Fòram na Gàidhlig

Tha agus mi!


Tha mi ag òl tì-deighe is a' ith mo dhìnnear - pasta le carran agus sailead-measan. Fìor bhlasta. Tha mi còcaire math.


I'm drinking iced tea and eating my dinner - pasta with shrimp and fruit salad. Yummy. I'm a good cook.

Tha trì làithean dheth agam bhon an-diugh, 's mar sin tha mi a' falbh a Sgìre Shizuoka, faisg air Beinn-teine Fuji.

I have three days off, starting today, so I'm going to Shizuoka Prefecture, near Mount Fuji.

Bidh mi-fhìn is caraid air aoigheachd aig taigh-òsta traidiseanta far am bheil tobair teth ann, (onsen, mar a chanas iad) 's bidh cothrom againn gar failceadh fhèin ann uair sam bith a thogras sinn!

A friend and I will be enjoying the hospitality at a traditional inn where there is a hot spring, and we will be able to bathe in it at any time we want.

Tha mi an dùil gun tig ath-bheòthachadh air ar n-anman is cridheachan ann an uisgeachan slànachail an toibre teth!

I expect to be revitalised in our bodies and soul in the healing waters of the onsen!
I expect to be revitalised

I'm in my bedroom on the PC listening to music (Peatbog Faeries). I'm on MSN.

Tha mi anns an t-seòmar-chadail agam air a' chompiùtar...

Mas math mo chuimhne, tha mi smaointinn gu bheil "t" a' cur bacadh air sèimheachadh.

If I remember correctly, I think that "t" blocks lenition.

Mas e breug bhuam e, 's e breug thugam e.

Cha bhi sèimheachadh le t no d ann an dèidh n.

t and d do not lenite after n.

Uill rugadh mi ann am Pàislig ach chaidh mo thogail pìos air falbh ann an Cill Bhearchain agus tha mi a-nis a' fuireach ann am Baile Iain. An e ionnsaich a rinn do charaid no an robh Gàidhlig aca bho thùs?

Well I was born in Paisley but brought up a distance away in Kilbarchan and I now live in Johnstone. Did your friend learn or did they have Gaelic from the word go?

Rugadh e ann am Pàislig cuideachd, ach bha a phàrantan às a' Ghaidhealtachd. 'S e Gàidhlig a bha anns a' chaid chànan aige. Bha e ag ràdh gun thòisich e Beurla a bruidhinn san sgoil agus dh'íonnsach e Albais bho a chàirdean ann am Pàislig. Ach an còmhnaidh bhruidhinn e Gàidhlig aig an taigh.


He was born in Paisley as well, but his parents were from the Highlands. His first language was Gàidhlig. He said that he started speaking English at school and he learned Scots from his friends in Paisley. But he always spoke Gàidhlig at home.

You can add "s"; t, d and s don't lenite after n

Gabh cheum mi 4 mìlean an-diugh. Dhèan mi mo obair-dachaig Gearmailtis. Anàs dèidh sin, bhruich mi dinnear - bùntatan, paidh is cearbachan. Bha i blasda. A-nis, tha mi cùm sùil air De a-nis agus a' bruidhinn air MSN le mo bana-charaid ... ann Gearmailtis!

I walked 4 miles today. I did my German homework. Then I cooked dinner - potatoes, pie and carrots. It was tasty. Now I'm watching De a-nis? and talking on MSN to my friend ... in German.

Math fhèin, dè an aois a tha e? Tha mo mhàthair à Leòdhas ach 's ann à Obar Dheathain a tha m' athar.

Great stuff, what age is he? My mother is from Lewis but my it's Aberdeen my dad's from.

Beagan ceartachaidh:
Rinn mi m' obair-dachaigh Gearmailtis

Rinn - Dèan is irregular
m' obair: drop the o before vowels

I think it would be better to say rinn mi an obair-dachaigh Gearmailtis agam.

Seo mo òran air Rapal:

Tha Gàidhlig bèo.
Tha ar canan bèo.
Tha sinn bèo.
Tha sinn bèo.

Thuirt iad 100 bliadhnna bho chian
'tha Gàidhlig doomed'
An robh?
Chan robh!

Thuirt iad 10 bliadhnna bho chian
'tha Gàidhlig doomed'
An robh?
Chan robh!

Tuirt iad a-nis bho chian
'tha Gàidhlig doomed'
Bheil i?
Chan eil!

Èibh do Gàidhlig.
Èibh i a-nis.
Èibh 'tha Gàidhlig bèo'.
Èibh i àrd!

Which I think means:

Gaelic is alive
Our language is alive
We are alive
We are alive

a 100 years ago they said
Gaelic is doomed
is it?
no!

10 years ago they said
Gaelic is doomed
is it?
no!

Now they say
Gaelic is doomed
Is it?
No!

Shout your Gaelic
Shout it now
Shout 'Gaelic is alive'
Shout it loud

Measraich mi foad i òran punc mhath...
I think it might make quite a good punk song...

SEO AR CEÒL!
SEO AR CÀNAN!

THA I BEÒ!
CHAN EIL I MARBH!

Bha me a’ rannsaichadh sa mhadainn. An dèigh sgioblachadh mi a’gharaids tha mi a’dol dhan t-ionad-eacarsaich feasgar.

I was studying this morning. After I tidy up the garage, I'm going to the gym this afternoon.

An toigh leat Gearmailtis? ‘S fìor thoigh leam i! Dh’ionnsach mi i san sgoil cuideachd, agus fheum mi i san t-oilthigh nauir a bha mi a’ rannsaichadh feallsanach ‘s diadhachd. Tha Gearmailtis fheallsanachail-diadhachail glè dhoirbh!!!

Do you like German? I love it! I learned it in school too, and I used it at the university when I was studying philosophy and theology. Philosophical-theological German is very difficult!!!

Bha e na bu sine na mi, agus mar sin bhiodh e 52 no 53 a-nise, saoil mi. B' e Foy MacGriogair a tha air (bha "Foy" an fhar-aimn aige), agus bha e na neach-ciùil mar mhi-fhìn. Choinnich mi e nauir a bha mi a’ dol dhan t-Oilthigh de Naomh Thòmas ann an Houston anns a’ bhliadhna 1993, ach ghlauis e a dh’Eabhraig Nuadh o chionn naoi bliadhna.

He was older than me, and so he would be 52 or 53 now, I think. His name was Foy MacGregor ("Foy" was his nickname), and he was a musician like myself. I met him when I was going to the University of St Thomas in Houston in 1993, but he moved to New York about nine years ago.

S' toigh leam Gearmailtis. Bha leasan Gearmailtis agam an-diugh ... bha e glè ùidheil. Tha mi a'dol a Gearmail le mo sgoil am Foghar. Tha mi dèanadh Gearmailtis air GSCE.

I like German. I had a lesson today ... it was very interesting. I am going to Germany with my school in the Autumn. I am doing German for GCSE.
