I remember when I was young so many decades ago in the 1980s it seemed so confusing knowing when to call someone ti or chi but now as an old person it's really easy!
I'm going to be making motorbike noises all weekend at this rate! I love this Adam, it's absolutely fantastic for those of us who have never quite got to grips with the language of the country we live in!
Bore da Liz, fire away I'm sure MR J will join in eventually :D. Thank you Liz that's what I hope to do is make Welsh a fun an accessible option for gardeners across Wales :)
Thank you Adam and greetings from Finland! I´ve studied Welsh for 21 days now😄 Mainly Duolingo-based but it´s very good to hear something different, for example gardening things. I visited Wales (Snowdonia) first time 1998 and since then there has been a special Draig-place in my heart. Probably because my lovely wife is 5% Welsh. Planning to come back to Eryri next July. Take care Adam a hwyl fawr!
I have done a number of Welsh Learning Course, but feel I learned more Welsh with your video than I did with all the other courses - You have a wonderful teaching technique.
Bore da George :D Diolch yn fawr that's great to hear! I must admit I am no 'Welsh teacher' as such but am glad that the teaching technique is useful :)
Thank you Tony :D it's a privilege to have you here! Great tips in your latest video about rat control around the compost :) Rat in Welsh is Llygoden Fawr (literally Big Mouse) or in my part of Wales we say Llygoden Ffyrnig (Vicious Mouse) :P
Helo Adam. Thank you for teaching Welsh. I'm moving to South Wales soon and am trying to learn the language. Dw i'n hoffi garddio. Your lessons are great! Take care. Hwyl fawr.
Thank you. I’ve watched several ‘learning Welsh’ videos, but I think yours come across as the clearest, the easiest to follow, and you give me time to copy what you’re teaching me (when my wife has gone out!). I’m right at the beginning, so thanking you in English (forgive me!) - but Diolch!! Les (in Caer)
Always wanted to learn Welsh since I moved to Wales almost 13 yrs ago. All the beginners courses require some knowledge of the language. I only know diolch and creoso 😬😁 So glad I found this….by the by I am also trying to grow vegetables and fruits on my very windy very small south facing patio.
Thank you! Thank you so much. I learn so much about gardening from your channel and now Welch! My husband’s people are Welch and I am excited to learn.
I have to learn Latin for my course and I was so upset knowing it would hinder my Welsh. To hear many welsh gardening words derive from Latin made me celebrate so hard! Diolch! Diolch! Diolch yn fawr! Dw’in teimlo’n happus iawn! (My spelling still weak haha)
Wonderful..I have just stumbled on your first lesson..brilliant As an ex French/Spanish teacher I applaud you for clarity and great manner. I hope there are plenty more around for me..😊
Excellent ❤ liked, subbed and ready to learn more. I didtry and learn Cymraig about 20 years ago but life and work got in the way. I taught myself to sing Mythanwu which I do ofwtn out on the hills alone where I hike in North West England. I also learn and speak Gaelic. I have a special place in my heart for the Welsh and other Brythonic languages. Gle mhah.
Bless you, I've wanted to learn Welsh ever since I was a teenager and read about the strong association Welsh has with being a poetic language. I'm an avid gardener and plant nerd--so this is going to be fun--keep it up please! I won't be satisfied until lesson 900 when I can finally compose a lovely epic poem to the beauty of the garden in full bloom! PS--subscribed!
Well may I join you in the avid gardener and plant nerd club? Ditto! Of course It's really heartening to see how much interest there is to learn my native language :) Of course, but I fear by the time we reach lesson 900, you will be far more fluent than I :P Pob lwc!
@@adamynyrardd I don't know...I've watched that video of a weathercaster saying a 58 letter Welsh town and I feel like maybe I might need 1000 lessons....but so glad to connect with another gardener/plant nerd. Last night I was out until 2 a.m. planting trees in the cool dark so their roots don't dry out.....no one but another plant nerd would understand.
Hello, Tanya dw i …I love your garden and your passion for language and your garden. At my house it is definitely ‘come see the garden. Many people are dragged about but enjoy it too. I always hope to entice and encourage others to give it a go.
