Fòram na Gàidhlig

As you may have heard, it's emerged this week that the Scots Language Wikipedia is mostly fake, being written in a bad eye-dialect of Scottish English by an American teenager. The Gàidhlig Wikipedia seems OK to me, but if anyone here's an active contributor to that I'd like to ask if vandalism is a ...

Chan eil Anndra ceart gu leòr. The speaker says KERT but if you click on the single word it is pronounced KERSHT, the latter being what I always heard my mother say, along with sagARSHT, etc Is there a syntactical/semantic reason for the change of pronounciation for this simple case or is it someth...

Speaking as a linguist, there is also the argument from failing to use the genitive in these circumstances being a sign of endangerment in the language, with younger speakers failing to exhibit it because it isn't found in English and they're not learning the language as thoroughly, so full revitali...

Tha mi ag iarraidh a barrachd leabhraichean a leughadh anns a' Ghàidhlig ach chan eil fhios agam mu leabhraichean a bu toil leam. Gabhaidh mi tlachd ann an leabhraichean ficsean saidheans agus mar sin a bheil fir anns a' Ghàidhlig? I want to read more books in Gaelic but I don't know what books I wo...

Tha mi mì-cinnteach mu nuair a theirear "agus" agus nuair a theirear "is". A bheil riaghailtean ann umpa?

I'm uncertain about when you say "agus" and when you say "is". Are there rules about these?

Tha mi ceart gu leòr, tha mi coma mu dheidhinn fuirich san taigh a chionn is gur h-e oileanach a th' annam agus tha mi a' fuireach còmhla rim phàrantan. I'm OK, I don't much care about staying at home because I'm a student and I live with my parents. Tha am Boris ag iarraidh oirnn tilleadh gu obair,...

Cha bhruidhinn mi anns a' Ghàidhlig gu tric a chionn is gun eil mi a' fuireach anns an deas Sasainn. Fuirichinn anns an tuath ach cha do reigheamaid air turas ach gu Dùn Phrìs is Gall-Ghaidhealaibh agus na Crìochan. Their mi na rudan a sgrìobh mi dhomh fhìn, ach cha bhruidinn mi ri duine sam bith a ...

Hate to necro a thread like this but there are a couple of additions I'd like to make. Firstly I've never much liked how the site seems to de-emphasise overt explanation of grammar - the web version hides these as "tips", while the mobile app (which, let's face it, is definitely the main a...

Halò a h-uile daoine. Is mise Iain agus tha mi fichead bliadhna a dh'aois. Tha mi ag ionnsachadh a' chànanachais anns an oilthigh Cambridge. Tha mi fhìn ag ionnsachadh na Gàidhlig (à leabhar) a chionn is gun toil leam a' chànan seo gu mòr. Tha mi ag iarraidh a' Ghàidhlig agam a leasachadh airson fao...
