En: Among the snowy hills in Cymru, the snug cabin in the Copaon Brecon offered a shelter from the harsh winter. Cy: Roedd Carys yn gorwedd ar y soffa, ei throed wedi'i lapio mewn rhwymyn. En: Carys lay on the sofa, her foot wrapped in a bandage. Cy: Roedd hi wedi anafu ei ffêr wrth sgïo. En: She had injured her ankle while skiing. Cy: Roedd hi'n benderfynol o wella'n gyflym, roedd hi eisiau ymuno â'r daith gerdded Gŵyl Dewi gyda'i ffrindiau. En: She was determined to recover quickly because she wanted to join the St. David's Day walk with her friends. Cy: Roedd Rhys ac Evan, ei ffrindiau, yn brysur yn hel coed tân tu allan. En: Rhys and Evan, her friends, were busy gathering firewood outside. Cy: Roedd y tân gwreichion yn y lle tân cerrig yn llenwi'r caban â gwres a chyfforddusrwydd. En: The crackling fire in the stone fireplace filled the cabin with warmth and comfort. Cy: Roedd hi'n ddiwrnod oer, gyda gwynt yn chwythu trwy'r dyffryn. En: It was a cold day, with wind blowing through the valley. Cy: "Dylai Carys orffwys," meddai Rhys, gan roi llond llaw o goed ar y llawr ger y drws. En: "Carys should rest," said Rhys, placing a handful of wood on the floor near the door. Cy: "Mae angen amser arni i wella. En: "She needs time to heal." Cy: ""Ond mae hi'n benderfynol," atebodd Evan. En: "But she's determined," replied Evan. Cy: "Yn dal i fyny ei hysbryd annibynnol. En: "Still holding onto her independent spirit." Cy: "Wrth i'r dydd fynd yn ei flaen, dechreuodd môr o eira gwibio o'r awyr, y sŵn gwynt yn cryfhau. En: As the day passed, a sea of snow began to whirl from the sky, the sound of the wind intensifying. Cy: Gwnaeth Carys edrych trwy'r ffenestr, yn gweld y gwyn mwyaf yn raddol gorchuddio’r olygfa. En: Carys looked through the window, seeing the greatest white gradually covering the view. Cy: Roedd yma y frwydr fewnol - a ddylai symud yn groes i'r cyngor, neu a ddylai gymryd amser i wella? En: There was an internal struggle—should she move against the advice, or should she take the time to heal? Cy: Tua diwedd y prynhawn, daeth y storom eira. En: Towards the end of the afternoon, the snowstorm arrived. Cy: Roedd Rhys ac Evan yn dal yn yr awyr agored, y sŵn yn gymysg â chynhesrwydd llais Carys o'r tu mewn. En: Rhys and Evan were still outdoors, the sound mingling with the warm voice of Carys from inside. Cy: Roedd hi am fynd allan, am eu helpu. En: She wanted to go out, to help them. Cy: Ond rhybuddiodd llais cyffredin ei feddwl. En: But the common sense voice in her mind warned her. Cy: Roedd rhaid iddi gadw ei lle. En: She had to stay in place. Cy: Pan ddaeth Rhys ac Evan mewn, eu dillad wedi'u gorchuddio ag eira, ymlaciodd Carys rywfaint. En: When Rhys and Evan came in, their clothes covered in snow, Carys relaxed somewhat. Cy: Cafodd hi sylweddoli bod cymorth ffrindiau hefyd yn gryfder. En: She realized that the help of friends was also a strength. Cy: Gydag uned tyn, treuliodd y tri y noson wrth y tân, yn adrodd straeon ac yn mwynhau cwmni ei gilydd. En: As a tight unit, the three spent the evening by the fire, telling stories and enjoying each other's company. Cy: Ynghanol gwres a llewyrch y tân, ddechreuodd Carys weld bod derbyn help a bod yn rhan o gymuned yn rhan o gryfder. En: Amidst the warmth and glow of the fire, Carys began to see that accepting help and being part of a community is part of strength. Cy: Gan edrych ymlaen at ddiwrnod Gwyl Dewi, gwelodd bod derbynoliaeth yn gallu bod lawn mor bwerus ag annibyniaeth. En: Looking forward to St. David’s Day, she saw that receptiveness could be just as powerful as independence. Cy: Aeth y storm heibio, gyda'r bore yn dod â haul a thawelwch newydd. En: The storm passed, with the morning bringing new sunlight and tranquility. Cy: Er nad oedd hi'n barod i gerdded eto, roedd hi'n ddiolchgar am y pethau roedd hi wedi'u dysgu. En: Although she wasn't ready to walk yet, she was grateful for the things she had learned. Cy: Roedd hwn yn amser o gryfder mewn derbyn, ac ymdeimlad newydd o gymuned. En: This was a time of strength in acceptance, and a new sense of community. Cy: Roedd Carys yn gwybod bod ei ffrindiau yno, yn barod i roi llaw, unwaith fyddai hi'n barod i fynd a chrwydro eto. En: Carys knew her friends were there, ready to lend a hand, once she was ready to go and roam again.

