Fòram na Gàidhlig

Taing, tha thu ceart! Chan eil an loidhne cùil den gàirdean sa chùlaibh a' gluasad mòran bho far a bheil i a' ceangal ris an t-aodann. Bu chòir dhi gluasad sìos.

Sgrìobh mi e ann an na nòtaichean agam airson version eile. Agus fhuair mi facal ùr, buaidh-astair. Taing a-rithist!

Tha e ag obair, tha mi a' smaoineachadh.

Dè ur beachd?

Taing, a GhunChleoc! Chuir mi a' ceist air Twitter cuideachd. Thuirt cuideigin an sin gum biodh iad ag ràdh 'solas geana'. Rinn mi version/draft le “solas geana” agus a-nis, is urrainn dhomh fear a dhèanamh le trum cuideachd. Cuiridh mi GIF air an seo nuair I figure out how.

Tha an ealain àlainn!

Halò a h-uile duine! Tha ceist agam. Ciamar a chanas sibh 'mood' sa Ghàidhlig, mar 'mood lighting'? Chi mi Trum, Triom, Gleus, Gean agus Fonn anns na faclairean. Chan eil fios agam dè am fear as fheàrr a chleachdadh! Tha mi a' sgrìobhadh còmhradh airson cartùn. Seo na th' agam a-nis: Harley: Dè tha ...

A bheil a' fuileachadh ceàrr? I had considered a' dòrtadh, and in fact, wrote a draft of the poem with it, but I liked the flowing sound of a' fuileachadh. It is more of a seep than a spurt (like a' dòrtadh), nach eil? If that's not too gruesome a thing to say. :) If a' fuileachadh is wrong though t...

After all, boats "go under" in English too, and it's a complete verb. "The boat went under the sea" wouldn't have any clear meaning in English. The Gaelic phrase works the same. I think I try to prime my brain to think 'these languages are different ' so I'm not too hung up on d...

fodha is correct. When there is no subject apply the pronoun to, they default to the masculine form: leis, ris, fodha, etc. a' dol fodha is the usual way to say "sinking". Oh good, I got something right! I probably saw the construction on DASG or somewhere because it's not in really in my...

Great! Thank you. :D With this sentence, I'm trying to communicate the concept of sunk. But after some searching, I think Gàidhlig has a more roundabout way of expressing it than English. So for English, I wrote: The black stone sunk in the green pond. And in Gàidhlig, I originally wrote: Chaidh a’ ...

Mìle taing, a h-uile duine! Bha agam ri smaoineachadh mu dheidhinn seo beagan. Tha mi a' smaoineachadh (from what faoileag and Niall beag wrote) gum bu chòir dhomh lèirsinn a chleachdadh. Mar sin: an t-sùil gheal fhathast gun lèirsinn. Ach s' toil leamsa 'fhathast dall'. Agus 'an t-sùil neo-fhaicsin...

Halò a h-uile duine! :D I'm hoping you won't mind helping me with a little stumbling block. So some background information. Thug mi a' chiad bliadhna bhon AGA, ach às dèidh sin tha mi ag ionnsachadh air mo cheann fhìn còmhla ri caraidean. I play at poetry in English. I wouldn't call myself a poet by...
