Ar lafar, bydd y rhan fwyaf o bobl yn dweud 'Licwn i' yn hytrach na 'Byddwn i'n lico' i olygu 'I would like'. Yr un modd, byddan nhw'n dweud 'Gallwn i' yn lle 'Byddwn i'n gallu' i olygu 'I could'. Gyda'r mwyafrif o ferfau eraill, fodd bynnag, byddan nhw'n dweud rhywbeth fel 'Byddwn i'n deall' i olygu 'I would understand', er enghraifft.
Most people use the ‘short way’ below rather than the ‘long way’ with ‘lico/hoffi’ and ‘gallu’ in speech. Most of the other verbs use the ‘long way’.