En: On a cold winter morning, a strong wind was blowing along the Promenâd Llandudno. Cy: Roedd y môr yn rhuo yn erbyn y creigiau, gan anfon ysgeiriau i'r awyr. En: The sea was roaring against the rocks, sending spray into the air. Cy: Dylan, a oedd yn dawel a myfyrgar, cerddodd ar draws y prif ffordd, yn dal bag du yn ei law. En: Dylan, who was quiet and contemplative, walked across the main road, holding a black bag in his hand. Cy: Roedd yn ansicr am y digwyddiad glanhau traeth cymunedol hwn, ond roedd yn teimlo'r angen i ddod o hyd i gysylltiad newydd. En: He was uncertain about this community beach cleaning event, but felt the need to find a new connection. Cy: Ymhellach ymlaen, gwelodd Eira yn symud yn egniol, yn plygu i gasglu sbwriel gyda'i bag lliwgar. En: Further along, he saw Eira moving energetically, bending to collect trash with her colorful bag. Cy: Roedd hi'n bywiog ac yn llawn brwdfrydedd, yn angerddol dros gadw'r môr yn lân. En: She was lively and full of enthusiasm, passionate about keeping the sea clean. Cy: Pan welodd Eira Dylan, gwnaeth hi chwifio'n siriol. En: When Eira saw Dylan, she waved cheerfully. Cy: "Helo, fi yw Eira," meddai hi gan ddangos tawelwch i'r dŵr dŵr gwyntog. En: "Hello, I'm Eira," she said, showing calmness to the windy sea. Cy: Dylan wnaeth grynhoi ei ysgwyddau, yn ansicr sut i ateb, ond yn ddiarwybod iddo fe deyfwyd yr angen i ymateb. En: Dylan shrugged his shoulders, unsure how to respond, but unknowingly felt the need to reply. Cy: "Helo, fi yw Dylan," meddai, yn synnu at ei hun am siarad mor agored i gychwyn. En: "Hello, I'm Dylan," he said, surprised at himself for speaking so openly at first. Cy: Dechreuon nhw gerdded gyda'i gilydd, yn casglu darnau plastig a phapur o'r traeth. En: They began walking together, picking up plastic and paper pieces from the beach. Cy: Roedd angen croesair ar Dylan, ond roedd ymadroddion Eira yn rhydd a llon. En: Dylan needed a moment to settle, but Eira's expressions were free and lively. Cy: "Pam daethoch chi yma heddiw? En: "Why did you come here today?" Cy: " gofynnodd Eira, gan dynnu llygad Dylan i'r môr. En: Eira asked, drawing Dylan's eyes to the sea. Cy: Roedd cwestiwn rhwng dau ddewis yn y tŷ, na fyddai'n mynd i'r digwyddiad. En: It was a question between two choices at home, whether he would go to the event or not. Cy: "Roedd angen newid arna i," dywedodd Dylan, yn eiddgar am ymroi yn ei phen ei hun. En: "I needed a change," Dylan said, eager to dedicate himself to it in her presence. Cy: Gwnaeth Eira wneu mewn meddwl am y modd y gellid defnyddio'n hamddenol bŵer cyfeillgarwch i ddod â phobl gyda'i gilydd. En: Eira nodded thoughtfully, considering how the casual power of friendship could bring people together. Cy: "Roeddwn i'n gobeithio y gallai rhywun fel chi ddod â'ch hunain i'r digwyddiad," atebodd Eira yn ddoeth. En: "I hoped someone like you would join," Eira wisely replied. Cy: Wrth iddynt eistedd ar fainc am egwyl, aeth y sgwrs i fannau mwy personol. En: As they sat on a bench for a break, the conversation turned to more personal topics. Cy: Siaradodd Dylan am ei ansicrwydd, ei hobia antyfogiadwy i gysylltu â phobl. En: Dylan spoke about his insecurities and his undeniable fear of connecting with people. Cy: