    Fluent Fiction - Welsh: Emrys' Undersea Odyssey: Conquering Fears in Blue Depths Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-02-24-08-38-20-cy Story Transcript: Cy: Ar ddiwedd yr haf, roedd haul y De yn chwaer-wen ar Arfordir Mawr Reef. En: At the end of the summer, the southern sun was white-chalked on the Arfordir Mawr Reef. Cy: Y dyfroedd glân yn llithro dros y cawellau coral lliwgar. En: The clear waters slid over the colorful coral reefs. Cy: Roedd llong bach Emrys yn siglo ysgafn wrth orffwys, wedi'i angori ger y creigiau tonnog hyn. En: Emrys' small boat swayed gently at rest, anchored near these wavy rocks. Cy: Roedd Gwen ac Owen eisoes wedi parhau i fynd i'r dŵr, eu ffroenellau'n disgleirio yn yr haul. En: Gwen and Owen had already continued into the water, their snorkels glistening in the sun. Cy: "Emrys, cymer dy amser," meddai Gwen yn siriol, gan ddisgwyl yn amyneddgar ar y bwrdd. En: "Emrys, take your time," said Gwen cheerfully, waiting patiently on the board. Cy: Roedd yn gwybod am ofn cudd Emrys. En: She was aware of Emrys' hidden fear. Cy: "Mae'r Byd Mawr Cudd yn disgwyl. En: "The Great Hidden World is waiting." Cy: "Roedd Emrys yn seryddiaeth forol gwyddonol. En: Emrys was a scientific marine astronomer. Cy: Yn byw am y cyfle i ddarganfod pysgodyn prin a glodfawr. En: Living for the chance to discover a rare and magnificent fish. Cy: Ond roedd rhaid iddo wynebu'r ofn oedd yn tagu ei galon—dyfroedd dwfn a thywyll. En: But he had to face the fear that gripped his heart—deep and dark waters. Cy: Mewn un anadl ddwfn, plymiodd i'r môr. En: In one deep breath, he dived into the sea. Cy: Dyddododd Emrys ei ofid wrth i donnau'r cefnfor ei chodi a thynnu'n ôl. En: Emrys deposited his worry as the waves of the ocean lifted and withdrew him. Cy: Wrth dorri ar draws y swigenau, roedden nhw'n darganfod byd cudd. En: Breaking through the bubbles, they discovered a hidden world. Cy: Byd anfeidrol o goralau, yn fwrlwm o fywyd a lliw. En: An infinite world of corals, teeming with life and color. Cy: Fe deimlodd synnwyr o ryddhau gwych. En: He felt a wonderful sense of release. Cy: Yn ddyfnach, roedd y môr yn tywyllu, ond yn addo llawer. En: Deeper, the sea darkened, but promised much. Cy: “Mae’n rhaid fynd,” meddai ei hun, wrth iddo longod yn agos at y creigiau. En: “I must go,” he told himself, as he navigated close to the rocks. Cy: Yna, gan daflu’i hun yn llwyr i’r dwr dyfnach er gwaethaf ofn, cyrhaeddodd Emrys y lle sôn amdano. En: Then, throwing himself completely into the deeper water despite fear, Emrys reached the famous spot. Cy: Yno, o flaen ei lygaid, ymddangosodd y pysgodyn prin! En: There, before his eyes, appeared the rare fish! Cy: Yn swyno, melyn a llawn patrwm, gwaead lliw coeth a dirgel. En: Enchanting, yellow, and full of pattern, woven with sophisticated and mysterious color. Cy: Lluniodd Emrys bob manylyn yn ofalus gyda'i gamera tansafle. En: Emrys carefully captured every detail with his underwater camera. Cy: Roedd y cyffro'n llenwi Emrys wrth iddo gofnodi'r golygfa a'r gwirionedd oedd yn ymledu o flaen ei lygaid dros ficroffilm hiroedd. En: The excitement filled Emrys as he recorded the scene and the truth unfolded before his eyes over microfilm rolls. Cy: Yn llyfn, dychwelodd Emrys i dechrau, ei gadwyni ofn wedi'u torri. En: Smoothly, Emrys returned to the start, his chains of fear broken. Cy: Roedd Gwen ac Owen yn eitri ar y dŵr, wynebau'n llawn gobaith. En: Gwen and Owen were floating on the water, faces full of hope. Cy: Wedi'u chwblhau gyda chyffro, cuddiodd Emrys y manuscript newydd y tu ôl iddo, llawn gorfoledd dros ei lwyddiant a'i newidiad emosiynol. En: Completed with excitement, Emrys hid the new manuscript behind him, full of joy over his success and emotional change. Cy: A dyna oedd hi. En: And that was it. Cy: Roedd Emrys wedi goresgyn ei ofn, y dyfroedd tywyll wedi eu goresgyn gyda’r brwydr. En: Emrys had overcome his fear, the dark waters conquered with the battle. Cy: Roedd wedi dod â metaphor daw i’r neilltu yn awr, ac roedd y byd morol ei frawdgarwch. En: He had now set aside a silent metaphor, and the marine world was his brotherhood. Cy: Roedd balchder ei wyneb yn disgleirio wrth iddo sgwrsio ar gyflawniad gyda Gwen ac Owen, am fynd allan gyda mwy o hyder a dewrder yn y dyfodol. En: The pride on his face shone as he conversed about the achievement with Gwen and Owen, ready to venture out with more confidence and bravery in the future.

