neoni, I have gone through TYG, and am starting a second time through. I'm also using several resources on the internet.
Niall, I found "dèan dealbh" in the Gaelic-English dictionary as the entry for draw. So it appears to me they are saying the tr*nsl*t**n of 'draw' is 'dèan dealbh.'

bi aig/ have
I looked this up today. Is this correct usage:
Bi aig Sina falt fada. Jane has long hair.
Bi aig Thomais car ùr. Tom has a new car.
Also just as chan eil is the negative of tha, what would be the negative of bi aig? (How would I say so and so doesn't have such and such.)

Grammar questions from TYG
I'm on my second round through TYG, and hoping to really understand the grammar accurately and in-depth this time. It seems many others on this board are using the book, too, so I'm hoping we can help each other out. Chapter 2, do and a (to) are introduced. Are these words totally interchangeable, o...
