Fòram na Gàidhlig

Hello everyone, long time no see. I am going through some bibliographical notes and keep coming across the abbreviation 'deas.' like in the below example: See ‘Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna’ (deas. le Fred MacAmhlaidh, 1995) p. 58. I know that 'le' shows authorship (like 'by') but what does 'deas.' mean in...

Chan eil móran Gàidhlig aig Cill Rìmhinn, ach 's e àite glé mhath a th' ann. Mholainn dhut a thadhail.

'S toil leam a bhith a' leughadh leabhar eachdraidh leis cupa ti agus briosgaidean. I like to read history books with a cup of tea and biscuits. Cha toil leam cofaidh. I don't like coffee. 'S toil leam seo. :D Cha toil leam cofaidh, agus 's toil leam a bhith a'leughadh leabhar eachdraidh leis cupa ...

Glé mhath! 'S e mo chànan màthaireil a tha ann am Beurla. Chan eil Fraingis agam, gu mì-fhortanach! Tha mi a' sgrùdadh aig an t-oilthigh Chill Rìmhinn.

Thanks for your resonse! I'm glad you think it's something that could work for your show. My research isn't taking place until this summer, so it might be a better idea to wait until then, once I know better what I'm working with (and have actual research to talk about!).

Glé mhath. 'S e oileanach a th'annam; tha mi a' leughadh eachdraidh mheadhan-aoiseil.

I have a question about getting involved - when you talk about "producing your show" on the page, does this mean a recurring show with several episodes, or could it just be a one-time thing? I ask because I've been funded by the University of St Andrews to do research this summer with the ...

Fàilte, a Rain! Cò as à tha thu anns na Stàitean Aoniachte? Rugadh mi ann am Missouri, ach bha mi a' fuireach ann an Kansas, Georgia agus Wisconsin. Tha mo phàrantan à Nuadh Eabhrac. :) Welcome, Rain! Where are you from in the US? I was born in Missouri, but I lived in Kansas, Georgia and Wisconsin....

Fàilte! An toil leat a bhith ag obair anns a' bhùth-leabhraichean?

Welcome! Do you like working in the bookshop?

Fàilte! Tha mi toilichte gu bheil thu ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig nuair a tha thu ochdad bliadhna.

Hahaha barrachd cofaidh gu dearbh. Cha toil leam seòclaid idir - suidheachadh ceudna.

Hahaha more coffee indeed. I don't like chocolate at all - same situation.

How would I say "I don't like chocolate either"?

St John of the Rood seems a funny way to tr*nsl*t* the name of the saint who is more commonly called St John of the Cross. He was a Spanish mystic in the 16th century. However, his feast day is 14 December, not 14 September. It sounds like these two feasts have been erroneously combined on AFB. John...

Good luck with your novel!

'S toil leam tè cuideachd. Cha toil leam cofaidh idir.

I like tea too. I don't like coffee at all.
