Fòram na Gàidhlig

Well, one of the best known MacLeans hereabouts is Roddy MacLean, writer and author of Litir-do-Luchd-Ionnsachaidh. He writes his name Ruairidh MacIlleathain.

Tha e mu fhichead mionaid gu naoi.

It's about twenty to nine. ( "fichead" takes the noun in the nominative singular.)

Bòrach ? Dè tha sin ?

Bòrach ? What's that ?

Am bi biadh Innsineach innteannach ? Saoliddh mi gu bheil sin a' crochadh air a' chòcaire.