Rhannodd Eira ei stori am ei chariad at natur a'i hymdrechion i ysbrydoli eraill. En: Eira shared her story about her love for nature and her efforts to inspire others. Cy: Yn sydyn, roedd yn glir bod ganddynt gariad cyffredin at y môr a pharod iawn ei warchod. En: Suddenly, it became clear that they both had a common love for the sea and a keen willingness to protect it. Cy: "Beth am i ni fynd am dro yng Nghoed Cyrnol un ddiwrnod? En: "How about we take a walk at Coed Cyrnol one day?" Cy: " awgrymodd Dylan mewn ton gobeithiol. En: Dylan suggested in a hopeful tone. Cy: Gwelodd Eira yr ynswm newydd yn ei llygaid. En: Eira saw the renewed determination in his eyes. Cy: "Byddai hynny'n wych," atebodd hithau, gwenodd arno wrth deimlo argraff calon. En: "That would be great," she replied, smiling at him while feeling a heartfelt impression. Cy: Wedi diwedd y diwrnod, cerddodd Dylan gartref teimlo'n gysylltiedig ac yn bwrpasol. En: By the end of the day, Dylan walked home feeling connected and purposeful. Cy: Roedd y stori wedi newid iddo, ac roedd hefyd yn rhoi gwerth newydd i Eira ar rym yr ysbrydoliaeth tawel. En: The story had changed for him, and it also gave new value to Eira about the power of quiet inspiration. Cy: Roedd cynnig ysgafn i ddiffodd yr unigedd. En: It was a gentle offer to extinguish loneliness. Cy: Y sgragen olaf oedd penderfyniad o wyro dros rwystrau, un gam ar y tro, gyda ffrind newydd. En: The final scrap was a decision to navigate obstacles, one step at a time, with a new friend. Cy: Ar ddiwedd y diwrnod, roedd tyfiant y môr yn drydar yn groesawgar, nid ynysig, ond yn llais newydd ac yn gwahoddiad i siwrnai ar y dibyn o gymuned. En: At the end of the day, the growth of the sea hummed welcomingly, not as isolated, but as a new voice and an invitation to a journey on the edge of community.

Roedd Owain, y disgybl tawel ond talentog, yn syllu ar y sgrinau mawr gyda ffascineiddio. En: "You don't have to be so nervous," Owain, the quiet but talented student, was staring at the large screens with fascination. Cy: "Dwi ddim yn meddwl y byddaf byth yn deall hyn i gyd," meddai Owain, yn dal i edrych arno gyda rhyfeddod. En: "I don't think I'll ever understand all of this," said Owain, still looking on in wonder. Cy: Roedd seminar gyda Gwyn ap Cadog ar y daflen amser, ond wrth iddyn nhw gyrraedd y neuadd, cafodd Rhiannon erchwyn llithrog wrth glywed ei fod wedi'i ganslo. En: There was a seminar with Gwyn ap Cadog on the schedule, but as they reached the hall, Rhiannon was let down upon hearing it had been canceled. Cy: "Beth fydda i'n ei wneud nawr?" roedd ei hartigli a rhystaidd ei llais. En: "What will I do now?" her voice was shaky and anxious. Cy: "Rhaid i ti wneud rhywbeth," cynghorodd Gareth, "Cefnogaeth bersonol yw dy gryfder di." En: "You have to do something," advised Gareth, "Personal support is your strength." Cy: Penderfynodd Rhiannon actio heb ail-feddwl. En: Rhiannon decided to act without second-guessing. Cy: Tra oedd pob yn gadeirydd, aeth ati i chwilio am y gwneuthurwr animeiddio enwog ymysg y stondinau lliwgar a bythgofio. En: While everyone was seated, she set out to find the famous animation creator among the colorful and unforgettable stalls. Cy: Ymhen ychydig, gweld Gwyn ap