The dictionary hint said rheina could be "those" or "they". Can this sentence be translated "Where are they?"

Why is it not ble maen y rheina, with the verb in the plural? Is rheina deemed to be a singular or a collective, despite the fact that its English equivalent is plural?

The third person plural form of a verb (maen... here) is only used with the pronoun nhw in the colloquial language.
Nouns, singular or plural, use the third person singular form of verbs:
- Maen nhw'n ofnadwy - They are terrible
- Mae'r car yn ofnadwy - The car is terrible
- Mae'r ceir yn ofnadwy - The cars are terrible
- Mae'r rheina'n ofnadwy - Those are terrible

Thank you! I seem to have missed this point in the course notes, if indeed it has been mentioned there.
