ond dw i ddim yn gwybod beth i’w gael yn bresant iddi.
ok, so although the English comes out as “as a present for her”, this is a ‘logical’ translation, not a ‘word-for-word’ translation. The yn here does not mean ‘as’ in Welsh, it is turning ‘presant’ into an adjective, which is just a way Welsh has that of implying an ‘as’ in this example. You could equally use ‘fel’ (which does mean ‘as’) in the same sentence to get a ‘word-for-word’ translation.

Thank you
@gisella-albertini - you’ve gotten great answers from Gruntius and Siaron, but here’s a little more. This is a scan from Gareth King’s dictionary (my very old copy that is falling apart) of the page about mutations. It is a good, concise review of the various rules and I refer to it OFTEN (which is why it is falling apart at this point). Hope it helps! (click to enlarge)
And here’s a pdf version you can download: mutations.pdf (560.6 KB)

Thanks @Sionned. 
p.s. I remember that when I first started, seeing a scheme of mutations rules drove me straight into despair. 
But now that quite a few things have started to become familiar, this is definitely helpful!

OK @garethrking, how does Iasgobanw work as a word? Iasgob as in Esgob, instead of Iesu, which could be considered blasphemous and anw as in enw? I’m sorry, I appear to be answering my own question. It’s just that it’s not in GPC or G Translate.
Yes Margaret - iasgob is gog variant of esgob (and yes, no doubt a taboo substitution for Iesu); while anw is not enw but annwyl - dear bishop!!

Is there an idiom for “love hate relationship” in Welsh please?
Hi. I hope you don’t mind me jumping in here but I have a question about an idiom too. I was wondering how to say “I owe you one.” Thanks.
The translation is “mae arna i un i ti” and I gather ar for owe can be idiomatic. In the sense of “mae arnat ti barch iddo” - you owe him respect is an example given by geiriadur yr academi

Diolch. So I could say “mae arna i coffee i ti”?

I have a question about song lyrics.
Bryn Fôn’s song Tre’ Porthmadog has a line in it which seems to say: “Ffarwel i’r copa cnechda’r Wyddfa”
The only word I can guess “cnechda” could be is “cnicht” in GPC. Which kind of makes sense: “farewell to the peak of the knight Yr Wyddfa” - is that right?
Second question:
It also seems to have the “Palio llechi glas o 'Stiniog…”
Is it Palio? or is it Pa liw? or something completely different??
I can’t find a copy of the song online to listen to you. I’ve found the lyrics but they have loads of spelling mistakes in it so I’m doubting them 
Diolch ymlaen llaw
Cnicht is a mountain visible from Porthmadog - ironically you can see it from Snowdon Street which leads a lot of visitors thinking it’s Snowdon. The line could maybe be “Ffarwel i’r copau Cnicht a’r Wyddfa”? (disclaimer - I haven’t had a listen yet!)
As for the second, I’m thinking maybe it might be halio (to haul*) rather than palio (doesn’t appear to be a word!), as Porthmadog was the port from where huge amounts of slate quarried in Ffestiniog was exported.
*warning - be aware this verb also has a second, ruder, meaning… so do be careful which context you apply it to!

That makes perfect sense!! That’s brilliant diolch!
Halio also makes more sense and I promise I’m definitely not looking up the rude meaning right now 
Diolch yn fawr Siaron!

I’m listening to it now and the line in question is: “Ffarwel i’r Cob a Cnicht ar Wyddfa,” (Farewell to the Cob and Cnicht and Snowdon) the Cob being the embankment that was built to reclaim the land and has the road and Ffestiniog Railway running along it.

The other line you queried definitely sounds like, “Halio’r llechi glas o 'Stiniog,” to me, so @siaronjames’s guess was right.
