Dà cheist
Dà cheist
Tha dà cheist agamsa.
Ciamar a chanas mi "How many Gaels do you know" anns a' Ghàidhlig? Cò mheud Gàidheal...?
Agus chunnaic mi an gnàth seo, ach cha urrain dhomh cuimhneachad an ceart abairt. Bha sin mar: "tha mi toilichte coinneachad ribh" no rud mar sin. A bheil sin a' ciallachadh "nice to meet you"?
Tapadh leibh!

Re: Dà cheistean
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?akerbeltz wrote:Cò mheud Gàidheal a tha thu eòlach orra?How many Gaels do you know
Re: Dà cheist
-Cò mheud Gàidheal a tha thu eòlach orra? (no cò mheud Gàidheal a tha thu eòlach?) agus -Tha mi toilichte coinneachad ribh, ma-thà.
Mòran taing!
Mòran taing!

Re: Dà cheist
Well, yes and no. It's grammatical I guess but it suggests something else. It's not just a neutral question anymore (meaning that 's mise eòlach ort is not a grammatical sentence by itself, so the 's cannot be the copula, it must the the logical linking agus).Cò mheud Gaidheal 's tusa eòlach orra?
I would interpret this as a somewhat unidiomatic way of saying uiread a Ghàidheil 's tusa eòlach orra i.e. 'look, so many Gaels and you know them all'.

Re: Dà cheist
Agus dè mu dheidhinn "cia mheud"? A bheil sin airson rudan a-mhàin?

Re: Dà cheist
The differences between those are down to dialect (sorry, no pins for cia meud yet and cia mheud isn't that clear as a pattern yet but AFAIKT it's mostly southern)
co mheud
co meud
cia mheud
co mheud
