"cyfaill" in context
Gyda thristwch mawr heddiw, felly, dwi’n gofyn i’r Senedd i godi nawr i gofio am ein cyfaill annwyl Hefin David.
With great sorrow today, I ask the Senedd to stand now to commemorate our dear friend Hefin David.
B2Bydd ei argymhellion ef yn cael eu gweithredu, ac mae Trafnidiaeth Cymru, yr oedd cynrychiolaeth mor dda yn angladd Hefin, yn ystyried enwi trên ar ôl ein cyfaill a'n cydweithiwr ni.
His recommendations will be implemented, and Transport for Wales, who were so well represented at Hefin's funeral, are looking at naming a train after our friend and colleague.
