Ciamar a tha an t-sìde / How's the weather?

[iolair]

Mòran taing airson do chuideachadh! Bi mi a' feuchainn ri chleachdadh na sracan nas fheàrr.
Thanks for your help! I will try to use the accents better.

Chan eil i cho dona an-diugh. Tha i sgothach, ach chan eil i fuar. Fàsaidh i nas soilleir e tron latha, a-reir an reidio.
It is not bad today. It is cloudy, but not cold. It will get clearer through the day, according to the radio.

'S fheàrr leam a bhith a draibhead dhan obair air an latha tioram mar an-diugh.
I prefer driving to work on a dry day like today.

[poor_mouse]

Bidh mi a' feuchainn...
...nas soilleire...

A bheil sin ceart?

NB: Chan eil an "sgothach" idir anns an Fhaclair Bheag, ged a tha sin anns an Stòr-Dàta Briathrachais Gàidhlig gu dearbh. Tha sin glè neònach...

[iolair]

Luchag Bhochd: Mòran taing airson "bidh" seach "bi", agus "soilleire", ged a tha mi a' smaoineachadh gum b' e sin "typo". Bidh sin a ' tachairt bho am gu am
Poor mouse: Thanks for "bidh" instead of "bi", and "soilleire", although I think that was a typo. That happens from time to time

Chan eil sgothan 'sa speur an-dràsta. Tha i nas soilleire a-nis 's a bha i na bu thràithe. Agus dh' eirigh a' ghaoth mu mheadhan-latha.
There are no clouds in the sky now. It is clearer now than it was earlier. And the wind came up around mid-day.

Glè mhath! Dìreach dà rud: san speur, dh'èirigh

In the post before, you need a different structure:
Bidh mi a' feuchainn ri na sràcan a chleachdadh nas fheàrr.

agus sràcan a-rithist:
a-rèir an rèidio.

Cum ort!

[iolair]

GunChleoc: Tapadh leat airson an dà rud.
No Clock: Thanks for the two things.

Thoisich an latha fionnar, an uair sin dh' fhàs an aimsir na bu bhlàithe tron latha.
The day started cool, then the weather became warmer through the day.

Tha a' ghrian san speur fhathast, ged a tha e 5 feasgar, agus fàsaidh e dorch a dh' aithghearr.
The sun is still in the sky, although it is 5 in the aftenoon and it will get dark soon.

Lorg mi am facal "sgothach" anns an fhaclair "Colin Mark". Bha mi cinnteach gun cuala mi e ann an àite sam bith.
I found the word "sgothach" in Colin Mark's dictionary. I was sure I had heard it somewhere.

Tha i fuar an seo. Tha na duilleagan ag atharrachadh dath. Tha am foghar an seo.

It is cold here. The leaves are changing color. Fall is here.

[iolair]

'S e Là na Sàbaid a th' ann an-diugh, an uair sin dh' eirigh mi mu 7:30 sa mhadainn, agus bha an aimsir mu thràth caran blàth.
It is Sunday today, so I got up at 7:30 this morning, and the weather was already somewhat warm.

Bha sneachd ann an seo mu thràth am bliadhna, fiu' s mus do dh' atharraich na duilleagan. Tha sin gu math mi-aibhaisteach.
There was snow here already this year, even before the leaves changed. That is really unusual.

[faoileag]

Celtic Spice:
Not sure why, but I would find it more natural to say:

tha na duilleagan ag atharrachadh an dathan - the leaves are changing their colours
OR ..tha dathan nan duilleagan ag atharrachadh - the colours of the leaves are changing

iolair:
an uair sin = then
mar sin = therefore

mì = negative opposite prefix, e.g.
gu mì-fhortanach
mì-mhodhail

neo = neutral prefix
neo-fhoirmeil
> tha sin neo-àbhaisteach


Glè mhath, an dithis dhibh! - Well done, the two of you!

[iolair]

Faoileag: Mòran taing dhut! Thanks alot!

Bu choir dhomh a bhith eolach air an diofar eadar "an uair sin" agus "mar sin". Tha mi air cleachdadh an dà gu ceart roimhe.
I should know the difference between "an uair sin" and mar sin". I have used the two correctly before!

Cha do chleachd mi gu mì-fhortanach "gu neo-àbhaisteach" roimhe.
Unfortunately I have not used "gu neo-àbhaisteach" before.

'S ann gu neo-àbaisteach a tha sneachd ann san Dàmhair ann an seo.
It is unusual for it to snow in October here.

[iolair]

Dhùisg mi tràth sa mhadainn agus chuala mi aithris air an rèidio mun aimsir. A-rèir na h-aithris bidh i mar latha as t-Earrach an-diugh. Abair naidheachd!
I woke up early this morning and heard a report on the radio about the weather. According to the report it will be like a day in the spring today. What news!

Bha sneachd trom an seachdain sa chaidh anns an sgire againn, agus tha mòran de dhaoine gun dealain fhathast.
There was heavy snow in our area last week, and there are still a lot of people without power.

[GunChleoc]

Tha i uabhasach brèwagha an seo cuideachd.
It is very beautiful here too

Some spelling points:

dh'èirigh mi, mus do dh'atharraich na duilleagan: The dh' belongs to the word, because it's a form of lenition/sèimheachadh. So, no blank space required.

anns an, or short san

[iolair]

Mòran taing! Chan eil space eadar "dh'" agus am facal a leanas.
Thank you! no space between "dh'" and the word that follows.

Mus do dh'fhàg mi an taigh an-diugh, bha mi ag eisteachd rèidio airson greis. Thuirt iad gum bi latha brèagha eile againne an-diugh.
Before I left the house today, I listened to the radio for a while. They said that we will have another beautiful day today.

[CelticSpice]

Tha e blàth gu leòr an diugh. 68F. Tha an speur loinnreach agus tha an là grianach.

It is warm enough today. 68F. The sky is clear and the day is sunny.

[iolair]

Tha i grianach blàth an-dhiugh. Chan fhaca mi ach aon sgoth, fhad 's a bha a' dol dhan obair. Bhiodh e glè shnog, nam biodh a h-uile latha cho brèagha.
It is sunny and warm today. I only saw one cloud while I was going to work. It would be very nice if every day were so beautiful.

[CelticSpice]

Tha i grianach agus blàth an-diugh.

I'm pretty sure that an-diugh doesn't need to be lenited.

Tha i grianach an seo cuideachd.
It is sunny here as well.
