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

[GunChleoc]

Quick corrections.... let me know if you have any questions. I'm travelling, so not much time

Fhuair mi na stràcan

'S dòcha gum bi an t-sneachd ann a-nochd

Anns an àite far a bheil mi fhìn tha e blàth an-diugh. or: San àite ...

Tha e gu bhith seachd uairean

Tha sneachd gu bhith ann - it will snow

mì-mhodhail

bho Bhaltimore far a bheil...

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

Tha an t-aimsir blàth an seo an-diugh. Càite a bheil an t-side fuar? or: Tha i blàth...

A bheil mi ga ràdh gu ceart?

... Diciadain, nuair a bhios i fliuch fad an latha

[sr3nitygirl]

Mòran taing a-rithist a GhunChleoc.
Many thanks again, GunChleoc.

So I should have used the relative future (a bhios) with nuair... check

...bho Bhaltimore... (ack! silly mistake!).


Safe travels!

Madainn mhath, a h-uile duine. That i tioram a-rithist an seo.
Good morning everyone. It is dry again here.

Chan eil sneachd ann an seo fhathast gi ruige seo. Tha iongnatas orm a-nis. 'S àbhaist dhomh a bhith a' dèanamh "shoveling snow" anns a' ghearamdh!
There is still no snow here so far. This surprises me. Usually I shovel snow in the winter!

An fhirinn a radh, tha mi gle thoilichte leis a sin. Bha geamhradh an-uiridh doirbh, agus mar sin tha mi toilichte gu bheil e caran nas fhasa am bliadhna.
To tell the truth, I am happy with that. Winter last year was hard, so I am happy that it is somewhat easier this year.

[faoileag]

Glè mhath!

Beagan ceartachaidh:

a dh'innse na firinn.... to tell the truth
le sin ...

Bha an geamhradh...


Cum ort! Keep it up!

[Gràisg]

Bha geamhradh an-uiridh doirbh, agus mar sin tha mi toilichte gu bheil e caran nas fhasa am bliadhna.

'S ann mar sin a tha e comhla rinn. Am bliadhna,faodaidh tu sgrìob a ghabhail dhan bhaile gun a bhith tuiteam air an sìor-reòthadh. Cha mhor a h-uile duine ann an deagh shunnd leis an aimsir a-nis.

That's how it is with us. This year you can go for a stroll into town without coping over on the permafrost. Almost everyone is pleased with the weather now.

A bharrachd air sin, chithear beagan a bharrachd solais air an fheasgair.
On top of that there's a bit more light in the evenings.

Seadh, chaidh na laithean nas fhaide (???), get a tha e dorcha fhathast: bidh mi a' faicinn beagan a ghrian ach air deiridhean-seachdain no air saor-laithean.
Yes, the days became longer, though it's dark yet: I see sunshine only on weekends and holidays.

Tha mi mu chuairt air an domhan-leud agaibh, a Ghràisg!
I am roughly at your latitude

[iolair]

Latha math dhan a h-uile duine. Latha snog eile an-seo. Thathar an dùil gum fàs i nas miosa Diardaoin, le uisge trom agus gaoth.
Good day to everyone. Another nice day here. It is expected to get worse on Thursday, with heavy rain and wind.

Nuair a chaidh mi a-mach leis a' chù trath sa mhadainn an-diugh, dè chunnaic mi? Sneachd! Uill, beagan sneachda, mu mhillimeter.
When I went out with the dog early this morning, what did I see? Snow! Well, a little snow, about a millimeter.

[Broganta]

Tha an t-shide rappoch ann a nist air a Chladach a Tuath. Tha a' mhuir fiadhaich, leis a' ghaoith làidir air an uisge. Tha mi creidsinn gum bhi an t-sneachd ann fad an latha an diugh, ma dh'fhodaidh amarach cuideachd, ach nuair a bhios a' ghrian amach, cha eil cuimhne agam mu dheidhinn an stoirmeil seachad.

Beagan bheachdan is ceartachaidhean. Rinn sibh uile glè mhath! Tha mi trang a' dèanamh "catch-up" fhathast is gabhaibh mo leisgeul gu bheil mi goirid leotha. Leigibh fios dhomh ma tha ceist no beachd sam bith agaibh. No ma lorgas sibh mearachd anns na sgrìobh mi fhìn!

A few corrections and thoughts. You all did very well! I am still busy doing catch-up, so please excuse me if I'm short with them. Let me know if you have any questions or thougths. Or if you find a mistake in what I wrote!

Hi GC, saoilidh mi gu bheil "cha mhòr nach" ceart.
Seo na thog mi às an Fhaclair bheg.

cha mhór nach dàinig uimhir ás 's a thàinig ás na dhà aig feadhainn eile
almost as much came out of it as other people got out of two

cha mhór gun do dh'aithnich mi thu
I almost didn't recognise you

cha mhór nach d' fhuair mi greim air
I almost caught him

cha mhór nach do bhris orm
I almost broke down (emotionally)

cha mhór nach do rinn mi sin
I almost did that

[Thrissel]

I think you're both right. According to Colin Mark's dictionary:

cha mhòr nach = almost (when accompanied by a verb) (eg cha mhòr nach do bhris e an uinneag - he almost broke the window)

cha mhòr = almost (before any part of speech, including a verbal noun, but not a verb (eg cha mhòr a h-uile mionaid den latha - almost every minute of the day)

So, I suppose Tha cha mhòr a h-uile duine ann an deagh shunnd correct, because cha mhòr is here a part of the phrase cha mhòr a h-uile duine = almost everybody. But you could also say Cha mhòr nach robh a h-uile duine ann an deagh shunnd, linking cha mhòr nach to the verb bi.

I think there's a slight semantic nuance though.

[GunChleoc]

Yep, both cha mhòr and cha mhòr nach are correct, depending on which one you want to use

Abair latha dìreach àlainn an-diugh ann am Baile an Taighe Mhòir!
What a lovely day today in Baltimore!

Tha i beagan fuar, 's dòcha, ach grianach is bidh i nas blàithe feasgar.
It's a little cold, perhaps, but sunny and it will be warmer in the afternoon.

Bu toigh leam a bhith air saor-là an-diugh, ach feumaidh mi obair...
I would like to be on holiday today, but I have to work.

As dèidh obair, bu chòir dhomh a' dol dhan bùthan ach chan eil fhìos agam. Bidh i feasgar ro shnog a' dhol ann.
After work, I should go to the shops, but I don't know. It will be too nice an afternoon to go there!

Tha dùil agam ri droch aimsir a-màireach, ach bidh i nas fheàrr tron dheireadh-seachdain.
I am expecting bad weather tomorrow, but it will be better through the weekend.


Tha mi duilich airson na Gàidhlig briste!
