"ethol" in context
Roedd hwnnw'n brofiad rhyfedd i wleidydd newydd ei ethol fel fi, fu mod i'n cael fy nhrin fel cyd-filwr, i gael fy mharchu a'm trin â chynhesrwydd er gwaethaf ein gwahaniaethau gwleidyddol niferus ar faterion eraill.
It was an odd experience for a newly elected politician like myself to be treated as a sister-in-arms, to be shown respect and warmth despite our many political differences on other matters.
C1O'r eiliad y cefais i fy ethol, bron â bod, yn ôl yn 2018, fe gefais i gwmni Hefin, nid am ei fod yn gydwleidydd â minnau yn y lle hwn, ond am ei fod yn ffrind.
From almost the moment I was elected, back in 2018, I sought out Hefin's company, not because he was a fellow politician in this place, but because he was a friend.
B2Rwy'n credu bod y Bil hwn yn gosod cynsail cyfansoddiadol hynod bryderus, ac mewn maes sy'n eithaf hanfodol i iechyd ein democratiaeth—etholiadau Cymru, gan gynnwys ethol i'r sefydliad hwn.
I think that this Bill sets an incredibly worrying constitutional precedent, and in an area that is pretty essential to the health of our democracy—Welsh elections, including election to this institution.
