Dialogue Script dialogue to include sickness vocabulary Welsh Vocabulary Introduce sickness vocabulary Welsh Beth sy'n bod? Teimlo Annwyd Y frech Goch Pen Tost Bigyn Clust Bola Tost Grammar Beth sy'n bod? This phrase means What's wrong? More examples: - Beth sy'n bod ar John? - Beth sy'n bod ar Mary? So you must use the preposition ar (on) with this phrase to ask about other people. Beth sy'n bod ar [someone]?

Beth sy'n bod arnat ti? Beth sy'n bod arno fe? Beth sy'n bod arni hi? Beth sy'n bod arnon ni? Beth sy'n bod arnoch chi? Beth sy'n bod arnyn nhw? Talking about illness Like when talking about possession, we must use the Oes/Mae patterns for talking about illness. Oes is for questions, and Mae is for statements. Certain illnesses use the gyda (with) pattern: Mae pen tost gyda fi. I have a headache Certain illnesses use the ar (on) pattern: Mae annwyd arno fe. He has a cold. The general rule of thumb is: if the illness mentions a body part, use gyda. If the illness does not, use ar. Review
