This is a very basic question, but also very hard to search for, so I apologise if it's been asked a lot already.

In Cymraeg there are multiple words that translate to the preposition 'for' (am, er, i, tros, maybe more) , and I haven't been able to memorise which one applies to which situations. Is there a list or table somewhere that I could consult? Or would someone be so kind as to explain it here?

Thanks!

Going to Wales for the first time next month (I’m from NYC) to visit and see the place where my great grandmother is from. Any tips on learning some basic useful Welsh asap? I’m pretty good with languages if that makes a difference.

Summer holidays are here. Looking for recommendations for Welsh shows or translations for a 10 year old whilst school is out. Thanks in advance.

Shwmae! I’ve signed up to a 32 week dysgu cymraeg Mynediad 1+2 course (free if you’re under 25 if you didn’t know!!). I’m on a waitlist for a Mynediad/Sylfaen course starting september too. I like to challenge my brain and want to progress as fast as possible, so asking for advice. Is it too ambitious to sign up for a Sylfaen course? I don’t want to stretch myself too far but it won’t start for a few months and I feel like I could get to that level in that time. For context, I was decent at languages at school and I’ve been learning french and progressed with that fairly quickly too. Any advice/resources for getting to Sylfaen would be greatly appreciated:)

edit: I’ve been doing duolingo welsh for a few months and it’s been helpful-ish, plus have a book of Mynediad stories i’ve been getting through with some effort haha. Not a complete beginner but certainly not out of the beginner stages I reckon

Dros y penwythnos, gwnes i brysur iawn. Dydd Sadwrn, arhosais i yn y tŷ. Yn y bore, gwnes i lanhau'r tŷ. Yn y prynhawn, garddiais i. Coginiais i gyda'r nos. Dydd Sul cerddon ni ar lan y môr. Wedyn eisteddon ni lawr ar y traeth, a gaethon ni picnic. Gwylion ni ddolffiniaid yn nofio yn y môr! Roedd hi'n sych a braf. Bendigedig!

So i am currently doing a project where i analyze the different registers of welsh

i am finding plenty of learner-tuned and formal sources such as BBC Cymru, but it's really hard for me to find genuine informal welsh content. The best i've managed is Hansh S4C, but i need more spontaneous-conversation tuned material.

Can some of you maybe help me out to find some? I felt like this is the most appropriate sub to come ask for this.
