"amau" in context

Heb amau.

Without a doubt.

A2

Rwy'n amau'n fawr a yw'r cynllun ffermio cynaliadwy terfynol hwn yr hyn roedd pawb ei eisiau; mae'n debyg ei fod yn fwy o gyfaddawd, i gydnabod pwysau amser a mathau eraill o bwysau arno mae'n debyg.

I doubt very much if this final SFS is what everybody wanted; it probably was more of a compromise, recognising time pressures and probably other pressures brought to bear.

B2

Rwy'n amau y byddant yn ei weld fel ateb i bob dim, fel y byddai'r Dirprwy Brif Weinidog eisiau i ni ei gredu.

I doubt they will see it as the panacea for all things, as the Deputy First Minister would have us believe.

C1

Rwy'n amau nad oedd yr un tro pan oedd ei enw i lawr i siarad mewn dadl na fyddwn i wedi ei alw.

I doubt there was a single time when his name was down to speak in a debate that I would not have called him.

C1

Rwyf wedi clywed yr hyn rydych chi wedi'i ddweud, a dydw i ddim yn amau eich ymrwymiad i ddatganoli Ystad y Goron, ond mae'n rhaid i hyn ddigwydd ar frys, ac mae'n rhaid i ni weld gweithredu.

I’ve heard what you’ve said, and I don’t doubt your commitment to devolve the Crown Estate, but this must happen urgently, and we must see action.
