How do you say what going on about in welsh?

The best way to say "what's going on" in Welsh depends on the context:

Formal:

* Beth sy'n digwydd? (Beth s'n digwydd?) - This is the most literal translation and works in most situations.

Informal:

* Beth sy'n digwydd ti? (Beth s'n digwydd ti?) - This is a more colloquial way of asking "what's going on with you?"

* Beth sydd ar y gweill? (Beth sydd ar y gweill?) - This means "what's on the agenda" or "what's happening."

* Sut mae pethau? (Sut mae pethau?) - This means "how are things?"

When talking about a specific event:

* Beth sy'n digwydd yma? (Beth s'n digwydd yma?) - This means "what's happening here?"

* Beth sy'n digwydd yn y ffair? (Beth s'n digwydd yn y ffair?) - This means "what's happening at the fair?"

Remember that Welsh pronunciation is different from English. The "ch" sound is similar to the German "ch" in "ich." The "ll" sound is similar to the "th" in "thin."

Here's a table with the pronunciation guides:

| Word/Phrase | Welsh | Pronunciation (approximate) | English Translation |

|---|---|---|---|

| Beth sy'n digwydd? | Beth s'n digwydd? | Behth s'n digwydd? | What is happening? |

| Beth sy'n digwydd ti? | Beth s'n digwydd ti? | Behth s'n digwydd ti? | What is happening to you? |

| Beth sydd ar y gweill? | Behth sydd ar y gweill? | Behth s'n digwydd ti? | What is on the agenda? |

| Sut mae pethau? | Sut mae pethau? | Soot mae pethau? | How are things? |

| Beth sy'n digwydd yma? | Behth s'n digwydd yma? | Behth s'n digwydd yma? | What is happening here? |

| Beth sy'n digwydd yn y ffair? | Behth s'n digwydd yn y ffair? | Behth s'n digwydd yn y ffair? | What is happening at the fair? |

Don't be afraid to practice the pronunciation and try it out!
