bilingual
"dwyieithog" means "bilingual" in Welsh (adjective). Pronounced /dʊɨ̯ˈjei̯θɔɡ/. Mutation forms: Treiglad Meddal → ddwyieithog, Treiglad Trwynol → nwyieithog.
In Welsh, the first letter of "dwyieithog" changes depending on the grammatical context. These are the mutated forms:
| Mutation | Form |
|---|---|
| Base form | dwyieithog |
| Treiglad Meddal | ddwyieithog |
| Treiglad Trwynol | nwyieithog |
Gall berson dwyieithog newid o un iaith i iaith arall yng nghanol frawddeg, ac mae'r cyfnewid-cod hwn yn bwnc astudio i ieithyddion.
A bilingual person can change from one language to another in the middle of a sentence, and this code-switching is a topic of study for linguists.
B2Rŷn ni, felly, yn croesawu'r egwyddor sylfaenol o ddod â chyfraith cynllunio Cymru at ei gilydd, sydd wedi bod ar wasgar, fel y mae'r Cwnsler Cyffredinol wedi darlunio i ni, mewn un corff codeiddiedig, dwyieithog, Cymreig.

C1Rwyf i eisiau gwneud yn siŵr eu bod nhw'n deall ein bod ni eisiau hwnnw fel cerdyn dwyieithog, ein bod ni eisiau gwneud yn siŵr bod baner Cymru yn rhan ohono, a byddwn yn gwrthwynebu ei alw'n 'gerdyn Brit'.
I want to make sure that they understand that we want that as a bilingual card, that we want to make sure that the Welsh flag is part of it, and I would object to it being called a 'Brit card'.
B2Hefyd, byddwn i'n hoffi gwybod sut mae'r Llywodraeth yn mynd ati i daro'r balans rhwng annog defnyddio enwau Cymraeg yn ogystal â pharchu hawliau perchnogion neu gymunedau y mae'n well ganddyn nhw gadw enwau Saesneg neu ddefnyddio arwyddion dwyieithog.
Also, I would like to know how the Government is going to strike a balance between encouraging the use of Welsh place names as well as respecting the rights of owners or communities who would prefer to keep English names or use bilingual signs.