Smwae Ailéin dw I. I have to admit to not being a big gardening fan. But I'm learning Welsh. And I really enjoyed your gardening/Welsh lesson. Dw i'n hoffi mefus 🍓🍓👍😀 Diolch yn fawr. Hwyl
Recently learned mmy Brietmeyer name is attached to Welsh big time. I lived in Sweden for a while and this made me miss ( what feels like home) Scandinavian people. You are awesome the way you teach. What better way than in the garden. Alskar! This 😂
Diolch yn fawr iawn am y video/gwers ardderchog. As an allotmenteer and someone starting to recover the Welsh I learnt as an adult in Aberystwythm, this is just what I need. Weithiau, bydd yn dda dysgu planigion hen enwau . . .
Croeso mawr Chrisopher a diolch am eich sylw. Pob hwyl yn ailgychwyn defnyddio eich Cymraeg. Yn bendant, fe wnaf yn sicr edrych ar wneud hynny yn y dyfodol :)
Bore da Jenny and diolch yn fawr iawn for your lovely comment :D Good luck with dysgu Cymraeg I'm sure you will do great and one day we will write only in Welsh :D
Oh this is brilliant. I've been learning Welsh on duolingo for a year and a half and having an enormous amount of fun. Your lesson is giving me the ability to make sentences and not just learning words and phrases. I have subscribed so hopefully next week I will learn more. I'm very excited
Hi Adam, you were recommended to me today, and I’m glad I checked out your videos I tried to dyscu Cymraeg in courses but found it quite difficult to pronounce the words properly, I love the Welsh language just wish I had the confidence to keep learning it but I’m going to keep watching your videos for some handy tips about gardening and learning the Welsh language at the same time. 🏴
Adam, this is great. i know basic welsh and am from the south, like you so i appreciate you putting in the difference between north and south walian welsh. you were really clear and explained things well, so impressed, especially for the first video. im showing my eldest these as she, like me, is now learning welsh in school more as she heads into comprehensive. shes excited to learn as she loves gardening with me! plus, despite being welsh and living here all my life and learning welsh throughout school, ive learned from this video. looking forward to next ones. Laura.
Diolch o galon Laura how very kind of you :) I'm really glad that you found the video useful :) Of course I'm sure we will be able to have a fluent Welsh gardening conversation in no time :D Daliwch ati!
Diolch yn fawr iawn! I love the idea of Monty Don coming to tour the garden! I would have to tidy before putting the red carpets down 😂 Great, fun first lesson, look forward to watching the next one now!
Adam - this is fantastic - I was born in N Wales but now live in South Wales (Y Fenni) - am just eventually getting round to learning the language by starting a Welsh course - I also love gardening so it's perfect - so glad I found this! Diolch
Arbennig Caroline pob lwc :D I'm glad this may be able to help you a little bit as well. The National Centre for learning Welsh has some great online resources that could help you :)
This is absolutely brilliant, thank you. I'm a Welsh woman who learnt it very poorly in school, and then after picking up more at University have lived in England for many years. I was following you gardening Instagram because I miss hearing Welsh (and love gardening) this is even better. (I love being able to see whether I can understand what you're saying before looking at the subtitles.)
That was great Adam, so much better than Duolingo which I am also using to learn Welsh. Your explanations of the trickier "ch" sound was really helpful and I shall be practicing my motorbike noises for "dd" for the rest of the evening :-) Fascinating to learn that so many plant names in Welsh come from the Latin. Look forward to the next video. I've made lots of notes! Why in Welsh is a word sometimes starting with "c" and other times with "g"? compost and gompost for example.