    Seeking Solace: Gethin's Journey Through the Brecon Beacons

    Fluent Fiction - Welsh: Seeking Solace: Gethin's Journey Through the Brecon Beacons Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-02-23-23-34-02-cy Story Transcript: Cy: Gethin oedd yn troedio heibio bryniau gwynion y Brecon Beacons, y gwynt oer yn taranu drwy'i got drwchus. En: Gethin was treading past the white hills of the Brecon Beacons, the cold wind roaring through his thick coat. Cy: Ei feddwl yn brwydro, llawn o ddryswch am ei berthynas ddiweddar. En: His mind was battling, full of confusion about his recent relationship. Cy: Roedd y llwybr hwn i Lyn y Fan Fach yn adnabyddus am ei harddwch, ond hefyd am fod yn heriol. En: This path to Llyn y Fan Fach was known for its beauty, but also for being challenging. Cy: Serch hynny, roedd Gethin yn benderfynol i gyrraedd, yn chwilio am eglurder yng nghanol y mynyddoedd sanctaidd hyn. En: Nevertheless, Gethin was determined to reach it, searching for clarity amidst these sacred mountains. Cy: Wrth iddo edrych i lawr, gwelodd ei draed yn plygu o dan y symiau mawr o eira, ei anadl yn symud yn gyflymach. En: As he looked down, he saw his feet bending under the large amounts of snow, his breath moving faster. Cy: Yn sydyn, cronodd flinder ym mwiau ei goesau. En: Suddenly, fatigue collected in the muscles of his legs. Cy: Nid oedd yn arwain yr offer iawn nac wedi cyneithio'n ddigonol ar gyfer amodau'r gaeaf. En: He wasn't equipped with the right gear nor was he adequately insulated for winter conditions. Cy: Fodd bynnag, roedd ei ben yn llawn o'r angen i glirio ei feddwl, ac ymlid osgoi syndod perthnasol tra bod ei galon yn cymhlethu. En: However, his head was full of the need to clear his mind and avoid any unexpected emotions while his heart complicated matters. Cy: Wrth i'r nôs fynd yn ddyfnach ac yn oerni, collodd ei gydbwysedd ar rhisgl rhewllyd a syrthiodd i'r ddaear. En: As the night deepened and the cold intensified, he lost his balance on an icy bark and fell to the ground. Cy: Roedd y tywydd yn bygwth ei ddiogelwch yn gyflym. En: The weather quickly threatened his safety. Cy: Roedden nhw'n ei wneud ar y llwybr hwnnw ar ei ben ei hun yn awr yn ymddangos yn benderfyniad anghywir. En: Being on that path alone now seemed like a wrong decision. Cy: Pan oedd y byd yn dechrau wyro'n anhysbys, gwelodd ffigwr yn dynesu. En: When the world began to tilt into the unknown, he saw a figure approaching. Cy: Myfanwy oedd hwn, ei swnian llais yn y dŵr, "Ydych chi'n iawn? En: It was Myfanwy, her voice murmuring in the air, "Are you alright? Cy: Mae'r tymheredd yn syrthio'n isel iawn. En: The temperature is dropping very low." Cy: "Gethin, sefyll ar ei draed gyda gafael Myfanwy, eisoes yn teimlo dadleuol rhwng parhau a rhoi'r gorau iddi. En: Gethin, standing on his feet with Myfanwy's support, already felt torn between continuing and giving up. Cy: "Nid wyf yn siŵr beth i'w wneud," meddai. En: "I'm not sure what to do," he said. Cy: "Byddwn yn croesawu echryd o gymorth. En: "I would welcome a lot of help." Cy: " Pan ymunodd Rhys, y parc-rhingyll lleol, roedd yn glirio o'r posib o ddigwyddiadau. En: When Rhys, the local park ranger, joined, he made the gravity of the situation clear. Cy: “Cawn eich helpu chi,” dywedodd gyda llawer o drueni yn ei lais. En: “We'll help you,” he said with a lot of sympathy in his voice. Cy: "Mae'n bwysig deall ein cyfyngiadau. En: "It's important to understand our limitations. Cy: Byddem yn eich tywys i le cynnes. En: We will guide you to a warm place." Cy: "Fe helpodd Myfanwy ac Rhys i hynt â Gethin yn ddiogel i ganolfan wersylloedd gerllaw. En: Myfanwy and Rhys safely helped Gethin to a nearby campsite. Cy: Wrth iddo orffwys o flaen tân cynnes, roedd Gethin yn trafod gwerth ei iechyd dros gyflawni nod a oedd yn gyfethedig ar gyfer lloches emosiynol. En: As he rested in front of a warm fire, Gethin contemplated the value of his health over achieving a goal aimed at emotional solace. Cy: Deallodd fod derbyn cynhaliaeth oddi wrth eraill yn gryfder, nid yn wendid. En: He understood that accepting support from others is a strength, not a weakness. Cy: Roedd y gwersyll gysavol hwnnw nid yn unig wedi ei adfer ar ei draed ond hefyd wedi ailagor ei galon tuag at gwmnïaeth dda. En: That comforting camp not only restored him on his feet but also reopened his heart towards good company. Cy: Roedd y nen glir, ac mor arwddus i weld y byd gyda llygad newydd, Gethin yn sylwi nad oedd yn unig mwyach yng nghanol y cymoedd mynyddig hynny. En: The sky was clear, and so eager to see the world with fresh eyes, Gethin realized he was no longer alone in those mountainous valleys. Cy: Roedd gadael i eraill ddod ato wedi ei greu'n llwydd i orweliau newydd heb ei redeg ei ben ei hun mwyach. En: Letting others come to him allowed him to venture into new horizons without running alone anymore.

    Love on Snowy Peaks: A Sibling Journey on St. David's Day

    Fluent Fiction - Welsh: Love on Snowy Peaks: A Sibling Journey on St. David's Day Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/cy/episode/2026-02-23-08-38-20-cy Story Transcript: Cy: Daeth y diwrnod. En: The day came. Cy: Roedd y Bannau Brycheiniog wedi eu gorchuddio gan eira gwyn fel llwch siwgr, ac roedd yr awyr yn glir a chlên. En: The Bannau Brycheiniog were covered with snow as white as sugar dust, and the sky was clear and clean. Cy: Cariad yn teimlo'r awyr crisialog yn torri ar ei hwyneb. En: Cariad felt the crisp air break across her face. Cy: Roedd hi wedi penderfynu, ar ôl llawer o ystyriaeth, i wahodd Emrys i ddringo Pen y Fan ar y diwrnod mwyaf arbennig yn eu calendr teuluol - Dydd Gŵyl Dewi. En: She had decided, after much consideration, to invite Emrys to climb Pen y Fan on the most special day in their family calendar - Dydd Gŵyl Dewi (St. David's Day). Cy: "Byddai'n gyfle," meddai hi wrthi ei hun, "i geisio ail-adeiladu'r bont rhwng y ddau ohonom. En: "It would be an opportunity," she said to herself, "to try to rebuild the bridge between the two of us." Cy: " Roedd Cariad a Emrys wedi bod yn bell oddi wrth ei gilydd ers marwolaeth eu tad. En: Cariad and Emrys had been distant since their father's death. Cy: Mae eu mam, Rhian, wedi trio serchus i'w darnio nhw'n ôl at ei gilydd fel darnau'r jig-sôl a rownd bwrdd y teulu. En: Their mother, Rhian, had lovingly tried to piece them back together like jigsaw pieces around the family table. Cy: Pan gyrhaeddodd Emrys y traed o'r mynydd y bore hwnnw, roedd Cariad yn aros wrth y car, yn lapio'i sgarff o gwmpas ei gwddf. En: When Emrys arrived at the foot of the mountain that morning, Cariad was waiting by the car, wrapping her scarf around her neck. Cy: Roedd yr aer trwy Gau'r Bannau yn goglais ei throedau, yn ei atgoffa