Week 46 - Main grammatical points Jenny wishes Agnes A Happy New Year Blwyddyn Newydd Dda Agnes replies A'r un fath i tithau
Tithau pronounced titha in north Wales and tithe in south Wales is the second person singular of the pronoun form which is used to convey the meaning and you as well or you also.
The full forms are:
minnau or finnau tithau yntau hithau ninnau chithau hwythau
Generally these forms are preceeded by a meaning and for example a finnau - and me, a chithau - and you, a hwythau and them.
Gwario/treulio
Agnes asks: Sut wnest ti dreulio'r diwrnod yn y diwedd.How did you spend the day in the end.
You have probably come across the other form in Welsh for to spend to spend money. Gwario Dw i wedi gwario llawer o arian yn ystod y Nadolig. I've spent a lot of money over Christmas.
Note however that when someone is referring to spending time the verb form in Welsh is treulio Treuliais i wythnos yn sgïo yn yr Alpau I spent a fortnight skiing in the Alps Look out for these differences. Dw i wedi treulio oriau yn chwilio am y llyfr yna I've spent hours looking for that book
Wrthi
You have already come across wrth meaning by - wrthi hi by her. Or with the verb dweud - dweud wrthi to tell her. Wrthi on its own however has completely different meaning.
Agnes says: Wrthi'n rhoi'r holl gardiau Nadolig 'ma heibio ydw i.I'm hard at it putting the Christmas cards to keep. Wrthi in this context means busy or hard at it
Wyt ti'n dal wrthi?
Are you still busy?
Maen nhw wrthi'n chwilio am y ferch fach. They're hard at it looking for the little girl.