Thank you Stephanie that's the ultimate compliment! haha I hope you kept your motorbike within national speed limits whilst practicing! Yes, definitely there are so many similarities. Thank you :) That's a really interesting and good point about the C changing to a g it's down to a grammatical rule that's called 'mutation' whereby we change consonants of words depending on the prepositions before them so the words am, ar, at, gan, tros, trwy, wrth, dan, heb, hyd, o, i, all trigger a soft mutation whereby c becomes g, t becomes d and p becomes b. But don't worry about that yet :) we will explain it all moving forward, think of the words for now :)
Adam, you have a talent for linguistics. I'm struggling to roll my rrrrrrrr's due to the fact that the muscles in my tongue have not been used to make that particular manoeuvre but I'm persevering! Iv'e only just stumbled onto your channel and I think you're doing a great job! I fancy you may be a school teacher, you are so adept.
Maybe you've already learnt that, but if someone is still out there learning, try these tips: - say words with r, but replace the r's with d (because that's about where your tongue should be) - say many d's very fast, dddddddd - in fact when saying r your tongue isn't pushing as hard against the palate(?) as in d, but lighter, because you have to be able to push some air between them, the sound happens in the very front of your mouth, so you don't blow air like in Welsh ll or ch or such, but only very little to get the tongue's tip moving a bit - then you can try to imitate an old car or something starting with d, drn drn drn or add a very short vowel for example dren dren or d'rn - try words that start with dr, like drown I think they use at least some of these in speaking therapy here in Finland if a child can't say rolling r, but personally I find r more difficult to say with d, but again it's probably because of the location of the tongue why they use it. So when the tongue is in the right place try many other words, too. You might find them easier to say. It may be easier at first if you open your mouth widely in horizontal way, but not vertical (sorry, not sure how to describe that in English), little bit as if you were grinning like this 😬 Hope that helps. Hwyl fawr!
"Your family and friends will think you’ve gone stark crazy mad, but that doesn’t matter because you’re learning Welsh." Ha! You are not wrong sir. Here I am in Alaska mumbling poorly pronounced Welsh words to myself while sowing Jalapeno seeds during a snowstorm, and yes, my family does indeed think I've gone mad.
Haha that's absolutely made my day :D Hardcore gardening there! If you can say Jalapeno the proper Spanish way you will be half way there with the Welsh Cat sounds :P
Diolch Adam! This was wonderful! Looking forward to your future videos, with all the best from Cambridge (although our hearts are in Wales!), Amy and Oli
Thank you very much that's so very kind of you :D I must admit I don't know where they came from, I just spoke and out came the 'motorbike noises' and 'cat spitting' I hope it helps however :D
What fun this was! Your teaching technique is superb, a big thumbs-up. Now if only I could remember the words tomorrow.....but hey, that's what replay is made for.😃 Thank you and please do more. God bless.
Gret job Adam my frindiau! Dydd y Dewi Sant hapus. Sorry if incorrect spelling etc. Love the literal translation of cauliflower! Keep up the good work. Will you be continuing general gardening videos as you were?
Diolch yn fawr Dave :) Yes of course, I will be creating general gardening videos as well, the learning Welsh videos is just one element :) Time is my biggest enemy at the moment but I will try my best :D
Diolch yn fowr iti Barry :) haha! Mae'r Saesneg yn cael dod mas bob hyn a hyn (os yn gyndyn) Diolch yn fowr iawn i ti, a gobeithio dy fod yn ymdopi'n ok rhwng popeth (y)
Such fun, Adam! I think my Latin will certainly come in handy, as well as always having really enjoyed etymology LOL. I absolutely love this! ...now you will have me researching sound values of the letters because I'm such a visual person ;)
Bore da :) thank you very much, definitely I have a copy of the RHS Latin for Gardeners book and what a fun and easy to follow book it is as well - you just can't beat etymology! My Latin pronounciation leaves much to be desired but I love how Latin names are so descriptive just like Welsh. Pob lwc :)
Diolch Adam! Ffantastig! Mae eich acen mor wych! Ces i fy ngeni yng Nghaint felly bydd acen Caint gyda fi bob amser, er fy mod i'n byw yng Nghymru am ddeugain mlynedd!