Cadog yn unig, ar stondin, yn edrych ar Wobrau Heddlu'r St. David's Day sy'n dangos animeiddiadau Cymreig. En: Shortly, she spotted Gwyn ap Cadog alone, at a stall, looking at the St. David's Day Police Awards showing Welsh animations. Cy: "Helô," meddai'n dawel, nesaf ato, "ydw i'n dy atal?" En: "Hello," she said quietly, beside him, "am I interrupting you?" Cy: "Gwaith gwych hwn, yn'r ydwyt?" llygadwraidd hen Gwyn, gydag awyrennau cyflawn. En: "Great work this, isn't it?" said the sharp-eyed old Gwyn, with a complete readiness. Cy: Roedd Rhiannon eisiau hwylio ei breuddwydion, felly tausodd am eiliad, "Rwyf am fod yn ddylunydd graffeg," dywedodd, "Ond dw i ddim yn gwybod sut i ddechrau." En: Rhiannon wanted to pursue her dreams, so she paused for a moment, "I want to be a graphic designer," she said, "But I don't know how to start." Cy: Roedd gwenu Gwyn yn fawreddog, "Creu," meddai, "creuwch eich gwaith a cheisiwch eich hunan. En: Gwyn's smile was majestic, "Create," he said, "create your work and challenge yourself. Cy: Cerddwch tros eich ofnau. En: Walk over your fears. Cy: Amser i gryfhau bob profiad." En: Time strengthens every experience." Cy: A thrwy gael eu geiriau, rhoddodd Gwyn ei gyswllt, "Ffonia fi, pan fydd angen help arnat ti." En: And by receiving his words, Gwyn gave her his contact, "Call me when you need help." Cy: Roedd dim trwydded mwyach i'w marchad mewn singl, ond eto, roedd Rhiannon yn teimlo ryw wybodaeth newydd a chyffrous yn cychwyn godroi. En: There was no longer a queue for his autograph, but still, Rhiannon felt some new and exciting knowledge beginning to rise. Cy: Wrth iddi adael, teimlodd ysgafnder yn ei cham bach, yn fwy penbyliaethus na phob un diwrnod arall yn ei bywyd. En: As she left, she felt light in her small step, more determined than any other day in her life. Cy: Roedd cael hyder a gweledigaeth glir yn ei sefyllog. En: Having confidence and a clear vision fueled her stance. Cy: "Rydw i wedi cychwyn fy siwrne!" sibrwdodd hi wrth Gareth ac Owain, yn sicr ei bod ar fin dechrau penod newydd ei bywyd gyda'u cefnogaeth nhw. En: "I've started my journey!" she whispered to Gareth and Owain, certain she was about to begin a new chapter of her life with their support. Cy: Nhw i gyd yn dilyn eu llwybrau, gan edrych ymlaen at St. David's Day, a'u hatgofion newydd i'w ailymwelidd. En: They all followed their own paths, looking forward to St. David's Day, and their new memories to revisit.

En: The school is full of lively sounds of children playing and their excited voices echoing through the cozy corridors. Cy: Mae'r muriau wedi'u haddurno â chrefftau llaw wedi'u gwneud gan y plant a phosteri yn dathlu diwylliant Cymreig, yn atgoffa pawb am Ddydd Gŵyl Dewi sy'n agosáu. En: The walls are decorated with handmade crafts made by the children and posters celebrating diwylliant Cymreig, reminding everyone of Dydd Gŵyl Dewi which is approaching. Cy: Yn un o'r dosbarthiadau llachar, mae Gwenllian yn aros yn anniddig wrth ei bwrdd. En: In one of the bright classrooms, Gwenllian waits restlessly at her desk.

En: She is looking forward to meeting with Rhys, a concerned father of one of her pupils, and seeing how things develop. Cy: Cychwynnodd Rhys ar hyd yr iâr, yn poeni am y cyfarfod.

