Fòram na Gàidhlig

Bhiodh mi toilichte sin a dhèanamh.

I'd be happy to.

Bha e fuar agus fliuch ann an Sasainn an-diugh.

It was cold and wet in England today.

An-diugh, 's a' mhadainn bha e griannach.

Ach an-dràsta tha e glè fhuar agus sgòthach.

Today, in the morning it was sunny.

But now it is very cold, and cloudy.

(Dè a' Ghàidhlig air, "Very cold by English standards for November, that is ..."?)

tha i fuar agus turadh ann.

Tha e brèagha an-diugh. Tha e fuar ach grianach. Bha i uabhasach ceòthach Dihaoine.

It's lovely today. It's cold but sunny. It was awfully foggy on Friday.

Tha mi a' creidsinn gu bheil bidh .... ?

tha mi a' creidsinn gu bi .... ?

... e grianach, fuar agus tioram a-màireach.

I believe that it will be sunny, cold and dry tomorrow.

Tha mi a' creidsinn gum bi

Tha mi an Sasainn agus tha e fuar an-diugh, agus bha e glè fhuar an-dè.

Tha sneachd againn.

Tha i cho fuar

A bheil mòran sneachda ann am Boston, Daenyth?



Oops! Forgot to tr*nsl*t* - this is the bilingual section!

Is there much snow in Boston, D.?

Tha an t-uisge a th'ann an diugh. Chaid an sneachda gu lèir. Thuit mo bhean air an deigh aig nollaig agus bhris i a gàirdean. Mar sin tha mi toilichte gu bheil na sneachda air a' dol.

It is raining today. The snow has all gone. My wife fell on the ice at Christmas and broke her arm. So I am pleased that the snow has gone.

Chan eil dona. Tha sinne beagan sneachda againn.
It's not bad. We have a little snow.

Hopefully that's correct.. How would I say "just", as in "It's just cold"?

I thought the word for snow is sneachd? Is sneachda a plural form?

'sneachda' is the genitive form of 'sneachd' - which is what follows 'mòran' and 'beagan' - i.e a lot of snow/ a little of snow.

In this case, to stress the idea of 'only' (=only cold, not actually snowing), I would go for:

Chan eil e ach fuar ( - chan eil sneachd ann)

Otherwise 'dìreach' is often OK for 'just'.
Dìreach ann an tìde - just in time.

The snow has gone = Tha an sneachd air falbh (falbh = to leave, go away)

againn = aig + sinn, so you don't need the sinne:

Tha beagan sneachda againne



Chan eil an sneachd air falbh an-seo. Chuir e sneachd a-rithist an-dè.
The snow isn't gone here. It snowed again yesterday.

Tapadh leibh! I'm still very new, this is helpful

How would I say "It rained last night and snowed this morning. It will probably snow all day"?
Is "Bha sneachd againn sa mhatainn" correct for part of it?

What is "Chuir" here? "Fell"?

Thanks everyone for your help

That's correct, but it's sa mhadainn
It rained last night = Bha an t-uisge ann a-raoir

It will probably snow all day - I'm not 100% sure but I'd say: Thathar an dùil gum bi an t-sneachd ann fad an latha.

Thathar is an impersonal form of the verb bi. Thathar an dùil gum/gun... = one is expecting/it is expected that... not exactly beginner's grammar