o'u teithiau plant ifanc i fyny'r ffordd hon gyda'u tad. En: The air through the Gau'r Bannau tickled her toes, reminding her of their childhood trips up this path with their father. Cy: Roedd y cof hwnnw fel alaw gyfarwydd, yn eu tynnu yn ôl i amser pan roedd popeth yn iawn. En: That memory was like a familiar tune, pulling them back to a time when everything was alright. Cy: "Mae'n braf dy weld di, Emrys," dywedodd Cariad yn feddal, "gobeithio bod y daith i fyny yma ddim yn ormod o drafferth. En: "It's nice to see you, Emrys," Cariad said softly, "I hope the journey up here wasn't too much trouble." Cy: ""Sdim byd, cawat mae eira'n gwneud popeth yn edrych yn hyfrydach," atebodd Emrys, gan osgoi ei llygaid. En: "Nothing at all, besides the snow makes everything look prettier," Emrys replied, avoiding her eyes. Cy: Roedd hi'n amlwg bod yr hen friwiau yn dal i fod yn ffres. En: It was obvious that the old wounds were still fresh. Cy: Gan ddechrau ar eu taith i fyny'r allt, roedd y swîdd oddi tanynt fel dyfroedd tawel o dan ddŵr iâ. En: As they began their climb up the slope, the valleys beneath them were like calm waters under ice. Cy: Cariad yn gwybod mai dyma oedd ei chyfle i ddechrau sgwrs ag Emrys, sgwrs gonest a gonestol. En: Cariad knew this was her chance to start a conversation with Emrys, an honest and candid conversation. Cy: Wrth iddynt dringo, treiais yn hir, dechreuodd Cariad mewn llef isel ond pendant. En: As they climbed, taking their time, Cariad began in a low but firm voice. Cy: "Emrys," dechreuodd hi'n feddwl, "dim ond unwaith hoffwn ni bod ni'n gallu deall ein gilydd. En: "Emrys," she began tentatively, "if only once, I'd like us to understand each other... even if it’s just once." Cy: hyd yn oed os yw dim ond unwaith. En: The words began to flow from her, feelings that had been buried for years emerging like melting snow in the sun. Cy: " Roedd yr eiriau'n dechrau llifo ohoni, teimladau a oedd wedi eu claddu ers blynyddoedd yn ymddangos fel eira tawdd yn yr haul. En: Emrys paused, listening. Cy: Roedd Emrys yn aros, yn gwrando. En: He needed to hear these words. Cy: Roedd arno angen clywed y geiriau hyn. En: "I don't want us to be like this forever, Cariad. Cy: "Dwi ddim eisiau i ni fod fel hyn am byth, Cariad. En: I miss you." Cy: Dwi'n dy golli di. En: Reaching the top of Pen y Fan, enveloped by the surprising sunlight breaking through the clouds, they looked at each other. Cy: "Wrth godi at ben Pen y Fan, ac yn eu lapio gan olau'r haul syndod sy'n torri trwy'r cymylau, edrychasant ar ei gilydd. En: The snow shifted under their steps as they moved forward, but the weight of the pain was just as pressing. Cy: Roedd yr eira'n symud dan eu pistyllau wrth iddynt gymryd cam ymlaen, ond oedd y pwysau o'r boen yr un mor daer. En: Cariad placed her hand on Emrys' to console him, saying in a gesture of reconciliation and tenderness, "We'll honor our Dad, Emrys. Cy: Fe ganmolodd Cariad ei llaw ar Emrys i'r diweddarach, gan ddywedyd mewn ystum cymod a thyner, "Bydda ni'n anrhydeddu ein Tad, Emrys. En: On Dydd Gŵyl Dewi, we'll do it together as a family." Cy: Ddydd Gŵyl Dewi, byddwn ni'n ei wneud ynghyd fel teulu. En: Winding their gradual way back to the car, Cariad and Emrys set aside their differences, the mountains bearing witness to their reunion. Cy: "Gan ymdroelli eu ffordd graddol nôl i'r car, roedd Cariad a