Am Faclair Beag says it doesn't change (i.e. you can lenite, but not slenderise), probably as it's a Gaelic rendering of a non-Gaelic name: Seoc /ʃɔxg/ fir. neo-ath . Jock But there does seem to be a genitive form of the name in use - Google throws up some reasonably reputable sources: an fhèineachd...

Mòran taing airson nan lèirmheasan seo - gu math feumail do luchd-ionnsachaidh!

And you may wish to add bòidheach to your complimentary repertoire. Lovely, pretty, graceful, bonnie, pleasing to the eye.

Google combinations for context and frequency, but check if sources look reliable.

Ceart gu leòr has also become the equivalent of the English "OK" or "alright", in all their meanings/nuances, often shortened to cgl in messages, Facebook posts etc. Chì mi aig 9m thu, cgl? Cgl! In our Gaelic-influenced Highland English people used to add "right enough"...

We don't do tr*ns on this forum (or we would be swamped, and we like to support professional practitioners), but this is actually a query about the origins of a place-name, so I'll give it a go. The notes in Ainmean Àite na h-Alba (Place-names of Scotland) are probably not very helpful to you in thi...

DON'T add ri to the "to" mix!!!!!!!!!!!! It has nothing to do with motion or direction. It covers an interface situation - you share a surface / space with someone, something, an activity. Learn it in phrases, or together with the verbs that usually "take" it. Stay clear of equa...

Basic principle: You can never tr*nsl*t* prepositions directly from one language to another. (Or much else, but particularly preps.) :-) Think of gu , as you have worked out, as approx up to, as far as, until , or as a waymarker in a journey. Whether you enter the place you reach is immaterial. Ver...

If you consult Am Faclair Beag itself, rather than LearnGaelic, you'll see that relative frequency of use / recognition by users is indicated (colour bars). In addition, if you click on the word itself, e.g. tuilleadh, you will see maps that show its distribution in Scotland and Nova Scotia. This is...

Aw, you could have had "Thanks for all the fish" if you hadn't been so fed up of sgadan...

Good try, and a correct grammatical sentence. :moladh: Cianalas is quite a strong word in Gaelic, a mixture of longing for and missing (a time, place, community etc) - used a lot by emigrant Gaels in America etc. Probably a bit too emotional for this context, unless you miss the seventies dreadfully...

Inntinneach! Cus ri cheartachadh ;-) ach seo rud no dhà. Too much to correct but here are a couple of things. Latha matha dhuibh uile. (do = to > dhuibh = to you pl.) toirt a-steach = put in, insert, submit. Wrong "introduce" - never just go for the first option in LearnGaelicDict - check ...

Ah!
Saying what you are:

'S e neach-ionnsachaidh a th' annam. ( I'm a learner - that's what I see myself as. It's a learner that's in me.)
or
Tha mi nam neach-ionnsachaidh. (I'm in my learner-mode - currently/temporarily a learner.)
