sefyll in context

Roedd hi'n sefyll yng nghanol yr ystafell.

She was standing in the middle of the room.

Ond, dro at ôl tro, rydyn ni'n clywed bod pryderon o ran y risg i ddiogelwch personol yn rhywbeth sy'n atal pobl rhag sefyll neu sy'n arwain at gynghorwyr yn peidio ailsefyll mewn etholiad.

But, time and again, we hear that concerns regarding the risk to personal safety is something that deters people from standing or that deters councillors from seeking re-election.

Mae'n peri pryder i mi, y twf mewn trais a bygythiadau tuag at ein cynrychiolwyr etholedig, ac mae hyn yn ddi-os yn atal llawer o bobl rhag sefyll.

It worries me, the growth in violence and intimidation that is levelled at our elected representatives, and this no doubt puts off a lot of people from standing.

Felly, yn sicr, mae angen inni weld symud, ac mae angen inni weld Ysgrifennydd Gwladol Cymru yn sefyll dros Gymru go iawn, ac yn deall rhai o'r pethau sy'n heriol iawn yma yng Nghymru ar hyn o bryd.

So, surely, we need to see movement and we need to see the Secretary of State for Wales actually standing up for Wales, and also understanding some of the things that are proving really challenging here in Wales now.

Dyna pam, boed yn Gadeirydd y pwyllgor ai peidio, boed yn Aelod o'r Senedd ai peidio, y byddaf bob amser yn sefyll o blaid y teuluoedd sydd wedi dioddef profedigaeth ac a gollodd anwyliaid yn ystod y pandemig.

That's why, committee Chair or not, Senedd Member or not, I will always stand up for those bereaved families who lost loved ones in the pandemic.
