Weather
When we first meet a person the weather is an useful conversation starter.
To ask what the weather is like in Welsh we say: | Sut mae'r tywydd? | How's the weather? |
In Welsh, everything is feminine or masculine. No word corresponds to 'it'. The weather is feminine - a 'she'. So we say: Mae hi'n gynnes - It's warm (which could also mean 'she's warm'). | Mae'n braf. | It's fine. | | Mae hi'n wyntog. | It's windy. | | Mae hi'n bwrw glaw. | It's raining. | | Mae hi'n gynnes. | It's warm. | | Mae hi'n ddiflas. | It's miserable. | | Mae hi'n stormus. | It's stormy. | | Mae hi'n bwrw eira. | It's snowing. | | Mae hi'n oer. | It's cold. |
