Re: sìon vs. dad
Hey all, I'm a bit confused as to which "anything" I should use when. Sìon or Dad? Does it depend on tense? Mood? Or is it just personal preference? Tapadh leibh! No difference...they all mean the same thing. Many of the varieties "càil, dad, sian, etc." tended to be focused on ...

Re: I'm curious
I got to thinking in the car today, why do people say "an t-ainm a th' orm" as opposed to "m' ainm, d' ainm, etc." ? Why is it Dè an t-ainm a th' ort instead of Dè d' ainm? Would that be incorrect grammatically speaking? Or is it just that no one says that, so it would be weird ...

Re: Indirect relative of "is" ?
Right, in these cases the indirect relative doesn't exist then. But it does exist after "càit" though (one says càit a bheil, not càit a tha) ; it might be a solution then to find the indirect relatives: Where will you open the door? Càit am fosgail thu??? an doras? Where do you like eati...

Re: Pronunciation of laigh/nigh/ruith in past & present tens
Hi, I had past covered in my class last week. My Gaelic teacher (from Harris) said there is a slight difference between in the pronunciation of the following verbs, even though they are spelt same in past and present tense: laigh, nigh, ruith If I heard correctly, /l/,/n/,/r/ were all dental and ve...

Re: Thu/Sibh in Gaelic
I can provide a very practical, personal example. Even though I generally use "thu" with nearly every Gaelic speaker I meet, I continue to say "sibh" to a lovely cailleach (old lady) who is actually an instructor -- even though I know her by name. For me, the issue also includes ...
