A new beginning?

The recent recordings were a calamity from my point of view as they were almost inaudible which was such a pity as I had two excellent volunteers who offered to do the readings. However I'm sure that I will sort things out soon -  before next term if not earlier! 
Now a word about last night's lesson.
Ydy Bil yn gweithio?   Nac ydy, ma' Bil  wedi ymddeol.   
Does Bil work?                                         No (he does not!)  - Bil has retired.

NOW INSTEAD OF REPEATING THE BIL IN THE ANSWER YOU CAN REFER   TO  HIM AS "o"

Ydy Bil yn gweithio?    Nac ydy,  mae o wedi ymddeol.      ... he has retired.

Ydy Gwen yn gweithio?     Ydy, mae hi'n gweithio fel nyrs.
                                                         .......  she       works as a nurse.

Also note how Ydy  and Nac ydy match up!

The ydy affirms that he or she is doing something.

Ydy Robin yn byw ym Mangor?  Ydy!    Yes - he does live in Bangor.

Of course nac ydy will tell you that someone is not doing something!

Ydy Shelley yn byw ym Mangor?      Nac ydy, mae hi yn byw yn Sir Fon.
Does Shelley live in Bangor?                                                            No she does not,          she lives in Anglesey