Just discovered your channel. I really enjoyed the different topic and all the explanations 😊 quick question, is the literal translation for poly tunnel 'grow tunnel'? Diolch 😊
Interesting!! I found some or a lot of similarity with romanian language... :) *Shwmae? = Ce mai e? / Cum mai e* "Ce mai e?" or "Cum mai e?" is used in Romanian as *How are you?*, *How are you doing?* or "What's new?" *Ti - Tu* *Dw = Eu* *i = și* *Weld = Vezi* *Tyfu = Tufa* But "Tufă" means bush in Romanian. *Ffa = Fasole* *Garddio = Grădinărit, Grădină*
Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi :) Ich rede auch Deutsch :D Rwy'n gobeithio'n wir na fyddwch chi'n anghofio'ch Cyrmaeg, mae gymaint yn defnyddio'r Gymraeg ar y we erbyn hyn, gobeithio fydd hynny o help i chi :)
Braf i weld yr sgwrs dod nol i'r cyntaf pan dwi'n google chi. It's interesting to see that Welsh and Latin come from the same branch of Indo Europeann languages and Cymraeg does not so much borrow from Latin as shares common etymlology - or have I screwed up and spoken of insect study ?
Diolch am y fideo Adam. Dw i'n tyfu planhigion egsotig yn yr ardd.. fel Cordyline, Trachycarpus hefyd Brugmansia a Yuzu lemwn.. ac dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg ar y ffordd hefyd!
Diolch o galon Adam! Dwi'n joio yn fawr iawn, dwi'n caru garddio gymaint, a dwi'n caru dysgu ac ymarfer Cymraeg gymaint hefyd, achos dwi'n byw yng ngheredigion ers ro'n i 11 a dwi'n moin teimlo'n mwy gartrefol yng fy nghartref. Dwi'n dysgu gyda SSIW (wych!) a rydych chi'n wir yn fy ysbridoli 😁
Diolch o galon Rose am eich neges hyfryd. Rwy'n falch eich bod yn joio'n fawr iawn :) Mae SSIW yn gwrs arbennig, wir! Daliwch ati, mae'ch Cymraeg yn wych!
Helo Adam! Dwi di bod yn dysgu Cymraeg am tair flynedd, ac o'n i'n byw yng Nghaernarfon am blwyddyn hefyd felly nes i ddysgu lot am treigladau jyst gan siarad efo pobl. Ond ti'n dysgy mwy o gramadeg Cymraeg i mi mewn 15 munud na dwi di dysgu ers oesodd!! Doeddwn i ddim yn gwbod "di-" fel prefix cyn rwan, a rwan dwi'n gwbod mae'd mynd efo treiglad meddal :) diolch yn fawr iawn o Maryland, USA!
Helo Shaun, diolch yn fawr iawn iti am gysylltu ac am dy neges :D mae dy Gymraeg yn ardderchog! Waw mae hynny'n dibyn o glod, diolch o galon i ti am fod mor garedig! Pob hwyl yn parhau i ddysgu a defnyddio dy Gymraeg yn yr Unol Dalaethau.
Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg. Dw i'n newydd wylio - bendigedig, diolch yn fawr! Lou dw i. Dw i'n hoffi garddio. Dewch i weld yr ardd. Dw i'n tyfy blodau yn potiau o gompost di-fawn.(Sorry if any of that is incorrect)
Gwych, dw I wedi bod yn dysgu pobl ar lein ers tro. Hefyd, dw I wedi bod yn chwilio am lais aral iddyn nhw glywed wrth iddynt ehangu eu profiad. Gyda'ch caniatad, byddaf fi'n eu cyfeirio at eich sianel. Diolch yn fawr i chi.
Diolch yn fawr fawr iawn Adam. I've had a go at practising and introducing my garden inspired by your lesson, embracing my errors. Here you go. I'm in Bedfordshire so somewhat short of chances to practice Welsh, ond dwi'n hoffi garddio a yn moyn ymarfer Cymraeg. th-cam.com/video/UD4hpRmlm7A/w-d-xo.html
Croeso mawr Rhiannon :) waw am fideo arbennig, mae wir wedi codi fy nghalon gweld dy ardd, yn enwedig clywed am y 'rhiwbob' yn cysgu a'r chillean mint! Neu Mintys Tisle' Dal ati, mae nhw'n hyfryd! Byddwn wrth fy modd yn rhannu dy fideos ar fy mlog ar wefan adamynyrardd.cymru yn y dyfodol (Future) os wyt ti'n hapus?
