I'm getting a D&D related gift for my bf and I want to get an inscription on it.

His family has welsh heritage and he likes using welsh names/words in things. I want to inscribe "<His name> the Dungeon Master" in it, but want to get the translation correct (since I can't edit it later realistically).

I currently have "<His name< y Meistr Dwnsiwn" (which is what comes out of google translate). I've also seen "daeargell" for dungeon. I'm also not 100% if that's how you structure an honorific (I tried looking at people with famous honorifics like Vlad the Impaler and Richard the Lionheart, but couldn't find anything useful).

Any help is appreciated!

Mae yna ystrydeb, yn mynd yn ôl yn bell, fod Cymru yn llawn o bobl dywyll a byr/stoclyd; un o'r Subreddits sy'n perthyn i'r DU, roedd boi o Loegr yn sôn amdano pan aeth i weld Stereophonics yng Nghaerdydd yn y '90au ac am 5'10", fe 'dyrodd' dros bawb yno sy'n ymddangos yn wallgof. 5'9.5", yn yr Alban mae'n 5'9".

Shwmae bawb! Dim ond dysgwr ydw i ond dw i wrth fy modd yn darllen llyfre yn Gymraeg. Dw i 'di darllen llyfre eitha modern hyd yn hyn ond dw i eisiau trio rhywbeth mwy 'glasurol'. Dw i'n gwybod bod Kate Roberts yn enwog a phenderfyniais i ddechrau gyda'i llyfre hi. Ond mae llawer! Pa un dych chi'n awgrymu y ddylen i ddechrau gyda fe? Diolch :)

Hi, I'm a yr13 student at comp' school in Caerphilly and need help with collecting primary data for my Geography fieldwork. I'm investigating whether or not fossil fuels have become obsolete in recent years in Wales. To do so I need to gauge public opinion. I'll be incredibly grateful if you are able to fill out my survey and or possibly share it with others. It shouldn't take more than a couple minutes. This data will not be public in any way, all results are anonymous, and if you don't feel comfortable answering a specific question don't feel pressure to do so... Thanks.

So, in a recent online conversation with a Finn, we discussed the Finnish words pertaining to Wales. Apparently, they overwhelmingly prefer the term Kymri for Wales, kymri for Cymraeg and kymriläinen for Welsh (languages are uncapitalised forms of the country name). They can use Wales, wales, and walesilainen but apparently they sound "clunky".

In light of this I promised, on behalf of Y Cymry, that we would stop using Ffindir, Finneg and Ffinnaidd and use Sŵomi*,* Sŵomeg*,* and Sŵomaidd so as to extend them the same courtesy. Pass it on.

I would normally attempt to write yn Gymraeg but this post would be beyond my skill at present.

Are all of the following four sentences possible in Welsh?

I believe that (1) is slightly better than (2), but both should be fine. Do you agree?

(1) y stori [am ddreigiau] [i blant]

the story [about dragons] [for children]

'the story about dragons for children'

(2) y stori [i blant] [am ddreigiau]

the story [for children] [about dragons]

'the story about dragons for children'

Is there are a difference between (3) and (4)? What I want to know is if I can switch around the phrases in (1) and (2) as easily as in (3) and (4)?

(3) stori Wyn [am ddreigiau] [i blant]

story Wyn [about dragons] [for children]

'Wyn's story about dragons for children'

(4) stori Wyn [i blant] [am ddreigiau]

story Wyn [for children] [about dragons]

'Wyn's story about dragons for children'

Thank you very much for your help!

I have been told that there is a clear difference in how good the two phrases below will sound in Welsh:

(1) a. disgrifiad Mary o’r ddamwain yn y papur newydd

description Mary of-the accident in the paper news

‘Mary's description of the accident in the newspaper’

b. disgrifiad Mary yn y papur newydd o’r ddamwain

description Mary in the paper news of-the accident

‘Mary's description of the accident in the newspaper’

(1a) is supposed to sound good, but (1b) is supposed to sound pretty terrible.

(that is in comparison to:

 a. disgrifiad    o’r  ddamwain  yn   y  papur newydd
    description of-the accident  in  the paper news 
    ‘a description of the accident in the newspaper’

 b. disgrifiad  yn  y   papur newydd o’r    ddamwain 
    description in  the paper news   of-the accident
    ‘a description of the accident in the newspaper’

where a. just sounds a little bit better than b. but both are possible)

Is that correct?

Next, I'd like to see if there is such a contrast for similar constructions.

(2) a. disgrifiad hi o’r ddamwain yn y papur newydd

description her of-the accident in the paper news

'her description of the accident in the newspaper'

b. disgrifiad hi yn y papur newydd o’r ddamwain

description her in the paper news of-the accident

'her description of the accident in the newspaper'

Do you think (2a) sounds much better than (2b)?

(again, in comparison to:

a. disgrifiad o’r ddamwain yn y papur newydd

description of-the accident in the paper news

‘a description of the accident in the newspaper’

b. disgrifiad yn y papur newydd o’r ddamwain

description in the paper news of-the accident

‘a description of the accident in the newspaper’

where a. just sounds a little bit better than b. but both are possible)

(3) a. y disgrifiad hwn o’r ddamwain yn y papur newydd

the description this of-the accident in the paper news

'this description of the accident in the newspaper'

b. y disgrifiad hwn yn y papur newydd o’r ddamwain

the description this in the paper news of-the accident

'this description of the accident in the newspaper'

Do you think (3a) sounds much better than (2b)?

(again, in comparison to:

a. disgrifiad o’r ddamwain yn y papur newydd

description of-the accident in the paper news

‘a description of the accident in the newspaper’

b. disgrifiad yn y papur newydd o’r ddamwain

description in the paper news of-the accident

‘a description of the accident in the newspaper’

where a. just sounds a little bit better than b. but both are possible)

(4) a. pedwar disgrifiad ar bymtheg o’r ddamwain yn y papur newydd

4 description on 15 of-the accident in the paper news

'19 descriptions of the accident in the newspaper'

b. pedwar disgrifiad ar bymtheg yn y papur newydd o’r ddamwain

4 description on 15 in the paper news of-the accident

'19 descriptions of the accident in the newspaper'

Do you think (4a) sounds much better than (4b)?

(again, in comparison to:

a. disgrifiad o’r ddamwain yn y papur newydd

description of-the accident in the paper news

‘a description of the accident in the newspaper’

b. disgrifiad yn y papur newydd o’r ddamwain

description in the paper news of-the accident

‘a description of the accident in the newspaper’

where a. just sounds a little bit better than b. but both are possible)

Thank you!

Are all of the following four sentences possible in Welsh?

Somebody told me that the following expression is fine:

(1) disgrifiad y cigydd o'r offeiriad

description the butcher of the priest

'the butcher's description of the priest'

but the next expression is bad:

(2) *disgrifiad o'r offeiriad y cigydd

description of the priest the butcher

'the butcher's description of the priest'

but it could mean: 'a description of the butcher's priest.'

Question 1: Is that correct? Is (1) good and (2) bad with the given translation?

However, there is somebody else who talked about a very similar sentence.

She said the expression below is fine, just like the first one:

(3) disgrifiad y myfyriwr o ddŵr

description the student of water

'the student's description of water'

However, apparently, you can also say the following:

(4) disgrifiad o ddŵr y myfyriwr

description of water the student

'the student's description of water'

and it could also mean: 'a description of the student's water' (even though that's of course a strange meaning, but it could mean that just in principle)

Question 2: Is that also correct? Can you say both (3) and (4) as shown?

Thank you very, very much for your help, much appreciated.
