Beth sy'n bod?
This phrase means What's wrong?

More examples:

- Beth sy'n bod ar John?

- Beth sy'n bod ar Mary?

So you must use the preposition ar (on) with this phrase to ask about other people. Beth sy'n bod ar [someone]?

Like the preposition i (to, for), ar has several personal forms:
 * arna i (on me)
 * arnat ti (on you)
 * arno fe (on him)
 * arni hi (on her)
 * arnon ni (on us)
 * arnoch chi (on you)
 * arnyn nhw (on them)

In use:
 * Beth sy'n bod arna i?
 * Beth sy'n bod arnat ti?
 * Beth sy'n bod arno fe?
 * Beth sy'n bod arni hi?
 * Beth sy'n bod arnon ni?
 * Beth sy'n bod arnoch chi?
 * Beth sy'n bod arnyn nhw?

Talking about illness
Like when talking about possession, we must use the Oes/Mae patterns for talking about illness. Oes is for questions, and Mae is for statements.

Certain illnesses use the gyda (with) pattern:


 * Mae pen tost gyda fi.
 * I have a headache

Certain illnesses use the ar (on) pattern:


 * Mae annwyd arno fe.
 * He has a cold.

The general rule of thumb is: if the illness mentions a body part, use gyda. If the illness does not, use ar.
