There are two words for in/at:
- mewn - in (somewhere non-specific). Not followed by a mutation.
- yn - in (somewhere specific). Followed by a nasal mutation, and if the mutated word starts with m- or ng-, yn changes to ym or yng to match.
So:
- mewn swyddfa - in an office
- yn y swyddfa - in the office
- yn ei swyddfa hi - in her office
- yn Aberystwyth - in Aberystwyth (a specific place)
- yng Nghaerdydd - in Cardiff (nasal mutatation c => ngh)
- ym Mhwllheli - in Pwllheli (nasal mutation p => mh)
- Dw i'n gweithio mewn swyddfa yn Aberystwyth.
