"dewis" in context

Mae'n ddrwg gennyf eich bod wedi dewis ei wneud yn ymateb gwleidyddiaeth plaid gan ein bod yn cefnogi'r cynllun Cymorth i Aros mewn gwirionedd; rydym eisiau annog pobl i wneud cais.

This is no criticism of ysgol Rhydywaun, but we must ask how many other parents in the Merthyr area would choose Welsh-medium education for their children if a secondary school were closer to home.

Mae angen inni gael gwared ar y rhwystrau hynny, fel arall bydd pobl yn dewis mynd am eu hail ddewis efallai, a allai fod yn addysg Saesneg i rai o'r teuluoedd hynny.

We need to remove those barriers, otherwise people will opt to maybe go for their second choice, which might be an English language education for some of those families.
