Re: Cat (Cait?) sìth pronunciation

The learngaelic.scot online dictionary has many pronunciations. Here is cat-sìthe (the definition sounds a bit like your cat!). I hope the link works but you can also just enter the words. https://learngaelic.scot/dictionary/index.jsp?abairt=cat-sithe&slang=both&wholeword=false Once you are ...

Faclair Beag question

Wondering if Faclair Beag is down today. I haven't been able to access it since yesterday evening. I realize the problem might be that I'm in Minnesota (US) and there is something else wrong between here and Europe. But it's such a good resource! Just thought I would check -- thank you. Valerie

Re: Lingua.guru beta test learning resources

Well -- that was fun! I did the whole table - in one go - not one preposition at a time - and it really showed up my knowledge gaps. Also I left the slider positioned in the middle. Looks like everything works, except I got this error message for e+aig. I entered aige - but it was noted wrong. So I ...

Re: bhitheas vs bhios and bithidh vs bidh

Regarding dependent and independent verb forms --- If you have a copy of Scottish Gaelic in 12 Weeks (Roibeard O Maolalaigh) there are several very helpful explanations of independent and dependent forms and tables showing the forms for the verbs being discussed: page 36, #27a Independent and depend...
