Hello again!


So, today is my last day of holiday before I start back at university. I am going straight back in to practice, which means I have just spent 4 weeks off on holiday, and now I go straight into the hospital environment. Being out on practice equals to half of our course, so I don't get a chance at going back to uni before going back to work...VERY SCARY!!


Well, seeing as me going back into practice, is like me starting a new job, the people I am going to be working with, might want to get to know me a little bit better...so they may want to know my past - which gave me an idea for a little blog session in Welsh (Yng Nghymraeg).


I am just going to jot a few sentences down here and translate them, and maybe you could have a go at filling in the blanks with your details (if you don't know the Welsh, then English will be fine). So, first of all, we need to know the passive voice in Welsh. In Welsh, we build the pattern around the verb 'cael' - to have/receive. It is quite logical if you consider the subject of the sentence to be receiving the action of the verb (i.e. the action of the verb is done to the subject).  Therefore, we would say 

1. I was born = I received my bearing
2. I was raised = I received my raising
3. I was educated = I received my education

fy ('my') causes a Nasal Mutation. Learn these parrot fashion:
geni - fy ngeni (born)
magu - fy magu (raised)
addysgu - fy addysgu (educated)


I was born - Fe ges i fy ngeni
I was raised / brought up - Fe ges i fy magu
I was educated - Fe ges i fy addysgu


So from these, I can now say mine...


Ben ydw i, fe ges i fy ngeni yn Wrecsam. Fe ges i fy magu yn Aberhonddu, a fe ges i fy addysgu yn Ysgol Uwchradd Aberhonddu. 


I am Ben, I was born in Wrexham. I was raised in Brecon and I was educated at Brecon High School.


So, can you now have a little go at this? If you would like to leave a comment with what you have answered, then that would be fantastic...if not, then just jot it down at home and learn it.


I hope you have enjoyed :)


Hwyl!
