Talu is the common verb for paying money in Welsh. Use it with objects like 'talu'r bil' (pay the bill) or with the preposition 'am' to mean 'pay for' (talu am y pryd = pay for the meal). Conjugate normally (Rwy'n talu = I'm paying; Wnaethoch chi dalu? = Did you pay?). 'Gwario' (to spend) and 'ad-dalu' (to repay) are related verbs but have slightly different meanings.
