The usual way of saying that you're sitting would be "tha mi nam shuidhe" = "I am in my (state of) sitting"DomhnallDorcha wrote:tha mi a' suidh
Not quite sure what you're trying to say there...DomhnallDorcha wrote:ach gum bi e cluich math tha mi an docas.

Re: Ciamar a tha an t-sìde / How's the weather?
A Mhairc, mòran taing airson nan ceartachaidhean uile!
Ceartachadh no dhà bhuamsa:
Airson http://www.foramnagaidhlig.net/foram/vi ... start=1005:
Tha mi ann an Wrocław sa / anns a' Phòlainn an-dràsta. - Wrocław goes without the article
Tha latha soilleir, glè bhlàth, glè thioram is dona ann an Wrocław an-diugh
ann am Birmingham - the final consonant in an/am is pronounced in the same place as the first consonant of the following word. In this case, with the lips.
gun chrìoch - without end
gun crìoch - to the border. Of course, if you're using formal speech, you will say chun na crìche.
Airson http://www.foramnagaidhlig.net/foram/vi ... start=1020:
Mòran taing, blàth - it will help your pronunciation if you are careful with the accents.
Tha oidhche fhuar agus thioram ann. - oidhche is feminine.
ann am Mhosgo
Bha an t-sneachd ann o chionn trì no ceithir làithean, ach dh'fhàs i fada na bu bhlàithe.
Airson http://www.foramnagaidhlig.net/foram/vi ... start=1035:
fliuch, glè fhliuch - switching the u and i here is a common typo, so watch out for that.
Bha cabhag orm agus cha b' urrainn dhomh...

Not necessarily - gun is ambiguous. It's more clear when it's followed by a lenitable consonant:"gun oifis" would mean "without an office".

Mòran taing!
Cha mhòr nach urrainn dhomh dad a sgrìobhadh gu ceart...
I am not able to write correct almost anything...

Chan eil sin fìor idir! Tha deagh Ghàidhlig agad agus chan eil mearachd no dhà ach nàdarra.
This is not true at all! You speak Gaelic well and a few mistakes are very natural to make.

Feasgar math a Mhairc agus a h-uile duine agus Tha i fliuch agus sgothach anns a Lunnainn an-diugh ach chan eil i ro fuar. Tha mi a' fuireach ag an taigh an-diugh.
Good afternoon Marc and everybody. It's wet and cloudy in London today but not too cold, I am staying at home today.

Re: Ciamar a tha an t-sìde / How's the weather?
London doesn't come with an article, so it's "ann an Lunainn".
Tha i cho fuar ris a' phuinnsean an-seo.
It's brass monkeys here.

Re: Ciamar a tha an t-sìde / How's the weather?
Cha chuala mi an abairt "brass monkeys" riamh!
Bha e fuar an-seo an-diùgh, an latha as fhuaire sa gheamhradh seo.
Ach ged a tha e fuar, tha an geamhradh air a bhith an ìre mhath tiorram thuige seo.
I've never heard the phrase "brass monkeys".
It was cold here today, the coldest day this winter.
But although it is cold, the winter has been rather dry so far.

I learn something new everyday!

That means literally that you raised your eyes / head.iolair wrote:Choimhead mi suas
If you mean that you looked something up in a reference resource, then you need rannsaich:

Re: Ciamar a tha an t-sìde / How's the weather?
Tapadh leat, a Mhairc! Feumaidh mi aideachadh gur e "guess" a bha "coimhead suas".
Agus mòran taing airson a' cheangail. Tha mi a' faicinn "rannsachadh facal san fhaclair".
Thanks. Marc. I have to admit that "coimhead suas" was a guess.
And thanks for the link. I see "look up a word in the dictionary".
Co-dhiù...
Tha e fuar a-rithist an-diugh, ach chan eil cho fuar 's a bha e an-dè. Tha e soillear, gun sgòth sam bith san speur.
Anyhow...
It is cold again today, but not as cold as yesterday. It is clear, without a cloud in the sky.
