Mòran taing a' Ghunchleog.

Thank you for the words, and to everyone else with the vocab.
I'll keep posting in here, and I've got a wee book with phrases that folk help me out with e.g ''earlier'', and hopefully continue to improve.

Great site this, and thanks.

Tha mi a' sealltain air an Rugby an-dràsda.

Alba 6 - 3 Àstralia an-diugh

Chan eil fios agam cùin sinn (beat them) last time, must have been years and years ago!

Mon Scotland!

Bha mi ag ithe lite madainn an-diugh.

An-drasd tha mi ag eisteach ri cheòl roimhe dhomh dol dhan chlas air leth uair. Tha agam ri mòran obair a chriochnachadh feasgar an diugh agus chan eil mi a faireachdainn cho math mu dheidhinn...

An e uisge-beatha math a bh' ann co-dhiù?

Crown Royal- uisge beatha Canadach. Math gu leòr, ach gu abhaisteach s'fhearr leam leann.

Bheil sibh a bruidhinn mu rugby no ball coise? Cha robh fios am gun robh maitse eadar-nàiseanta ann an t-seachdainn seo chaidh airson ball coise.

Bha geam rugbaidh eadar-nàiseanta ann eadar Astràilia 's Alba an t-seachdain seo. Rinn Alba a' chùis oirnn.

(Tha an fhirinn ann, tha mise coma co-dhiu).

There was an international game of rugby this week between Australia and Scotland. Scotland beat us.

The truth is that I couldn't care less who won.

Bha mi glè trang am seachdain, agus tha mise sgìth an-dràsta.

I was very busy this week, and I am tired now.

Tha mi ag siopadòireacht air-loidhne! (Is toigh leam teoclaidean :-)

I am shopping online! (I like chocolates :-)

The connection with that last bit is that it's often easier to buy vegan chocolates online!

Tràth (seo madainn), bha mi a còcaireachd.

Tha mi a-stigh an-dràsta, agus tha mi a' bruidhinn ri an cat.

Earlier (this morning), I was cooking.

I am at home now, and I am talking to the cat.

Dè a' Ghàidhlig air, "fussing", "making a fuss of"?

Tha mi airson botal leanna fhosgladh a dh'aithghearr. Thàinig an cùmhnant obrach agam gu crìch an-diugh, ach fhuair mi fear ùr, agus... ciamar an canar "indefinite" san t-seagh seo sa Ghàidhlig?

Gonna open a bottle of beer soon. Got a new (& indefinite) contract of employment for the one terminating today.

Chan eil fios agam ach chanainn-sa meal do naidheachd! $\:D/$

I don't know but I'd say congratulations

@treaclemine:

A bheil Gàidhlig aig do chat?

Does your cat speak Gaelic?

Beagan ceartachadh:

Bha mi glè thrang an seachdain seo

glè lenites

Gaelic for a shop is bùth, not siopa. I don't know if there's a Gaelic word for shopping as such, but you could always say tha mi a' ceannach stuth - I'm buying stuff

a' còcaireachd - you will find later on that the little apostrophe is important

ris a' chat.

Mòran taing a charaid!

Hmm - is that a Welsh word that's crept in? I don't think I made it up ...

Glè mhath! Bha mi a' ceannaich, agus bha mi a' còcaireachd agus tha mi ag ithe!

Very good! I was shopping, and I was cooking and I am eating.

Please tell ... what is the secret of the apostrophe?

GunChleoc wrote:ris a' chat.

That means 'fussing the cat'? Tapadh leibh!