En: He fears that his son is not getting the education he needs to overcome his reading difficulties. Cy: Ymestynnodd i agor y drws dosbarth, a chymerodd anadl ddofn cyn camu mewn. En: He reached to open the classroom door and took a deep breath before stepping in. Cy: "Gwenllian, croesawu chi. En: "Gwenllian, welcome. Cy: Diolch am drefnu'r cyfarfod hwn," meddai Rhys, yn edrych o gwmpas ar yr ystafell â'i lliwiau llachar. En: Thank you for organizing this meeting," said Rhys, looking around the room with its bright colors. Cy: "Croeso, Rhys. En: "You're welcome, Rhys. Cy: Rwy'n falch eich bod wedi gallu dod," ateb Gwenllian, yn gwênog. En: I'm glad you could come," replied Gwenllian, smiling. Cy: Roedd Rhys yn edrych yn amheugar. En: Rhys looked doubtful. Cy: "Rwy'n poeni bod fy mab angen mwy o ddulliau traddodiadol. En: "I'm worried my son needs more traditional methods. Cy: Ydych chi'n siŵr bod eich dull yn gweithio? En: Are you sure your approach is working?" Cy: "Cymerodd Gwenllian i'r cyfle hwn i egluro ei dulliau. En: Gwenllian took this opportunity to explain her methods. Cy: "Rwy'n deall eich pryderon, Rhys. En: "I understand your concerns, Rhys. Cy: Edrychwch ar y prosiect hwn," meddai, yn tynnu allan llun a thestun a luniwyd gan ei fab.

Cy: Roedd hyn yn foment allweddol, gyda Gwenllian yn esbonio sut gall ef helpu ei fab gartref drwy adolygu deunydd mewn ffyrdd creadigol.

    Fluent Fiction - Welsh: Weathering the Wilderness: Lessons in Snowy Eryri Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-02-18-23-34-02-cy Story Transcript: Cy: Roedd Rhys a Carys yn sefyll ar ruban o eira trwchus, ac yn edrych allan dros y tir gwyllt euraidd o'u blaenau. En: Rhys and Carys were standing on a thick ribbon of snow, looking out over the golden wilderness before them. Cy: Roeddynt yng nghoetiroedd caled Mynyddoedd Eryri, lle mae'r tirwedd yn llym ac anghysbell, wedi'i hysgubo mewn eira gwyn llachar. En: They were in the tough forests of the Mynyddoedd Eryri, where the landscape is rugged and remote, swept in bright white snow. Cy: Er bod yr awyr yn glir yn y bore hwnnw, roedd gwynt oer yr hydref yn chwythu trwy'r coed derw fel cyseinydd llesmaer, gan dapiau ar ofal Carys. En: Even though the sky was clear that morning, the cold autumn wind was blowing through the oak trees like a resonant chime, tapping at Carys's caution. Cy: "Rhy drwm ydy eira heddiw," meddai, ei llygaid yn syllu tua'r copa anorchfygol. En: "The snow is too heavy today," she said, her eyes gazing towards the unconquerable peak. Cy: Ond roedd Rhys yn chwerthin yn ddibryder. En: But Rhys laughed, carefree. Cy: "Bydd yn iawn, Carys," meddai'n hyderus, ei llais yn llawn brwdfrydedd. En: "It will be fine, Carys," he said confidently, his voice full of enthusiasm. Cy: "Dim ond taith arall ydyw. En: "It's just another journey." Cy: "Trodd Carys ei llygaid ar Rhys. En: Carys turned her eyes to Rhys. Cy: Roedd ei chefnogaeth yn adleisio ymrestra y tirwedd. En: His support echoed the resilient landscape. Cy: Roedd hi'n gwybod bod Rhys bob amser yn dyheu am anturiaethau. En: She knew Rhys always yearned for adventures. Cy: Fodd bynnag, mae hi'n dal i deimlo amser caeth mewn bygythiedig. En: However, she still felt a tense sense of trepidation. Cy: "Edrych," pechoder Rhys, yn pwysleisio i'r paith. En: "Look," urged Rhys, pointing to the expanse. Cy: "Rhaid i ni symud ymlaen cyn bod storm yn cyrraedd. En: "We have to move on before a storm arrives." Cy: "Gydag awydd i weld y cyd-destun o'u hamgylch, cymmerodd Rhys camau pendant ymlaen. En: With a desire to see the context around them, Rhys took decisive steps forward. Cy: Roedd Carys ar ei sodlau, ei bryder