Ciamar a tha an t-sìde / How's the weather?

[CelticSpice]

Uill, bha e fuar..ach tha e car blàth a-nis. Carson a tha e cho caochlaideach?

Well, it was cold..but now it's somewhat warm. Why is it so fickle?

[iolair]

a ChelticSpice:

Dìreach! 'S e sin an dearbh rud an seo! Latha fuar, latha blàth. latha fuar ...
Exactly! It's the same thing here! A cold day, a warm day, a cold day ...

Thathar ag radh gum bi an t-uisge ann feasgar an-diugh.
They said that we will will have rain this afternoon.

[Wilsons-of-Oxford]

Tha i grianach ann Yorktown an dràsda ach bhiodh e sneachda a-nochd.

It is sunny in Yorktown now, but it should snow tonight.

Ciamar a chanas sibh "It might snow tonight" ann an Gàdhlig?

How would you say ... in Gàidhlig?

[Fear na coille]

Ciamar a chanas sibh "It might snow tonight" ann an Gàdhlig?

How would you say ... in Gàidhlig?

An e " 'S do\cha gu bhi sneachd ann a-nochd" ?

Ann a a\ite far a bheil mi fhin tha e bla\th an-diugh.

Is it " perhaps it will snow tonight" ?

In the place where I am it is warm today.

[Fear na coille]

I just got my accent marks
Fhuair mi an stràcan

An e'' 'S dòcha gu bhi sneachd ann a-nochd'' ?

Is it '' perhaps it will snow tonight'' ?

Ann an àite far a bheil mi fhìn tha e blàth an-diugh.

In the place where I am it is warm today.

[AlasdairBochd]

Close
gu bhi - almost, nearly
m.e. Tha e gu bhi seachd uairean - it is almost 7 o'clock

gum bi - that will be
m.e. 'S dòcha gum bi sneachd ann a-nochd - Perhaps it will snow tonight
word-for-word It is possible that snow will be in it tonight note the conjunction gum/ that, is compulsory in Gaelic although it is often optional in English.

[Fear na coille]

Ah gum bi = that there will be.
nach bi = that there won't be.

Tha eagal orm nach bi Santa a' tighinn a-nochd.
'S e balach mi-mhodhaill a th' annad!

I'm afraid that Santa won't be coming tonight.
You're a bad boy!

[iolair]

Bha i uabhasach fuar sa mhadainn an-diugh. Bha agam ri mo cota-geamhraidh a chur orm mu dheireadh thall!

It was really cold this morning. I finally needed to put on my winter coat!

[sr3nitygirl]

Madainn mhath a h-uile duine bho Baltimore càit' a bheil i fuar an-diugh.
Good morning from Baltimore where it's cold today

Bha i nas blàithe eadar Nolliag is Là na Bliadhna Ùire, ach a-nis tha i air ais chun na h-àbhaist - fuar!
it was warmer between Christmas and New Years Day, but now it's back to normal - cold!

Uill, OK, chan eil an-diugh nas fhuaire na' n-dè!
Well, OK, today isn't as cold as yesterday

I'm pretty certain I've messed up here!

[caiptean]

Tha i glè fhuar seo san Stàitean Aonaichte an-diugh!

It's very cold here in the United States Today!

[Gràisg]

Madainn mhath a chàirdean, chan eil e fuar idir ann an Inbhir Narann an-diugh, 8C agus mise air mo dhòigh glan leis.
Morning friends, it isn't cold at all in nairn today , 8C and I'm totally delighted with that.

càit' a bheil i fuar an-diugh.

'S e "far a bheil" a dhith ort aig teas meadhann seantains. Cleachd "càit" ma tha thu a' cur ceist.

It's "far a bheil" you need in the heart of a sentains. Use "càit" if asking a question.

chan eil an-diugh nas fhuaire na' n-dè!

Dh'fhaodadh tu a radh cuideachd/ you could also say, "chan eil e cho fuar an diugh sa bha e an dè"

A-nis seo Samhlaidh feumail dhut/ a useful metaphor for you:
" Cho fuar ris a’ phuinnsean" - as cold as the poison/ brass monkey weather/ really cold

Seo tuilleadh samhlaidhean/ here's more metaphors Tha feadhainn dhiubh a-mach air an aimsir. ( 'S ann air an taobh cli den dhuilleag ud a gheibhear Gaidhlig, chan eil feum agad an fheadhainn Gaeilge ionnsachadh)

Some of them describe the weather. (the ones on the left are Gaelic - no need to learn any of the Gaeilge on the right)

[sr3nitygirl]

A Ghràisg, ceud taing!

[CelticSpice]

Tha i blàth...

It is warm...

[Wilsons-of-Oxford]

Tha i an-aimsir blàth seo an diugh. Càite bheil am t-side fuar?

It is unseasonable warm here today. Where is the cold weather?

A bheil mi aig abair ei ceart?

Am I saying it right?

[sr3nitygirl]

Madainn mhath bho Baltimore, far a bheil i fuar a-rithist, ach tha i grianach!
Good morning from Baltimore, where it's cold again, but it is sunny!

Tha dùil agam ri droch aimsir Diciadain, nuair am bidh i fliuch fad an latha, ach bidh Diardaoin is Dihaoine nas fheàrr!
I expect bad weather on Wednesday, when it will be wet all day, but Thursday and Friday will be better!.
