Written in very colloquial northern Welsh Perhaps something for those who want to practise their “fluent native speaker who isn’t trying to sound like a book” Welsh.
You’d have an easier time if you learned with SSiW than if you had taken evening classes, of course! Since @aran teaches us some of those colloquial pronunciations and contractions. (For example, ddeutha chdi is essentially the same as the deuthafi and deuthoti that are taught in Level 2 Challenge 24 or thereabouts.)
I’m not sure what tha stands for, though. (Short for eithaf, perhaps?)
As you are a RaR watcher Philip, you will sometimes hear (or read in the Welsh subtitles), Meical (especially) using a contracted form of “glanhau” (to clean). Unfortunately, I can’t now remember what it is exactly. Perhaps “gnau” - but that doesn’t look right. But watch or listen out if Meical says something that you don’t understand, if it’s in a cleaning context.
(Unfortunately, Meical often says things I don’t understand! He’s one of the most challenging speakers on the programme, although he does have some competition in that regard!).

Otherwise, you’re entirely right…