Diolch Adam from Sydney, Australia. I have Welsh ancestors (my surname is Evans) from Swansea and Ruabon but no Welsh, so this is delightful for me. Your pronunciation tips are fabulous!
Croeso mawr :) Australia, I bet the weather is beautiful at the moment. It's great to hear about your Welsh ancestors, I am only a short drive away from Swansea as well :) small world! Rhiwabon is a lovely village near Wrecsam as well!

Diolch Adam. Yep, they get taken around the garden whether they are interested or not!

Excellent lesson! Well explained, I'll have to rewatch a few times and use these phrases myself! Diolch Adam.

Thank you very much Theresa :) that's absolutely fantastic to hear. I'm glad that I have brought some Cymraeg into your day :D Pob hwyl :)
That was great Adam, so much better than Duolingo which I am also using to learn Welsh. Your explanations of the trickier "ch" sound was really helpful and I shall be practicing my motorbike noises for "dd" for the rest of the evening :-)
Fascinating to learn that so many plant names in Welsh come from the Latin.
Look forward to the next video. I've made lots of notes!
Why in Welsh is a word sometimes starting with "c" and other times with "g"? compost and gompost for example.
Thank you Stephanie that's the ultimate compliment! haha I hope you kept your motorbike within national speed limits whilst practicing!
Yes, definitely there are so many similarities. Thank you :)
That's a really interesting and good point about the C changing to a g it's down to a grammatical rule that's called 'mutation' whereby we change consonants of words depending on the prepositions before them so the words am, ar, at, gan, tros, trwy, wrth, dan, heb, hyd, o, i, all trigger a soft mutation whereby c becomes g, t becomes d and p becomes b. But don't worry about that yet :) we will explain it all moving forward, think of the words for now :)
Great video! I enjoyed watching, well done!
Thank you very much :D
That was super helpful indeed. Diolch yn fawr.
Croeso mawr 😀
Adam, you have a talent for linguistics. I'm struggling to roll my rrrrrrrr's due to the fact that the muscles in my tongue have not been used to make that particular manoeuvre but I'm persevering! Iv'e only just stumbled onto your channel and I think you're doing a great job! I fancy you may be a school teacher, you are so adept.
Maybe you've already learnt that, but if someone is still out there learning, try these tips:
- say words with r, but replace the r's with d (because that's about where your tongue should be)
- say many d's very fast, dddddddd
- in fact when saying r your tongue isn't pushing as hard against the palate(?) as in d, but lighter, because you have to be able to push some air between them, the sound happens in the very front of your mouth, so you don't blow air like in Welsh ll or ch or such, but only very little to get the tongue's tip moving a bit
- then you can try to imitate an old car or something starting with d, drn drn drn or add a very short vowel for example dren dren or d'rn
- try words that start with dr, like drown
I think they use at least some of these in speaking therapy here in Finland if a child can't say rolling r, but personally I find r more difficult to say with d, but again it's probably because of the location of the tongue why they use it. So when the tongue is in the right place try many other words, too. You might find them easier to say.
It may be easier at first if you open your mouth widely in horizontal way, but not vertical (sorry, not sure how to describe that in English), little bit as if you were grinning like this 😬
Hope that helps. Hwyl fawr!
"Your family and friends will think you’ve gone stark crazy mad, but that doesn’t matter because you’re learning Welsh."
Ha! You are not wrong sir. Here I am in Alaska mumbling poorly pronounced Welsh words to myself while sowing Jalapeno seeds during a snowstorm, and yes, my family does indeed think I've gone mad.
