Fe hoffwn i'n tipyn bach o helpu gyda brawddegau cymraeg Rwy'n wedi astudio Cymraeg am dri mis, a fe hoffwn i'n gael helpu, os yw'n bosib! Ysgrifennais i synhwyrebau (or is "brawddegau" more appropriate here?) fer gyda geiriau yr hoffwn eu dysgu, er mwyn (in order to?) darllen yn y bws. All cymru'n cywiro'r synhwyrebau 'na, os gwelwch yn dda? A'r testun hwnnw hefyd, os ydych chi eisau. (I do not live in Wales, I live in Quebec, so Italki is for me one of the only ways to get a bit of help with Welsh apart from my workbook. Please note that the english translation of the welsh sentences is actually a translation of my french translation, so between three languages, I might get a bit confused! Sorry for that.) Gofal! Roedd hyn yn arbennig peryglus iddi hi. (Care! That was particularly dangerous for her.) Fe ges i syniad rhyfedd er mwyn dod gwell gyda ieithoedd. (I had a strange idea in order to get better with languages.) Dim mwy! Mae fy mhen yn brifo gormod.

Fe fyddwn ni cwrdd yn fuan yn y tre bwyty. (Goodbye! We will meet each other in the city's restaurant.) Mae'r nofel yw rhagorol i ferch ifanc sy'n ei hoffi'r anturiau. (It is an excellent novel for a young girl who likes adventures) Fydd dy bywyd di bod mwy diddorol o ddydd i ddydd (Your life will get more interesting day by day) I have a few more, but I don't want it to be too much work :-) Ond, rwy'n gael un cwestiwn gramadegol. Beth yw'r gwahaniaeth cyfrwng "fe fues i" a "roeddwn i". I'm not sure I understand when the pas tense of "bod" should be used. Diolch yn fawr/merci beaucoup Et belle année 2018!

Fe hoffwn i'n dipyn bach o helpu gyda brawddegau Cymraeg

Rwy'n wedi astudio Cymraeg am dri mis, a fe hoffwn i'n gael helpu, os yw'n bosib! Ysgrifennais i synhwyrebau (or is "brawddegau" more appropriate here? [brawddegau is the usual word]) fer byrion [ber is the feminine singular form, byrion is the plural, there is no gender distinction in the plural] gyda geiriau yr hoffwn eu dysgu, er mwyn darllen yn y bws. All Cymro'n gywiro'r brawddegau 'na, os gwelwch yn dda? A'r testun hwnnw hefyd, os ydych chi eisiau.

Gofal! Roedd hyn yn arbennig o beryglus iddi hi.
(Care! That was particularly dangerous for her.)

Fe ges i syniad rhyfedd er mwyn dod gwell gyda ieithoedd.
(I had a strange idea in order to get better with languages.)

Dim mwy! Mae fy mhen yn brifo gormod.
(No more! my head hurts too much)

Fe hoffai fe roi'r cwnselau [the more common word for advice is cyngor (pl. cynghorion)] i fi i chwilio yn fwy effeithlon
(He'd like to give advice to me to search more effectively)

Hwyl! Fe fyddwn ni'n cwrdd yn fuan yn y tre bwyty ym mwyty y dre.
(Goodbye! We will meet each other soon in the town's restaurant.)

Mae'r e'n nofel yw rhagorol i ferch ifanc sy'n ei hoffi'r anturiaethau.
(It is an excellent novel for a young girl who likes adventures)

Fydd dy bywyd di'n bod mynd yn fwy ddiddorol o ddydd i ddydd
(Your life will get more interesting day by day)

Ond, rwy'n gael mae gen i un cwestiwn gramadegol. Beth yw'r gwahaniaeth cyfrwng rhwng "fe fues i" a "roeddwn i". I'm not sure I understand when the pas tense of "bod" should be used. The preterite (fues i) describes a single completed action in the past, whereas the imperfect (roeddwn i) can refer to a continuous or repeated action in the past which isn't necessarily completed (I suppose it might be similar to the distinction between je fus and j'étais in French).

You need a bit of practice with the particle yn. If you need any explanations about the corrections, feel free to ask.
Diolch yn fawr/merci beaucoup
Et belle année 2018! a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda i ti hefyd!
