbers, Eg; 2 chairs 4

tables.In English we would say ‘3 brothers’, in Welsh we say ‘3

brawd’.The number 2, 3, and 4 change when discussing a feminine noun.

Therefore:

Dau 

Tri 

Pedwar

Dwy  

Tair

Pedair

Mae tair chwaer ‘da fi - I have three sisters

The number ‘dau’ causes a soft mutation.Therefore:

Mae dau frawd ‘da fi - I have two brothers

When you are talking about yourself, eg, I/me this is called the 1st person. To talk about someone else, eg, he/she/Jac, this is called

the third person.

Mae …… ‘da fi – I have……

Mae …… ‘da fe – he has ……

Mae …… ‘da hi – she has ……

Mae …… ‘da Jac – Jac has ……

In welsh, to say somebody ‘has’ something, whether it’s a brother, sister, brown hair, or a Playstation, we use the same sentence structure.