Haha that's absolutely made my day :D Hardcore gardening there! If you can say Jalapeno the proper Spanish way you will be half way there with the Welsh Cat sounds :P
Haha thanks! I love it. Keep up the great videos. 🙂
Diolch Adam! This was wonderful! Looking forward to your future videos, with all the best from Cambridge (although our hearts are in Wales!), Amy and Oli
Thanks so much for your lovely comment :D I hope Cambridge is a touch warmer than Wales is today! Cofion cynnes, Adam
I love this, thank-you Adam, this is a fabulous idea ❤
Most understandable explanations and pronunciation I have heard x
Thank you very much that's so very kind of you :D I must admit I don't know where they came from, I just spoke and out came the 'motorbike noises' and 'cat spitting' I hope it helps however :D
Adam, this is brilliant. You present it in such a fun way.
Thank you for your kind comment :D Diolch yn fawr
Diolch yn fawr Adam, de i’n dysgu Cymraeg a garddio. Diolch am defnyddio Cymraeg o’r Gogledd hefyd.
Croeso mawr Andy :) Rwy'n falch o allu helpu ychydig bach :D
Really good Adam ! Diolch o galon am helpu fi ddysgu Cymraeg yn well 👍🏻
I find this all very interesting!
Glad you enjoyed it :)

Tack sa mycket! Diolch o galon Astrid!
What fun this was! Your teaching technique is superb, a big thumbs-up. Now if only I could remember the words tomorrow.....but hey, that's what replay is made for.😃 Thank you and please do more. God bless.
Diolch yn fawr Michele :D that's really kind of you :D Good luck with remembering the words. Of course I will definitely create more videos :)
Cymraeg and Gardening in one video. What could be better? Dw i'n hoffy cymreag a garddenio.
Thanks a lot! Diolch!
Thank you for your lesson. I am trying to learn to speak Welsh. Hwyl fawr. 20.29
Wonderful! You can do it, dal ati 😊
Gret job Adam my frindiau! Dydd y Dewi Sant hapus. Sorry if incorrect spelling etc. Love the literal translation of cauliflower! Keep up the good work. Will you be continuing general gardening videos as you were?
Diolch yn fawr Dave :) Yes of course, I will be creating general gardening videos as well, the learning Welsh videos is just one element :) Time is my biggest enemy at the moment but I will try my best :D
This is great! Please keep them coming! Diolch yn fawr!
Croeso Jen :)
W i'n meddwl taw dyma'r tro cynta i fi dy glywed di'n siarad Saesneg! Da iawn, Adam. W i wedi rhannu hwn gyda fy nysgwyr.
Diolch yn fowr iti Barry :) haha! Mae'r Saesneg yn cael dod mas bob hyn a hyn (os yn gyndyn) Diolch yn fowr iawn i ti, a gobeithio dy fod yn ymdopi'n ok rhwng popeth (y)
Such fun, Adam! I think my Latin will certainly come in handy, as well as always having really enjoyed etymology LOL. I absolutely love this!
...now you will have me researching sound values of the letters because I'm such a visual person ;)
Bore da :) thank you very much, definitely I have a copy of the RHS Latin for Gardeners book and what a fun and easy to follow book it is as well - you just can't beat etymology! My Latin pronounciation leaves much to be desired but I love how Latin names are so descriptive just like Welsh.
Pob lwc :)
Rwyt ti'n werth y byd Adam. Dw i'n dwlu ar arddio a dysgu Cymraeg.
Gracias, diolch o galon Eduardo am sylw caredig iawn :) Pob hwyl yn dysgu!
Diolch Adam! Ffantastig! Mae eich acen mor wych! Ces i fy ngeni yng Nghaint felly bydd acen Caint gyda fi
bob amser, er fy mod i'n byw yng Nghymru am ddeugain mlynedd!
Diolch o galon Debbie, am garedig! Does dim ots, mae Caint yn rhan o'r hen 'Gymru' felly acen Gymreig yw hi yn y pendraw ;).
@@adamynyrardd Wrth cwrs!👍😁
I think they prefer Dos up here in the North over Dere. One even comes across Doswch and certainly Dowch instead of your Southern form Dewch.
Da iawn Adam! Rwy'n adnabod eich brawd 👊
Brilliant diolch iti 😀 pwy un gwed 😂?
@@adamynyrardd matthew 😉 hen ffrind o’r ysgol!
