Dw i’n ysgrifennu atoch… I am writing to you…
Sywch ar y ffaith ein bod wedi hepgor y rhagenw personol chi ar ôl atoch yn yr esiampl uchod.
Notice in the example above, that the personal pronoun chi has been left off the preposition atoch.
Mewn iaith ffurfiol, byddwn ni'n hepgor y rhagenwau personol - fi, ti, fe, hi, ni, chi, nhw– fel arfer, gan fod y terfyniadau'n ddigon i ddangos pa berson y byddwn ni'n ei olygu, e.e. 'at' ('ysgrifennu at berson').
In formal Welsh the personal pronouns - fi, ti, fe, hi, ni, chi, nhw– are usually omitted, as the endings are enough to show the person involved, e.g. ‘at’ (to write to a person).
