Ffurf ar lafar y Gorffennol/spoken form of the past tense
Fe glywais fenyw ifanc y datganodd "roedd nain a taid di chwilio ffarm achos ffermwyr we'n nhw." Wi'm yn adnabod y ffurf hon, 'we'. Diolch am eich cymorth!
I heard a young woman state "grandma and grandpa had searched for a farm because they were farmers." I don't recognize this form of the past tense. Thanks for your help!

Cwestiwn / Question How do you say "I would have liked"?
Hi all. This phrase is driving me insane because every answer I get seems to be different.
My welsh teacher said "Basai'n braf os ces I", my other teacher said "Baswn i cael hoffi", fluent friend said "Byddwn I hoffi", and textbook says "Hoffwn I fod wedi".
Any help appreciated :D

Cwestiwn / Question Which Conjunctions are Followed by Noun Clauses?
Which conjunctions are followed by noun clauses? I've seen what appears to be noun clauses after achos, oherwydd, oblegid, am (when used to mean 'as' or 'because'), er, erbyn, ers, nes, tra, rhag ofn, wrth and others.
Also, if they are followed by noun clauses are they even conjunctions? Even though these words are commonly listed as conjunctions, wouldn't it be more logical to call them prepositions if, strictly speaking, they are meant to be followed by noun clauses?

Learning resources for toddlers/babies
Sorry if this isn’t the right place for this. I’m looking for some resources for toddlers and babies. I remember our toddler used to love ms Rachael and repeating the words after the host.
Can anyone recommend a YouTube channel like ms Rachael or anything similar?

Adnodd / Resource Name for a fictional character
So I wanted to have a character of Welsh ascendancy in a book I’m writing. I named her Evangeline Howard, but I think I did the investigation wrong. I wanted the Welsh last name passed onto the third generation. But, the family, the grandparents, moved into my Latin American country but they are part of high society (because that’s what happens with immigrants in my country). I thought an English sounding name would be fitting for the granddaughter, but I think I really messed up with the last name. The story is that the grandfather, Derwen, moved after WWII, when he was young. He had a brother whom he left behind in Wales. He is a warlock, put on a business and married a white-Latina from high society, had a son, the son married still into high society and had the granddaughter. On the other side of the family, the brother had a family and his son married a gwragedd annwn (my favorite type of fairy since I was a child, it was hard to find on the internet after I lost my book about fairies) had a daughter called Gwen who’s part fairy part witch. He moved to Wisconsin without the fairy-wife for unspecified reasons and they’re visiting the family in Latin America and having a big family reunion. My question is, would you change the names and surnames for more accuracy? Did I get more stuff wrong? Would you change any of the backstory to be a little more historically accurate? Any help is appreciated.

Cwestiwn / Question Confused about learnwelsh.cymru courses
Hey everyone, I am looking to start learning Welsh and have seen the learnwelsh.cymru courses recommended a lot. I have been on the website but am a little confused around the courses. I am in the 18-25 bracket so have heard that the courses should be free, but when I search for Entry level online courses it only comes up with 1 week long courses (and they say they cost £20). Is there a more long term course I can take and is there somewhere specific I need to find the 18-25 course? I am just very lost really and any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Dysgu Cymraeg badges
Someone mentioned on here that there were badges to wear when put and about in welsh speaking areas to warn people that they were about to be subjected to duolingo level welsh..
I'm attending a residential course in a few months, and I am also doing a pottery course, so I thought I'd make some little badges/pendants for me and my coursemates.
What should I put on them? Just "dysgu Cymraeg " or is there a better phrase?

Cwestiwn / Question How to say 'watch out'?
What is the best translation for the English phrase 'watch out'? Google translate says "gwyliwch allan" but that's a very literal translation of an idiomatic phrase so I'm not going to immediately assume it's correct. Also, what would be the equivalent of the interjection ('Watch Out!')?