Just discovered your channel. I really enjoyed the different topic and all the explanations 😊 quick question, is the literal translation for poly tunnel 'grow tunnel'? Diolch 😊
Diolch yn fawr :) It is absolutely that, Tyfu = Grow, Twnel = Tunnel, so it's 'Y Twnel Tyfu' The Grow tunnel :)
Diolch yn fawr!
Croeso mawr Kimberly :)
Diolch Adam dwi mwynhau cyntaf video 😁
Diolch yn fawr Margaret :D
Diolch! Hwyl means "fun"? Thanks for explaining that. So does pob hwyl mean "every fun"?
Interesting!! I found some or a lot of similarity with romanian language... :)
*Shwmae? = Ce mai e? / Cum mai e* "Ce mai e?" or "Cum mai e?" is used in Romanian as *How are you?*, *How are you doing?* or "What's new?"
*Ti - Tu*
*Dw = Eu*
*i = și*
*Weld = Vezi*
*Tyfu = Tufa* But "Tufă" means bush in Romanian.
*Ffa = Fasole*
*Garddio = Grădinărit, Grădină*
Well that's very interesting! I think a lot of the similarities derive from Latin as Latin had quite an influence on Welsh vocabulary! 😊
Diolch yn fawr iawn, Adam. Mae hyn yn berffaith! Dwi'n ddysgwr newydd a dwi'n caru garddio. Edrychaf ymlaen at Dysgu mwy efo chi 🙂
Arbennig Katie :) Croeso i'r ardd :) dwi'n caru garddio hefyd, does dim byd gwell!
Diolch Adam, video gwych! Dwi'n Gymraes sy'n byw yn Yr Almaen ac yn poeni'n ofnadwy am anghofio'r Gymraeg
Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi :) Ich rede auch Deutsch :D Rwy'n gobeithio'n wir na fyddwch chi'n anghofio'ch Cyrmaeg, mae gymaint yn defnyddio'r Gymraeg ar y we erbyn hyn, gobeithio fydd hynny o help i chi :)
Shwmae Adam, Simon dw i ac wi'n garddio ym Morganwg, gwlad Duw.
Helo, Shwmae Simon :) ydych chi'n hoffi garddio? Ydych chi'n tyfu planhigion? Arbennig, mae Morgannwg yn rhan hyfryd o Gymru :)
Diolch yn fawr iawn, dw’in trio dysgu Cymraeg gyda SSiW 😃
Croeso Denise, arbennig! Mae SSIW yn gwrs ardderchog, pob hwyl yn dysgu Cymraeg!
Braf i weld yr sgwrs dod nol i'r cyntaf pan dwi'n google chi. It's interesting to see that Welsh and Latin come from the same branch of Indo Europeann languages and Cymraeg does not so much borrow from Latin as shares common etymlology - or have I screwed up and spoken of insect study ?
Diolch am y fideo Adam. Dw i'n tyfu planhigion egsotig yn yr ardd.. fel Cordyline, Trachycarpus hefyd Brugmansia a Yuzu lemwn.. ac dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg ar y ffordd hefyd!
Diolch o galon Adam! Dwi'n joio yn fawr iawn, dwi'n caru garddio gymaint, a dwi'n caru dysgu ac ymarfer Cymraeg gymaint hefyd, achos dwi'n byw yng ngheredigion ers ro'n i 11 a dwi'n moin teimlo'n mwy gartrefol yng fy nghartref. Dwi'n dysgu gyda SSIW (wych!) a rydych chi'n wir yn fy ysbridoli 😁
Diolch o galon Rose am eich neges hyfryd. Rwy'n falch eich bod yn joio'n fawr iawn :) Mae SSIW yn gwrs arbennig, wir! Daliwch ati, mae'ch Cymraeg yn wych!
