Fòram na Gàidhlig

Dé an Ghàidhlig a th' air "market forces"? The market share would be miniscule -- it's not viable as a commercial venture.

We need a publically funded project if we want a monolingual dictionary -- like Faclair na Gàidhlig.

Ach dé tha seo?

Dé Gàidhlig air "ho-hum"?

ach THA faclair ann le mìneachadh sa ghàidhlig, agus tha e glè mhath - brigh nam facal; faclair ùr don bhùn-sgoil le richard cox

tha leabhraichean gràmar ann sa ghàidhlig cuideachd

Chan e sin ach a bharrachd, tòrr mòr chomhradh mun a' Ghàidhlig... anns a' Bheurla, bhiodh muinntir Quebecois làn nàire nan robh a leithid a' tachairt ann an Quebec ri thaobh Fraingis.

Dè tha sin a' cantainn mu cànan sam bith ma th' agad ri dhol gu cànan eile airson ciall?

Och... tha fhios 'm. But we must be accessible, you know. Who to? People who don't speak Gaelic. Ach mura bheil Gàidhlig aca, carson a bhiodh feum aca air faclair...?

Leis a sin bhitheadh gnothuichean a dol an rathaid eile, nach bitheadh.

Tha beatha agus cànain fada nas toinnte na chreideas tusa riamh. Bu chòir dhuinn sùil a thoirt air na nì dùthchannan eile an aghaidh bàs cànain, an fheadhainn a bha ann an suidheachadh car coltach 's a tha fada air thoiseach oirnn an-dràsta. Dùthaich nam Basgach mar eisimpleir.

Cha soirbhich sgeamannan a tha coimhead ma air cùlaibh pacaid smokes ach glé ainneamh, gu h-àraidh ma sheasas iad 'nan aonar.

Ach, gu mì fhortanach, dh'fheumadh tu sùil a thoirt air rannsachadh (an nochd am facal seo le rionnagan? ) le inntinn fhosgailte.

Not trying to be funny, but have you ever looked at one of your own posters?

Air neo na stuthan aig CNSA, na language plans... chan fhaca mi dad sa Ghàidhlig gu ruige seo...

na language plans...

Thuirt cuideigin rium, cuideigin aig an robh Gàidhlig bho thus nach robh i a' dèanamh bun no bàrr den Phlana aig Bord na Gàidhlig - sa Gàidhlig no anns a' Bheurla.
'S math gu bheil a leithid ann ach a bheil iad furasta a thuigsinn ann an cànain sam bith?'

So you're saying that your proposed Gaelic community isn't for Gaelic speakers, but for English speakers? That's quite an interesting development.

'Se tha soilleir nach robh thu riamh ag obair ameasg luchd na Gaidhlig leis nach ann mar sin a tha thu dhan trusadh.

Another typically snide comment there. We're not working for Gaelic so our opinions are worthless. So by extension, all your hours dedicated to Gaelic mean you're beyond criticism, don't they? This line is getting very tired and it's totally and utterly patronising. How to win friends and influence people it ain't.

(
You may be wondering why this is all in English. It's a mixture of reasons:

1) I've been improving and using my Italian recently (intensive study followed by true immersion) and I'm preparing for my next Spanish course, so the Gaelic isn't coming easily.

2) I'm emotionally and intellectually stimulated by the debate and my Gaelic isn't strong enough or quick enough to meet my desire. I do not want to be frustrated by not being able to say what I want to say -- that would make Gaelic appear to be an obstacle and would negatively affect my progress.

3) I've tried to engage in debates in Gaelic before, and I find that the weaknesses in my Gaelic put me at a disadvantage. If I am to enter into debate over something, I want to know I've not already lost before I begin.

chan fhàs do chuid gàidhlig airson shuidheachaidhean mar seo nas fheàrr mur an cleachd thu ach ann an suidheachaidhean eile i.
