PrawfCyntaf- First Test 7 Chwef/Feb • This test will mainly concentrate on two things: • The formation of the present tense in Welsh. • Conversational phrases and examples found in the yellow boxes in each unit (2-6). • Questions based on the Big Welsh Challenge (BBC Wales). See below. • Questions on the first and second culture classes (the first was a PowerPoint see this website), the second was part of ‘The Story of Wales’.
Prawfcyntaf- what to learn. • Formation of the present tense. • Numbers zero to ten (p 27) • Days of the week (p 27) • Soft mutation (p 23);Nasal mutation (p 23) • Words that cause soft mutation (so far: o=from, i=to, yn before adjectives and nouns). • Verb ‘to be’ (I am you are she is etc) • Questions and answers. • Simple greetings (p6) • Content of Uned 2-6 • Short questions based on the two culture classes (one on film).
Prawf Un • Big Welsh Challenge. ‘A Black Belt’, ‘A Blast From the Past’, ‘A Step Back in Time’. There will be three questions on what they say ynGymraeg. • The link is: • www.bbc.co.uk/wales/learnwelsh/bigwelshchallenge/
Present tense! • How do I say: I’m going, or I go (there). These are present tense. It happens now. • In Welsh you need three things: • The correct part of the verb ‘to be’ (I am, you are, she is, John is etc). This comes first. • The main verb in the sentence. In this case it is GO. Find it in the dictionary. If you look you’ll find MYND. • The glue: this goes between 1 and 2. It is YN if the there is no vowel before it; if there is it is ‘N. • Now let’s try a few:
Dwi’nsiaradCymraeg!! • I speak Welsh. In sentences like this you have to say ‘I am speaking Welsh’. • I AM is DW I • TO SPEAK is SIARAD • Glue: ‘N. DW I’N SIARAD =I speak, I am speaking. • Remember that the term ‘glue’ is used humourously here and is not a grammatical term. • It refers to the fact that the two parts of the sentence have to be held together by the YN (or ‘N).
Dwi’n MYND • I am going, I go. • I am= DW I • Go= MYND • Some glue= ‘N • Finished product: DW I’N MYND
Other parts of the verb ‘to be’ • DW I= I AM • RWYT TI= YOU ARE • MAE O= HE IS • MAE HI= SHE IS • DAN NI=WE ARE • DACH CHI= YOU ARE • MAEN NHW= THEY ARE
EXAMPLES • DYSGU=TO LEARN • BYW=TO LIVE • GWELD=TO SEE • MYND ALLAN=TO GO OUT. • HOFFI=TO LIVE • LEICIO=TO LIKE • GWEITHIO=TO WORK • We are learning • They live here (yma) • I see • She’s going out. • They work here • He likes living in Ottawa • I ‘m working now (rwan)