yn soi ar ddwrn ei gwytnwch. En: Carys was on his heels, her concern simmering at the edge of her resilience. Cy: Wedi'u hamgylchynu gan dawelwch a phurdeb Eryri, cymerasant eu blebythrau mewn cwblhau arafus nes iddynt droso seibor tua'r copa. En: Surrounded by the silence and purity of Eryri, they took their time in slow completion until they crossed towards the summit. Cy: Pan oeddynt yn cyrraedd tua brig y mynydd, dechreuodd awel galed o'r de i ganu. En: As they reached near the top of the mountain, a harsh wind from the south began to sing. Cy: Doedd na ddim predictable am yr ias syfrdanol o eira a daeth yn sydyn. En: There was nothing predictable about the sudden stunning flurry of snow. Cy: Edrychai Rhys ac Carys ar ei gilydd, on benderfynol i barhau roeddent yn cael eu drysu. En: Rhys and Carys looked at each other, but determined to continue, they were perplexed. Cy: Heb unrhyw sylw, llosgodd y niwl drwy'r mynyddoedd, gan orchuddio'r dolor i'w opticau. En: Without any warning, a mist swept through the mountains, covering the dolor from their view. Cy: Rhoddodd Rhys ei faner fel y signal o glymu, a sylweddoli gwylio, nad trefn yw hyn i ryfela gyda'r natur. En: Rhys held up his banner as a signal of binding, realizing in observance that this was no fight against nature. Cy: "Rhaid i ni droi yn ôl, Carys! En: "We must turn back, Carys!" Cy: " cydiodd Rhys ar ei gyfarfod, ei lais yn ddifrifol a siomedig. En: Rhys exclaimed, meeting her gaze with a serious and disappointed tone. Cy: Lluniodd barn bryder Carys ar sawl datgudd i gadw ei hadlais ei hun, gan din strôc drwy'r ffyn ar eu ffordd yn ôl. En: Carys formed her worried thoughts into several realizations to keep her own echo, striking through the twigs on their way back. Cy: Adnabodd adref, cynnes y gwersyll, roedd gynnau drws agored o ddiogelwch i'w hamddiffyn. En: Recognizing the warmth of the camp at home, the open doors of safety protected them. Cy: Edrychai Rhys ar Carys gyda diffyg hyder a llais drwsgl eto tawel. En: Rhys looked at Carys with a lack of confidence and a clumsy yet quiet voice. Cy: "diolch am gefnogi fi, Carys. En: "Thank you for supporting me, Carys. Cy: Dysgais y pwysigrwydd o wrando a drwsio'n gyfrwys," meddai Rhys, yn gwenu yn ddiolchgar. En: I learned the importance of listening and mending wisely," Rhys said, smiling gratefully. Cy: Doedd neb wedi anwybyddu rhoi eu hanadl i'r tyddyn, heb amheuaeth, i ddysgu am y ffordd cywir i fentro yn niogrwydd y bryniau gwyllt, dim ond pan gallwn. En: No one disregarded giving their breath to the farmhouse, undoubtedly, to learn about the right way to venture into the wild hills, only when we can. Cy: Nid y ni all addo fan hyn ymlaen, ond rûd o niw censor yn trafod ddoethineb y dyddiau diwethaf, rhaniad ar eu hysteroedd. En: We may not promise from here onwards, but there was a sense of conversation debating the wisdom of recent days, a division in their reflections. Cy: Yn y nos, wrth i'r erfyn anfon yn felys, llediodd Rhys ac ildiodd i'r gwersyll. En: At night, as the evening softened sweetly, Rhys relaxed and yielded to the camp. Cy: Roedd arlliw o heddwch, bod Rhys wedi dysgu gwyyn. En: There was a hint of peace, knowing that Rhys had learned wisdom. Cy: Roedd y mynyddoedd wedi'u cuddio â llachar, ond bydd y darnau hynny o'u hathro a'r benllys yn aros o eu cofnodion o'r eira niwlog a'r amgylchedd gwyllt, sydd bellach mewn ennyd, fel ymgartoeddu o gymesur a chanllaw. En: The mountains were cloaked in brightness, but those pieces of their teacher and the wilderness remained in their records of the foggy snow and the wild environment, now in a moment, like a gathering of harmony and guidance.
