Fòram na Gàidhlig

Bha mi a' cnuasachadh agus bha mi a' meòrachadh mu dheidhinn, a Luchag, and I concluded that the mistake we're doing is that we want Gaelic to be mathematically logical while Czech and Russian are not. Our Slavic double negatives "I won't go nowhere", "they won't never tell" and ...

Sorry GC, but I don't get it either. The article is about "ann" in the phrase "there is" and about its being used to put more emphasis to a sentence, but it doesn't say that when you omit it you switch the meaning to its opposite. It expressly says that both "tha cù fon bhòr...

Ay, but you forget that I reacted to Teddie's "Also, my teacher has never used the gaelic accents in class, so i'm not sure whether she is going to teach us them later (though i can't see a reason for this)." I wanted to tell him that there is a reason to learn accents in Gaelic, even thou...

I know dozens, nay hundreds, of native Czech speakers, young and old, who struggle with the intricacies of spelling stuff, never mind the relative phoneticity of the orthography and never mind they all had years of Czech lessons in school. (So I didn't mean to sound like I was smirking, my apologies...

ach chan eil teagamh nach eil gnothaichean nas dòchasaich na bha iad ann an 2002 Sin an double negative > positive, cf cha chreid mi gu bheil e mòr > tha e beag vs cha chreid mi nach eil e mòr > tha e mòr Tha diofar ann, shaoilinn. cha chreid mi (neg) + nach eil e mòr (neg) = tha mi a' creidsinn (p...

Tha am BBC (gu mì-fhortanach) a' toirt air falbh prògraman BBC Alba gu math sgiobalta. Gheibh thu prògraman na Beurla fad seachdain ann, saoilidh mi, ach chan fhaigh thu prògraman Gàidhlig no Cuimris ach air an latha fhèin uaireannan. Tha eagal orm gu bheil thu a' measgachadh dà rud - BBC Naidheach...

How many Gaels do you know

Cò mheud Gàidheal a tha thu eòlach orra?

Am faod an roimhear a dhol roimhe "cò mheud"? Tha mi a' ciallachadh, am biodh "Air cò mheud Gàidheal a tha thu eòlach?" ceart cuideachd?

Chanainnsa gur e an trioblaid gu bheil an soidhne ag ràdh "Inverness (Museum & Art Gallery)" sa Bheurla ach "(Inverness Museum) & (Art Gallery)" sa Ghàdhlig. Bu chòir dha a bhith "Taigh-tasgaidh & Gailearaidh Ealain Inbhir Nis" (no "Taigh-tasgaidh &...

Chan eil mi cinnteach nach eil coimhearsneachdan sna bailtean as motha mar Ghlaschu no Dùn Èideann a chleachdas na Pòlainnis mar chànan làitheil, co-dhiù chun na h-ìre a chleachdar a' Ghàdhlig ann an àiteachan eile. Tha a' Phòlannais aig aon dhuine sa cheud ann an Sasainn 's a' Chuimrigh agus ged na...

Eadar dà sgeul, tha na faclairean agam "glic" eadar-theangachadh mar an dà chuid "smart, clever" agus "wise". Nise, on a tha diofar mòr mòr eadar "smart/clever" agus "wise", a bheil buadhairean eile sa Ghàidhlig, feadhainn a nì an diofar seo? By the ...

Shaoilinn gur e taidhpo dhe (o? airson?) co-dhiù=at least, mar a tha cis an àite cìs ann.

Chuireadh e iongnadh orm mura biodh "gèidh" an dà chuid na bhuadhair agus na ainmear, mar a tha "co-sheòrsach" (leis an iar-leasachan "-ach") agus mar a tha "gay" sa Bheurla, oir chan eil e ach an aon fhacal san litreachas Ghàidhlig.
