Why is it "Gwnaiff Celyn a Sioned rhywbeth" not "Gwnân Celyn a Sioned rhywbeth"?

It seems odd that we're using the singular form for two named people #dysgwr #Cymraeg

Great #taekwondo session tonight. Went full tilt through patterns; it was a good workout! And reassuring to discover that I didn't forget all the new stuff over the Christmas break. 🥋👊

Roedd y dosbarth taekwondo yn grêt heno. Lefel ymarfer corff da. Stopion ni am y 'Dolig am dair wythnos, ond dw i wedi cofio y maes llafur (ar y cyfan)!

Yn ôl i'r swyddfa heddiw. Dw i'n gallu gweithio gartref ond roeddwn i eisiau bod yn gymdeithasol. Ond... mae'n dawel yma hefyd! (Mae annwyd arnyn llawer o phobl.)

Back to the office today. I could work from home but I wanted to catch up with people. Turns out, it's quiet here too! (A few are off with colds.)

-

Ah well. Change of scenery at least. (How would you express the same sentiment in #Welsh?)

I know a little bit of #Welsh, and I'd like to know a little bit more, so every now and again I might post here yn #Cymraeg.

If you speak it, please engage with those posts, because it means I get to practise. If not, don't panic, I'll probably attach some images as well! That way there's something for you too. (This should also be useful for learners, who might infer the context from pictures.)

Dysgwyr! Beth ydy camgymeriad ti'n wastad wneud?

I fi: os dw i eisiau dweud "she doesn't" or "isn't" neu rhywbeth, dw i'n wastad dechrau "Mae hi..." cyn cywiro fy hun i dweud "Dydy hi ddim..."

#dysgwyr #dysgwr

Learners! What mistake do you keep making?

For me: if I want to say "she doesn't" or "isn't" or something, I always start "She does..." before correcting myself to say "She doesn't..."

This morning’s musing on #Cymraeg by this confused #dysgwr - what is up with the number three? Duo is little help with explanations as to why three is tri, tair and dair. The same case could be made for pedwar and all its forms.

This tŵt brought to you by four desks, six farmers and the number thirty-three 🙈
