Nì mi a leithid uaireannan cuideachd, a Neis!

I'm doing the like sometimes too, Neas

Tha mi... bi ga lathadh. Tha e fuar an taobh.

I am shivering with cold. It is cold outside.

I'm relying on the dictionary for some vocabulary. I've been studying the -ing forms with my tyg dictionary, but it doesn't cover shivering.

And did I use the correct form of outside for this context.

The expression I found is "air chrith". Just take it as a fixed expression for now.

Tha mi air chrith le fuachd. Tha i fuar taobh a-muigh.

taobh just means "side", so you have to say which side.

Tha mi air chrith le fuachd. Tha i fuar taobh a-muigh. Tha mi an-drasta geansaidh blàth a chuir.

I am shivering with cold. It is cold outside. I just now put on a warm jumper.

I can't get at my books for reference now. I'm pretty sure I butchered that last sentence and possibly spelling of geansaidh. And technically it's a sweatshirt.

Tapadh leat.

Dh'obair mi trì laighean bho chion ach tha mir air a huile rud a cheannachadh agus tha mi fhathast a rannsachadh air airgead. An t-seachdainn seo chaidh, chaidh mi a mach do phartaidh no dhà còmhla ri doaine cho neonach 's a tha mise.

(Worked 3 days ago, finished, looking for dough again, went to a few parties last week)

'S e partaidhean matha a bh' annta gun teagamh!

They were good parties without doubt

Verbal noun for buying is ceannach or ceannachd

@clarsach: Tha mi air geansaidh blàth a chur orm an-dràsta

Have you had the Tha mi air... tense (perfect) yet? If not, maybe stick to:

Chuir mi geansaidh blàth orm an-dràsta

or if the past tense is too much for you:

Tha mi a' cur geansaidh blàth orm an-dràsta

'S e partaidhean matha a bh' annta gun teagamh!

Gu dearbh- ach mar thuairt mi, làn le chulaidhean-fhanaid.

Fhuair mi obair ann am factoraidh airson an samhradh agus thoisich mi Diardaoin. Mu dheireadh thall, tuilleadh airgead.

Ach gun teagamh, tha seo a ciallachadh nach bi mi air loidhne cho mòran.

(Like a said, full of freaks. Also, found job, won't be on as much).

Tha mi an dòchas gun dèan thu rudeigin a chòrdas riut deireadh-seachdaine!

I hope you'll do something you like this weekend!

Air shaor-laithean ann an Alba (an t-Eilean Bhòid a-rithist). Tha mi a'fuireach le mo sheanathair agus mo sheanmhathair. Tha mo cho-oghan a' tighinn suas bho Sassain an ceann-seachdain agus tha mi a' smaointinn gu bheil an taigh glè thrang. Chan eil obair-dhachaig neo obair-cùrsa agam gè-ta.

An-diugh, chaidh mi air an aiseag gu Caol an t-Snaimh anns an Earra-Ghaidheal. Bha e breagha.

On Holiday in Scotland (Isle of Bute again). Staying with grandparents, cousins coming at the weekend it'll be quite busy. Haven't got any coursework or homework though. Today I went on the ferry to Colintraive in Argyll.

Math fhèin, thàinig clann Dhùghaill às an eilean sin (no an t'àite mu chuairt), bu choir dhomhsa ga fhaicinn cuideachd aon là. Chan eil mise ach a deanamh obair (fhathast!) anns an aon fhactoraidh. Cò dhiu ceannaichidh mi an seachdainn seo agus bithidh seachdain saor no dhà agam roimhe dhomh dol air ais dhan oilthigh.

Cool, like to go there one day. Still working, will finish this week, a few weeks of vacation before uni.

Tha mi an dòchas gum bidh saor-laithean uabhasach math agaibh! Falbhaidh mi fhìn an deireadh-seachdaine seo

I hope you will have a great holiday! I'll leave myself this weekend

a-màireach a-nochd - oidhche a-màireach còmhla ri caraidean (tomorrow night with friends)
tha mi a' cluich golf - bidh mi a' cluich goilf ron àm ud (I'll play golf before that time)

Dè a tha a' dèanamh 'this weekend' fhein? - Dè tha thu fhèin a' dèanamh aig deireadh na seachdain?
