Tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig

Unread post by treaclemine »

Halo. Ciamar a tha sibh an-diugh?

Tha glè bheagan Gàidhlig agam!

Tha mi ag ionnsachadh Gàidhlig. Tha mi à Sasainn, agus chan eil mi Albannach. Ach tha mi a' dol gu Gleann Dail, an t-Eilean Sgitheanach.

Tha mi donn, agus mòr - ach chan eil reamhar :-)

Tha mi sgith an-diugh.

Welcome again

One says "Chan e Albannach a th' annam" - you have to use a different structure with nouns.

Ironically, I got to starting to grasp that bit in the book not long after I posted. I didn't get taught enough English grammar at a young age to instinctively understand what parts of speech need bi and which need is.

dòchas = hope

deagh = good == math?

turas = trip == cuairt?

Anyhow, I know it will be fabulous as I've been before, and I have good friends there. :-)

English doesn't make that distinction, but you're right, it helps a lot when you've been taught grammar in your native language.

Tha sin a' ciallachadh "Where do you stay/live in England? Are you working now?" (and actually it should be "Càit a' bheil thu a' fuireach ann an Sasainn? A bheil thu ag obair an-dràsda?)

ann am Birmingham

ann an always goes with the sound that follows, so you have ann am when the next sound is made with your lips, e.g. p, b, f, v, m

'S e "Birmingham" a' Gh`aidhlig air "Birmingham"
[bloody computer - no auto-accents]
Sa Bhruimis, 's e "Brum" nach e?
Chan eil ainmean s`onraichte G`aidhlig air `aiteachan an ann Sasainn ach "Lunnainn", "An Caisteal Nuadh" is "Cathair Luail" Seadh, "Bearuig".
