Well, yes...that's cos it's "Tha mi a' dèanamh na h-obrach".

but eh...wouldn't it just be easier to say "Tha mi ag obair" anyway?

Halò a h'uile an duine. Ciamar a tha sibh an-diugh?

Tha mi glè toilichte an-diugh.

Hello everybody. How are you today?

I am very happy today.

I am currently working my way through TYG and learning at a pace which I think is good for me. By the way, does anyone have a copy of the cassettes which accompany TYG because I cannot get them anywhere. I would be very grateful to anyone who can supply me with a copy of them.

Mar sin leibh an-dràsta agus mòran taing.

Bhàsaich iad [for you (pl)], Bhàsaich iad [for me], so Alba might be free.

Can somebody help me tr*nsl*t* the English parts of that into Gàidhlig ma 's e do thoil e?

Bhasaich iad dhuibh
Bhàsaich iad dhomh
So Alba might be free

I appreciate that this site is not a tr*nsl*t**n service but i need that last line translated for a wreath that will be layed at Falkirk

I had to buy a new edition of TYG because my original copy was falling to pieces. I'm sure there are countless others who have experienced this same problem. Anyway, the new edition comes with CDs, so I can let you have a copy of the tapes if you'll send me a private message with your mailing address.

[GunChleoc]

even worse is the people who say "tha mi a' dèanamh obrach"

Chan eil sin ag obrachadh

[neoni]

yeah 's e sin a bha mi ag ràdh, na daoine a bhios a' dol ro fhada 's ga chleachdadh nuair nach bu chòir

Hallo, a Chrisdein. Uill, chan eil adhbhar a bhith a' gearain. Bha an t-uisge ann sa' mhadainn an-diugh ach tha i brèagha a-nis. Bha mi a-muigh a' coiseachd còmhla ri mo chù. Tha cù agus cat againn.

Hi, Crisdean. Well, no reason to be complaining. It was raining this morning but it's fine now. I was outside walking with my dog. We have a dog and a cat.

@neoni: Bha mi ri fealla-dha - I was joking

A Chrisdein, tha mi gu math cuideachd, ach tha mi sgìth. Ciamar a tha thu fhèin?

Chris, I am also well, but I am tired. How are you yourself?

Halò GunChleoc. Tha mi gu math tapadh leat, ach tha mi sgìth cuideachd.

Hello GunChleoc. I am well thank you, but I am tired also. Am off to my bed in a few minutes as am up for work early ( 04:30 ).

Mar sin leat an-dràsta.

Gun gach nì, cion-fàth.

I am trying to say, 'for everything a reason'.

The above is too literal for me. There are far too many words for reason and i keep thinking maybe the word excuse should be used in this instance. Any thoughts?

[An Gobaire]

You could say.

Tha reusan ann airson gach nì. or maybe

Tha reusan aig gach nì would be better.

[chris-1961]

Halò a huile a duine. Ciamar a tha thu an-diugh?

'S mise Crìsdean agus tha mi fuireach ann an Penicuik.
