Idiomatic Expressions

peth -> some

'Peth' normally means a thing, but it can also be used to mean some [of xyz]. I'd been hunting around for the right word to use in certain situations, and turns out there absolutely is a less clunky way than 'ychidig o...'. I can now use 'beth o...'

"Dwi angen peth o'r glud." I need some of the glue.

"Ga i beth?" Can I have some?

There are also other ways of saying 'some'.

Dw i'n blysio tipyn bach o'r cacen... Oes rhywbeth melys gyda ti? I'm craving a bit of cake... Do you have anything sweet?

Idiomatic Expressions

Dim gobaith caneri! -> Not a chance!

Yn anffodus, dim gobaith caneri! Unfortunately, not a chance!

Ond Rue, chi'n gofyn, pam caneri? Doesn't it mean a canary?

Yes, it does! And this phrase goes back to the old mining tradition of taking a canary down with you to the coal mines. The canary was more susceptible to fumes than people, and if the bird that was sent ahead began to lose consciousness, it was probably best to head back out!

The canary was taken care of, mind. The miners didn't just leave the canary to die. They would put it in a little airtight cage connected to an oxygen tank so it could be revived and breathe freely again, and they would take it back up the mineshaft.

Nowadays of course, we have better tech for this kind of thing and don't need to put a bird at risk, but quite a few miners actually missed having their little friend down the mines with them when they stopped using canaries. Nonetheless!
