I'm currently designing my personal website. I just wrote the intro page in Gaidhlig too :) Hello, Welcome to my website. I’m Vinodh Rajan. I’m a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of St Andrews, Scotland. My research interests include scripts, handwriting analysis/modeling and natura...

I frequently see people using /thu/ to refer to others (in this forum and also other places). I find it kinda awkward to see /thu/ being used to refer to other persons (whom you don't know personally). Personally, I always tend to use /sibh/ to address people - given that, none of my acquaintances o...

वाह! "मातृ दिवस"... आपको तो शुद्ध हिन्दी आती है! मेरी से बहुत अच्छी है, बिना शक के! :D गैलिक बोलने-वाले भारतीय से मिलकर मुझे बड़ी खुशी हुई... आप कि हिंदी भी बहुत अच्छी है. इस तरह सरल हिंदी बोलनेवाली पश्चमी आदमि को मैं कभि नहीं देखा .. मुझे भी बहुत खुश हैं हिंदी बोलनेवाली अलपनह्क् को मिलकर...

माताओं के दिन के लिए! :) Chan eil Cànan Hindì gu leòr agam :roll: . Dh'ionnsaich mi Hindì 'o chionn faisg air deich bliadhnaichean. 'S urrainn dhomh ga tuigsinn agus ga leughadh, ach chan fhurasta dhomh a bhith a' sgrìobhadh (agus a' bruidhinn) ann an Hindì. Chan eil ach Hindì lapach agam a-nise :(...

Glè Innteanach ! The Indo-Gaelic connection spans more than just the one generation in my family. My mother, Anna Sheonaidh ‘ic Ghilleasbaig (nach maireann), wrote this piece for the year 2000 edition of An t-Uibhisteach (also no longer with us). Lifted from the pages of the magazine the pictures ar...

Wilsons-of-Oxford wrote:Cò as a tha thu? Is, literally, who are you from, and it stems from the use of patronymics and clans to identify people. That's how it was explained to me anyways.

But I suppose, the generic "Who are you ?" would be rendered as 'Cò (a) tha thu'.

Who are you ? - Cò a tha thu ? You knew her - Bha fhios agad oirre . Don't you know that ? - Nach eil fhios agad air sin ? I think he will come late tomorrow night - Cha chreid mi nach bi e a' tighinn ath-oidhche gu h-anmoch Did you go out with your mates again ? = An robh thu a' dol a-mach còmhla r...

Tha ball ùr againn à Anstruther - Màiread - a bheil thu eòlach oirre? Tha fhios agam air Màiread gu dearbh. 'S e mo 'class mate' a tha innte :) . Tha clas againn aig seachd uairen feasgar an-diugh ann an Cill Rìmhinn :D I know Màiread indeed. She is my class mate. We have a class at 7 PM today in S...

Does everybody understand te other language, even if the don't speak it? I'm a bit curious, I don't know how close the two languages are. They do. Its like.. whenever I speak to someone, and/or someone speaks to me the language is Telugu. Otherwise, the conversation goes on in Tamil :D Both belong ...

IMO there's nothing weird about Telugu & Tamil :) unless there's some cultural stuff I'm unaware of :D Telugu (my ethnic tongue) is a minority language in my state. My grandparents have the language. But they didn't it to my parents, who grew up speaking Tamil (the majority language). After I w...

Very briefly - "fòn", meaning "phone", is a Very Recent word in Gaelic, so its detailed behaviour is still somewhat idiosyncratic. While your "standard" Gaelic noun starting f<vowel>, when stuck in the tùiseal thabhartach (or prepositional case) after a preposition and...