Emrys wedi rhoi'r gwahaniaethau heibio, y mynyddoedd yn dyst i’u haduniad. En: By the time they reached the bottom, the tension and distance between them had eased considerably. Cy: Erbyn iddynt gyrraedd y gwaelod, roedd y cryd a'r carged rhwng y ddau yn fan haws i fod. En: Rhian was waiting for them, with open arms, and warm lemon drizzle cake and cheese bread, like any Welsh mother who knows how to celebrate Dydd Gŵyl Dewi with family. Cy: Roedd Rhian yn eu disgwyl, gyda chwtsh, a breichiau hafol o gem corddi lemon a bara caws, fel pob mam Gymreig sy'n gwybod sut i ddathlu Dydd Gŵyl Dewi gyda theulu. En: Cariad had learned that holding a grudge was not a solution, and the real step forward was letting go of their losses. Cy: Roedd Cariad wedi dysgu nad oedd anghoeddu nid oed na da ond y cam gwirioneddol oedd gadael eu colla, a'i frodyr wedi dysgu bod siarad a gwir barch yn anrheg dros bob anrhydedd. En: Her brothers learned that speaking and true respect was the greatest gift of all. Cy: A dyna sut, yn yr holl harddwch a thawelwch y Bannau Brycheiniog, daeth y teulu ynghyd unwaith eto, mawreddog dros bob cymal, dros bob col yn gallu ail-blethu theimladau cariad ac ymaddasu ar gyfer dyfodol newydd. En: And so, in all the beauty and serenity of the Bannau Brycheiniog, the family came together once again, grand beyond all joints, beyond all losses, able to re-weave feelings of love and adapt for a new future.

En: In the harsh temperament and weather of winter, the Ardal Genedlaethol Eryri was covered with a thick blanket of snow. Cy: Roedd mynyddoedd tal yn sefyll fel cewri tawel, eu creigiau wedi'u trochi yn gysgodion arian. En: The tall mountains stood like silent giants, their rocks drenched in silver shadows. Cy: Roedd yr awyr glir, glaciaidd, yn cynnig golygfeydd ysblennydd trwy'r dydd. En: The clear, glacial sky offered stunning views throughout the day. Cy: Wrth gerdded ar hyd llwybrau eiraog, roedd Emyr, dyn ifanc o ysbryd tawel, yn ceisio heddwch a myfyrdod. En: Walking along the snowy paths, Emyr, a young man of a quiet spirit, was seeking peace and meditation. Cy: Roedd yn anelu i ysbrydoli ei farddoniaeth newydd trwy natur dawel a rhamantus mynyddoedd Eryri. En: He aimed to inspire his new poetry through the serene and romantic nature of the Eryri mountains. Cy: Wrth ddringo'n ofalus, roedd cwningod eira a chyd-destiadau glaswelltaol yn dawel fritho'r tir. En: Climbing carefully, snow rabbits and patches of grass silently dotted the terrain. Cy: Gyda sŵn trwchus o dramplu drwy'r eira, ymddangosodd Cerys, merch cyffrous, heini, a llawn bywyd, yn cerdded i gyfeiriad Emyr. En: With the thick sound of trudging through the snow, Cerys, an excited, energetic, and lively girl, appeared, walking towards Emyr. Cy: "Bore da! En: "Good morning!" Cy: " gwaeddodd, ei llais yn llenwi'r awyrgylch dirgel. En: she shouted, her voice filling the mysterious atmosphere. Cy: Roedd ei bynciau lliwgar yn gwrthbwysleisio'r cwm gwyn oer. En: Her colorful clothes contrasted with the cold, white valley. Cy: "Wow," meddai Emyr, yn ceisio bod yn gwrtais ond hefyd yn dychmygu tawelwch ei unigedd yn batalu. En: "Wow," said Emyr, trying to be polite but also imagining the silence of his solitude being challenged. Cy: Ond roedd Cerys yn dymuno archwilio'r amgylchedd, yn llawn hwyl a gwybodaeth lleol. En: But Cerys wanted to explore the environment, full