Fideo gwych, diolch yn fawr. Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg a dw i'n hoffi garddio hefyd, felly, gret diolch :)
Helo Adam! Dwi di bod yn dysgu Cymraeg am tair flynedd, ac o'n i'n byw yng Nghaernarfon am blwyddyn hefyd felly nes i ddysgu lot am treigladau jyst gan siarad efo pobl. Ond ti'n dysgy mwy o gramadeg Cymraeg i mi mewn 15 munud na dwi di dysgu ers oesodd!! Doeddwn i ddim yn gwbod "di-" fel prefix cyn rwan, a rwan dwi'n gwbod mae'd mynd efo treiglad meddal :) diolch yn fawr iawn o Maryland, USA!
Helo Shaun, diolch yn fawr iawn iti am gysylltu ac am dy neges :D mae dy Gymraeg yn ardderchog! Waw mae hynny'n dibyn o glod, diolch o galon i ti am fod mor garedig! Pob hwyl yn parhau i ddysgu a defnyddio dy Gymraeg yn yr Unol Dalaethau.
Dw i'n tyfu planhigion brodorol Califfornia.
Hyfryd Steven. Dw i'n hoffi 'Pabi Califfornia' mae'n brydferth iawn!
Dw i 'di wastad casau garddio, ond dw i'n hoffi fideo hon. (Diolch, byddaf yn ol).
Bore da Andrew, rwy'n siŵr y bydd modd eich annog i arddio :D Diolch yn fawr iawn, croeso mawr!
Diolch. Mae'ch raglen fideo yn dda iawn. Dw i ddim yn hoffi garddio ond dwi'n hoffi dysgu siarad Cymraeg.
Dw i'n dysgu Cymraeg. Dw i'n newydd wylio - bendigedig, diolch yn fawr! Lou dw i. Dw i'n hoffi garddio. Dewch i weld yr ardd. Dw i'n tyfy blodau yn potiau o gompost di-fawn.(Sorry if any of that is incorrect)
Are the plant names really derived from Latin, considering they're both ancient European languages?
Swmae, Adam! Lillian dw i. Dw i'n hyfu sweet potatos mewn dwr a peppers a eggplant mewn pot yn yr ffenestr.
Shwmae Lillian, arbennig rydych chi'n tyfu tipyn o bethau :D pob lwc yn tyfu sweet potatoes, mae nhw'n gallu bod yn anodd (difficult)
Gwych, dw I wedi bod yn dysgu pobl ar lein ers tro. Hefyd, dw I wedi bod yn chwilio am lais aral iddyn nhw glywed wrth iddynt ehangu eu profiad. Gyda'ch caniatad, byddaf fi'n eu cyfeirio at eich sianel. Diolch yn fawr i chi.
Diolch yn fawr Dw i’n mwynhau y goers.
Gwers whoops.
Croeso mowr 😁
diolch
Diolch yn fawr fawr iawn Adam. I've had a go at practising and introducing my garden inspired by your lesson, embracing my errors. Here you go. I'm in Bedfordshire so somewhat short of chances to practice Welsh, ond dwi'n hoffi garddio a yn moyn ymarfer Cymraeg. th-cam.com/video/UD4hpRmlm7A/w-d-xo.html
Croeso mawr Rhiannon :) waw am fideo arbennig, mae wir wedi codi fy nghalon gweld dy ardd, yn enwedig clywed am y 'rhiwbob' yn cysgu a'r chillean mint! Neu Mintys Tisle' Dal ati, mae nhw'n hyfryd! Byddwn wrth fy modd yn rhannu dy fideos ar fy mlog ar wefan adamynyrardd.cymru yn y dyfodol (Future) os wyt ti'n hapus?
@@adamynyrardd Oh waw! Diolch Adam! Mintys Tsile - cwl! Wrth gwrs, gallech chi rhannu fy mideos os chi'n moyn. :)
Diolch Adam from Sydney, Australia. I have Welsh ancestors (my surname is Evans) from Swansea and Ruabon but no Welsh, so this is delightful for me. Your pronunciation tips are fabulous!
Croeso mawr :) Australia, I bet the weather is beautiful at the moment. It's great to hear about your Welsh ancestors, I am only a short drive away from Swansea as well :) small world! Rhiwabon is a lovely village near Wrecsam as well!
Diolch yn fawr!
Croeso mawr :)
