Fòram na Gàidhlig

You could say: gèam cluich mas fhìor - role-playing game Bidh mi a' cluich gèam a-nochd ris an canar..... Bidh mi a' cluich gèam a-nochd air a bheil.... - I'm playing a game called ....tonight. Tapadh leat :) I also seem to have posted in the wrong thread.. meant to post in the 'dè tha thu a' dèana...

Bidh mi a' cluicheadh an geama a-noch ri dàibh. 'S e 'Burning Wheel' a th'ann I'll be playing a game tonight with friends. It's called 'Burning Wheel'. Hopefully my Gaelic came out correctly. How would I also say "I'm playing a game called ... tonight"? I tried looking on faclair.com, but ...

Tapadh leat!

I think I might have been the one asking about it, or at least remember seeing it mentioned.

Bha mi an-dè a' dol gu an oifis puist agus am banca agus am bùth grosaireachd. Dè a Gàidhlig air "running errands"? Yesterday I went to the post office, the bank, and the grocery store. How do you say "running errands" in Gaelic? When listing a group of items, can I leave out the...

Tha an sneachd air falbh an-seo. Tha an-diugh fuar is an-dè fuar. The snow is gone. Today is cold, yesterday was cold. Is that the right way to use "is", or is my wording awkward? How would I say "also", as in "yesterday was cold also"? How would I word "I hope it ...

Bha a' ghealach glè glè bhreagha a-raoir.
The moon was very very beautiful last night

Is gealach the right word? I looked on http://www.faclair.com but there were more words than just that one for "moon".

Bh' an-dè grianach agus breagha ach beagan fuar.
Yesterday was sunny and beatiful but a little cold

Am I right in thinking that bha would more or less drop the 'a' in speech next to an-?

Tha i fuar ach brèagha sa mhadainn an-diugh.
It's cold but beautiful this morning.

Is that the right way to word that? I saw someone else on this thread using that construction.

I had wondered about that. My copy of "Teach yourself Gaelic" says that the mh can go to a "w" sound, but it doesn't specify how or when.

Tapadh leibh!

What's the correct way to pronouce "mhn"? I've heard Dòmhnall in some audio files I have pronounced somewhat like dò-ll or dò-all. Why is the n silent in there? Is it specific to the name, or is the 'mhn' combination always sort of skipped over?

Tha sinne beagan sneachda againn. againn = aig + sinn, so you don't need the sinne: Tha beagan sneachda againne Tapadh leibh! I'm still very new, this is helpful :) How would I say "It rained last night and snowed this morning. It will probably snow all day"? Is "Bha sneachd againn s...

Halò agus fàilte!

Hello and welcome!

A bheil mòran sneachda ann am Boston, Daenyth? Is there much snow in Boston, D.? Chan eil dona. Tha sinne beagan sneachda againn. It's not bad. We have a little snow. Hopefully that's correct.. How would I say "just", as in "It's just cold"? I thought the word for snow is sneach...

Tha i cho fuar

S'pose you could always try emailing Julie fhèin - tha mi a' creidsinn gu bheil i na ball de AbairThusa, m.e. 'S fheàrr leamsa Katie Tunstall, ach chan eil i a' seinn sa Ghàidhlig. Afraid I don't quite understand you yet... From a dictionary lookup, is the second part "I prefer Katie Tunstall,...