of fun and local knowledge. Cy: Roedd yn amlwg i Emyr ei bod hi'n wahanol iawn i'w golygfeydd arferol. En: It was obvious to Emyr that she was very different from his usual views. Cy: Wrth iddyn nhw gerdded, roedd Cerys yn sôn am ddigwyddiadau dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant, gan wahodd Emyr i fwynhau dathliadau gyda'r gymuned leol i ddod. En: As they walked, Cerys talked about Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Sant events, inviting Emyr to enjoy celebrations with the local community to come. Cy: Ac eto, roedd angen iddo ganolbwyntio – creu byd o odau yn ei ben. En: And yet, he needed to focus—creating a world of verses in his head. Cy: Ond roedd Cerys yn parhau i siarad, yn chwilfrydig am ei bwrpas. En: But Cerys continued to speak, curious about his purpose. Cy: "Beth am heddiw? En: "What about today? Cy: Ydych chi'n chwilio am rywbeth arbennig? En: Are you looking for something special?" Cy: " gofynnodd hi. En: she asked. Cy: "Heddwch," meddai Emyr yn syml. En: "Peace," said Emyr simply. Cy: Diolch i'i benderfyniad tawel, fe wnaeth sylweddoli efallai fod Cerys yn cynnig dim ond mwy na sŵn. En: Thanks to his quiet resolve, he realized maybe Cerys was offering more than just noise. Cy: Efallai bod perthynas. En: Perhaps there was a connection. Cy: Wrth i'r eira ddechrau disgyn yn drwm dros y dirwedd, roedd y ddau yn ysu am gysgod mewn cwm cuddiedig o goed derw hen. En: As the snow began to fall heavily over the landscape, the two longed for shelter in a hidden grove of ancient oak trees. Cy: "Mae rhaid ni aros," meddai Cerys a'i llygaid yn fflachio golau. En: "We must stay," said Cerys, her eyes flashing with light. Cy: Roedd distawrwydd y cysgodfan yn cynnig lle i sgwrs ddwys. En: The silence of the shelter provided a place for deep conversation. Cy: Siaradodd Emyr am ei chwa am heddwch a sut y gallai awyrgylch Eryri ei ysbrydoli. En: Emyr spoke of his yearning for peace and how the atmosphere of Eryri could inspire him. Cy: "Fydd gwibio fel hyn am fywyd yn dysgu rhywbeth newydd," dywedodd. En: "Wandering like this through life teaches something new," he said. Cy: Gwnaeth Cerys synnu wrth ddarganfod bod Perthynas i Emyr yn fater o symlrwydd. En: Cerys was surprised to find that a relationship for Emyr was a matter of simplicity. Cy: "Rydw i bob tro yn rhedeg," wnaeth Cerys ifi ddychwelyd i edrych ar y gwintrydd oedd ar ei ffordd. En: "I'm always running," said Cerys, returning to look at the wintry scene ahead. Cy: "Efallai bydd yn helpu i gymseddu. En: "Perhaps it will help to settle." Cy: "Gyda'r un cysyniad, croesodd eu profiadau. En: With the same understanding, their experiences intersected. Cy: Wrth i'r eira dawel oddi ar, cerddodd nhw o'r cysgod dim ond gyda llawenydd. En: As the snow quietly cleared, they walked out of the shelter with nothing but joy. Cy: Cyn bo hir, roedd golygfeydd yr Eryri mawr yn amlwg o'i blaen, ac aeth y ddau ymlaen, gyda syniadau newydd am beth allai bywyd ddod. En: Soon enough, the great views of Eryri became clear before them, and the two moved forward with new ideas about what life might bring. Cy: Yn eu cysylltiad newydd, derbyniwyd Emyr ac Cerys y ffaith bod bywyd yn gorfod gynnwys cyfeillgarwch ac iachawdwriaeth o heddwch a chwmni.

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: 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.
