Family (2)

Mae chwaer gyda fi. Enw fy chwaer ydy Anna.	I have a sister. My sister's name is Anna.
Mae nai gyda fi. Enw fy nai ydy Iolo.	I have a nephew. My nephew's name is Iolo.

Above, you will see the pronoun fy (my) used. We need to remember that the pronoun 'fy' causes a treiglad trwynol (nasal mutation). The letters T C P B G D change directly after it. For example:

tad	fy nhad
perthynas	fy mherthynas
gwraig	fy ngwraig
cefnder	fy nghefnder
brawd	fy mrawd

look at these examples:

Mae fy ngwraig yn athrawes.	My wife is a teacher.
Enw fy nghyfnither ydy Susan.	My cousin's name is Susan.
Enw fy mrawd-yng-nghyfraith ydy Owen.	My brother-in-law's name is Owen.
Mae fy ngŵr yn beiriannydd.	My husband is an engineer.
Mae fy nhad-cu yn bostmon.	My grandfather is a postman.
