Mae hi'n DAL I FFWRDD o'r gwaith She's still off work.
O HYD also means still.
You will notice that DAL I comes before the verb-noun and O HYD follows the verb-noun. Dw i'n dal i ddysgu - I'm still learning. Dw i'n dysgu o hyd - I'm still learning.
If we put O HYD in front of the verb-noun it means always Dw i o hyd yn dysgu I'm always learning.
Not too confusing for you I hope.

Do i - I'll come Doi di - You'll come Daw e/hi - He/She'll come Down ni - We'll come Dewch chi - You'll come Dôn nhw - They'll come
