[meddwlyngymraeg]

Vocabulary (geirfa)

Coelio -> to believe (verb)

coelion -> belief (noun)

Wnaeth y cyflwynedd, actores a cantores Lisa Jên bostio ar Twitter am rywbeth ei bod hi dweud dyw hi ddim yn gallu ‘coelio’n lwc’, or that she couldn’t believe her luck. Learned a new word today!

‘Methu coelio’n lwc!’ Can’t believe our luck!

Note: ‘n here. I’d assume it was short for ‘ein’? Our luck?

‘Wnes i ddim yn gallu coelio fy lwc pan wnes i ddod o hyd iddi hi. Ro’n i wedi bod ei chwylio amdani hi am hir!’ I couldn’t believe my luck when I found her. I had been searching for her for ages!

‘Doedd fy nghoelion ddim wedi cael torri.’ My belief was not shattered. (Idk, dramatic sentence. Couldn’t think of much else to use belief in really)

Another word for believe is ‘credu’, though I don’t know if you can use the two in interchangeable ways.

‘Dw i ddim un credu bod neb wedi ei weud e wrthi hi.’ I don’t believe that anyone has told her [about it].
