Conversation

Mark and Lisa are trying to find a flight for their holiday to Madrid, and are searching online for one that fits their busy schedule.

Mae Mark a Lisa yn ceisio dod o hyd i hedfaniad ar gyfer eu gwyliau i Fadrid, ac yn chwilio ar-lein am un sy'n cyd-fynd â'u hamserlen brysur.

We need to find a flight in the morning, but I can’t seem to find any available at the airport closest to us.

Mae angen i ni ddod o hyd i awyren yn y bore, ond dydw i ddim yn gallu dod o hyd i unrhyw un sydd ar gael yn y maes awyr agosaf atom ni.

Mark

That’s annoying. I’d rather not go to an airport further away.

Mae hynny'n boen. Byddai'n well gen i beidio â mynd i faes awyr ymhellach i ffwrdd.

Lisa

How about this flight at 1 o’clock?

Beth am yr hedfaniad hwn am 1 o'r gloch?

Mark

That’ll be too late. We’ve booked a walking tour in the afternoon and we won’t get there in time. Are you sure there are no flights in the morning?

Bydd hynny'n rhy hwyr. Rydyn ni wedi archebu taith gerdded yn y prynhawn ac ni fyddwn ni’n cyrraedd yno mewn pryd. Wyt ti’n siŵr nad oes unrhyw hedfaniadau yn y bore?

Lisa

Mark did another search for flights in the morning with no luck.

Gwnaeth Mark chwiliad arall am hedfaniadau yn y bore heb unrhyw lwc.

We could always reschedule the walking tour for later in the afternoon.

Gallem bob amser aildrefnu'r daith gerdded ar gyfer yn hwyrach yn y prynhawn.

Mark

That’s true. But we can’t leave it too late though – we’ve got a dinner reservation in the evening.

Mae hynny'n wir. Ond allwn ni ddim ei gadael hi'n rhy hwyr serch hynny - rydyn ni wedi archebu bwrdd ar gyfer swper gyda'r nos.

Lisa

Mark checked the booking they made for the walking tour, and clicked on “Change Booking.”

Gwiriodd Mark yr archeb a wnaethant ar gyfer y daith gerdded, a chlicio ar “Newid Archeb.”

There’s a slot available later in the afternoon, which means it’ll finish about half an hour before our dinner reservation.

Mae slot ar gael yn hwyrach yn y prynhawn, sy'n golygu y bydd yn gorffen tua hanner awr cyn ein harcheb swper.

Mark

Do you think that’ll give us enough time to get to the restaurant?

Wyt ti'n meddwl y bydd hynny'n rhoi digon o amser i ni gyrraedd y bwyty?

Lisa

It’ll be fine, Lisa. The restaurant is only a 15-minute walk from where the tour ends.

Paid poeni, Lisa. Mae'r bwyty ond 15 munud ar droed o'r man lle bydd y daith yn dod i ben.

Mark

I see, let’s do that then.

Rwy’n gweld, fe wnawn ni hynny, felly.

Lisa

Once Mark updated the booking for the walking tour, he checked the flights available in the afternoon.

Ar ôl i Mark ddiweddaru'r archeb ar gyfer y daith gerdded, edrychodd ar yr hedfaniadau a oedd ar gael yn y prynhawn.

The earliest flight is at 1 o’clock. Shall we book that one?

Mae'r hedfaniad cynharaf am 1 o'r gloch. Archebwn ni hwnnw?

Mark

Yeah, I think that’s the best flight available.

Ie, dwi'n meddwl mai dyna'r hedfaniad gorau sydd ar gael.

Lisa

Mark then clicked the option to book the flight, entering in their details. They then needed to choose their seats on the plane.

Yna, cliciodd Mark ar yr opsiwn i archebu'r hedfaniad, gan nodi eu manylion. Wedyn roedd angen iddyn nhw ddewis eu seddi ar yr awyren.

Can we sit near the front of the plane?

Gawn ni eistedd ger blaen yr awyren?

Lisa

Those seats are quite expensive to book; I think it’ll be better if we sat further back.

Mae'r seddi hynny'n eithaf drud i'w harchebu; rwy'n meddwl y bydd yn well pe baem yn eistedd ymhellach yn ôl.

Mark

I’d rather not sit too far back, otherwise it might take a while to get off the plane, especially if it’s busy.

Byddai'n well gen i beidio ag eistedd yn rhy bell yn ôl, neu fe allai gymryd amser i ddod oddi ar yr awyren, yn enwedig os yw'n brysur.

Lisa

I wouldn’t worry about that; we have enough time. How about these seats? They’re in the middle of the plane.

Paid â phoeni am hynny; mae gennym ni ddigon o amser. Beth am y seddi hyn? Maen nhw yng nghanol yr awyren.

Mark

Sure, let’s book those.

Iawn, fe archebwn ni’r rheini.

Lisa

With everything decided, Mark and Lisa could now go on their holiday.

Gyda phopeth wedi'i benderfynu, gallai Mark a Lisa fynd ar eu gwyliau nawr.
