Transportation

1. Ble mae'r orsaf fysiau?

   Bleh my-r or-sav vuh-sye?

   Where is the bus station?

   Usage

   Basic phrase to find the bus station or bus stop

   Grammar Note

   "gorsaf" (station) is feminine and soft-mutates after the definite article, giving "orsaf". A word following a feminine singular noun also soft-mutates, so "bysiau" becomes "fysiau" — the form another card already uses in this repo

2. Faint yw'r tocyn i Gaerdydd?

   Vay-nt yoor tock-in ee Gy-reeth?

   How much is a ticket to Cardiff?

   Usage

   Asking the price of a train or bus ticket to Cardiff

   Grammar Note

   "Caerdydd" (Cardiff) mutates to "Gaerdydd" after the preposition "i" (to)

3. Stopiwch yma, os gwelwch yn dda.

   Stop-ee-ooch uh-ma, os gwel-ooch un thah.

   Please stop here.

   Usage

   Telling a taxi or bus driver where to stop

   Grammar Note

   Adding "-wch" to the verb stem creates a polite command form in Welsh

4. Pryd mae'r trên nesaf yn cyrraedd?

   Preed my-r tren ness-av uhn kuh-rrye-eth?

   When does the next train arrive?

   Usage

   Asking about the next train arrival time at a station

   Grammar Note

   "Pryd" = when. "mae'r" is "mae" + "yr" (the). "yn cyrraedd" = arriving: "yn" + the verb-noun "cyrraedd"

5. Sut af i i faes awyr Caerdydd?

   Seet av ee ee vais ow-ir Ky-reeth?

   How do I get to Cardiff Airport?

   Usage

   Asking for directions or transport to Cardiff Airport

   Grammar Note

   "maes awyr" (airport) softly mutates to "faes awyr" after the preposition "i"

6. Hoffwn i logi car, os gwelwch yn dda.

   Hoff-oon ee log-ee kar, os gwel-ooch un thah.

   I would like to hire a car, please.

   Usage

   Politely requesting to hire a car — useful for exploring rural Wales

   Grammar Note

   The base form is "llogi" (to hire or rent). After "Hoffwn i" it soft-mutates (ll → l) to "logi". Used for hiring cars and equipment

7. Ble mae'r safle bws nesaf?

   Bleh my-r sav-leh boos ness-av?

   Where is the nearest bus stop?

   Usage

   Finding the nearest bus stop — buses are important in rural Wales

   Grammar Note

   "safle" (place/stop) is native Welsh; "bws" (bus) is borrowed from English — a typical Welsh combination

8. A yw hwn yn mynd i Aberystwyth?

   A yoo hoon uhn mind ee Ab-er-us-twyth?

   Does this go to Aberystwyth?

   Usage

   Confirming the destination of a bus or train

   Grammar Note

   "Aberystwyth" = "aber" (river mouth/confluence) + "Ystwyth" (river name) — a typical Welsh place name pattern

9. Faint o'r gloch mae'r bws nesaf yn gadael?

   Vay-nt or gloch my-r boos ness-av uhn gad-el?

   What time does the next bus leave?

   Usage

   Checking the departure time of the next bus

   Grammar Note

   "gadael" (to leave/depart) in the "yn + verb-noun" construction is equivalent to the English "-ing" form

10. Diolch am y daith.

    Dee-olch am uh tithe.

    Thank you for the journey.

    Usage

    Thanking a taxi or bus driver when alighting

    Grammar Note

    "taith" means journey or trip — used for both long travel and short rides, making it a versatile thank-you
