Illness (1)

In this section we will learn to say that you are ill tost.

Dw i'n dost.I'm ill.

As you've wandered around this house you may have learnt to talk about things that you have, for example:

Mae car gyda fi.I have a car.
Mae gwallt melyn gyda fi.I have blonde hair.

We follow the same pattern when we talk about illness:

Mae llwnc tost gyda fi.I have a sore throat.
Mae pen tost gyda fi.I have a headache.
Mae bola tost gyda fi.I have a tummy ache.
Mae cefn tost gyda fi.I have a bad back.
Mae bawd tost gyda fi.I have a sore thumb.

Some parts of the body are feminine so the adjective tost becomes dost:

Mae coes dost gyda fi.I have a sore leg.
Mae clust dost gyda fi.I have earache.
Mae braich dost gyda fi.I have a sore arm.
Mae troed dost gyda fi.I have a sore foot.
