Shwmae, I’m just wondering how I would say “I made a few mistakes”
Would it be “fe wnes i ychydig camgymeriadau”? or would it be something else, I’ve seen gwall/gwallau = error or mistake in the app geiriaduron,
Diolch

You can’t use ychydig, as that is only for “uncountables”, like ychydig o ddŵr - a bit of water.
In this case I’d use ambell i followed by the singular:
Nes i ambell i gamgymeriad.

Lol, thanks Hendrik, I was getting worried, thank you for your help
Sorry @Hendrik - since we had an updated version of the forum, weird things are happening. I have no idea how my comment quoting you above ended up looking like it came from youl!

Not only that, but parts of my answer were lost in that process, as well.
O yes, sori! Somehow, it wiped out what you said and just kept the bit I’d highlighted!
I really don’t like this new version of the forum software. It seems to me it’s a case of “fixing things that weren’t a problem!”

Just a thought …in level 1 North Wales we are taught to say ychydig o ffrindiau and yet friends is a countable noun… ?
Yes, that was mentioned above - Hendrik explained it, then somehow that message got partially deleted. Gremlins after a new software update!
Just to clear up any remaining confusion and to reiterate what I said in the post that was gobbled up by forum gremlins: contrary to what I said in my first answer, you can use ychydig with countable nouns, but then you have to use the plural. For uncountable nouns you use the singular. So it’s:
ychydig o ddŵr - a bit of water
ychydig o ffrindiau - a few friends

Diolch for your help Hendrik
If my mother (Cymraes o Langadog) heard anyone ask for “tipyn o laeth” in their tea, she would correct them saying “diferyn o laeth” / “drop of milk”. I’m sure she would have accepted “ychydig o laeth” too.
This probably explains where I get it from - pedantig? fi? byth!

In answer to the original question I would say Gwnes i sawl camcameriad. Again using the singular.
