Dè tha thu a' dèanamh? / What are you doing?

Oh, thoir mathanas do mi. Shmaointinn mi gun robh saor-là = fèill.
Oh, forgive me. I thought that saor-là = fèill.

TAIC translated saor-là as holiday.

Inntinneach, ach. Seo?

Interesting, however. This/These?

[poor_mouse]

Yes, that's it. "Assumption of Mary (Eastern Orthodox Church, a public holiday in the Republic of Macedonia, Serbia, and Georgia)", but not in Russia.

Chan eil mi cinnteach, ach tha mi den bheachd gur e ciall litireil do "saor-laithean" agus "laithean saora" a tha "days off". Ma dh'fheumas sinn ag obair cha bhi sin latha saor, am bi?

I'm not sure, but I think that "saor-laithean" and "laithean saora" literally mean "days off". If we must work, that is not a day off, is it?
(But it may be a holiday though.)

[GunChleoc]

Holiday has more than one meaning in English: 1. a religious celebration day ("holy day"), 2. a day off (e.g. "bank holiday"), 3. more than one day in a row off ("holidays").

Gàidhlig: 1. fèill, 2. latha saor, 3. saor-làithean or làithean saora

feumaidh sinne ag obair = we must at working. This doesn't work (pardon the pun ) What you want is this:

feumaidh sinne obair = we must work

[poor_mouse]

"Feumaidh sinn obair", gu dearbh!
Mòran taing!

So, "holiday" is good for all purposes.

Nach innis sibh am faod sinn "latha saor" a chleachdadh ma dh'fheumas sinn obair an latha sin? (As a "holy day" and not "day off")?

[GunChleoc]

Chan fhaod. latha saor = free day, so you're not working.

[poor_mouse]

Mòran taing, bha mi a' smaointinn nach fhaod agus tha mi cinnteach a-nis.

[GunChleoc]

Uill, tha fios agaibh dè tha mise a' dèanamh - a' cluich le geamannan JavaScript

You know what I'm doing - playing around with JavaScript games

Bha pian agam anns an mo chliabh. Bha e a' Ghreim. Uill, tha mi (being*) toilichte nach robh e sìon uabhasach dona.

I had a pain in my chest. It was Pleurisy. So, I am being happy that it was not something awfully bad.

An do chan mi e gu ceart?

Did I say it correctly?

* How would you say being? As in, "I'm being good" or "I'm being bad."

[poor_mouse]

'S bochd sin -- It's a pity!

"Tha mi tinn/toilichte" -- tha sin ceart, ach chan eil mi cinnteach mu dheidhinn "a' Gheim" agus "sìon" an-seo.

Tha mi den bheachd gum biodh "An tuirt mi sin gu creart?" ceart -- I think ... would be correct.

Chan eil fhios agam mu dheidhinn "being" an-seo... -- I don't know anything about "being" here (in this context).

[GunChleoc]

I don't think there is anything special for "being" in this context - "tha mi toilichte" will do the job.

[CelticSpice]

Glè mhath!

Great!

I got "a' Gheim" and "Sìon" from Lexilogos. Am Faclair Beag was on the fritz at the time.

And got it. I sometimes get confused about the 3 "say" words. Abair, Bruidhinn, agus Can.

Mòran taing, GunChleoc agus Poor Mouse.

[poor_mouse]

'S e do bheatha!

Tha mi an dòchas nach fhada gus am bi thu ann an deagh shlàinte!

I hope it won't be long untill you are in good health! (A bheil sin ceart sa' Bheurla?)

[CelticSpice]

Tha mi a' faireachdainn gu math a-nis. Ghabh mi mo a' chungaidh dheireannach dà làithean *a chionn.

I'm feeling well now. I took my last medicine two days ago.

* A chionn - Is it put in the correct place and used correctly?

Tapadh leat, a-rithist. Agus tha sin ceart ann a' Bheurla.

Thank you, again. And that is correct in English.

[poor_mouse]

Tha mi den bheachd gum biodh "o chionn dà latha" ceart.

I think "o chionn dà latha" would be correct.

Trì laithean, ach dà latha.

[CelticSpice]

Sin a' fuaimneachadh glè cheart. Tapadh leat, a' charaid.

That sounds very correct. Thank you, friend.
