Fòram na Gàidhlig

Ach, bha mi ceàrr! Bidh i droch Disathairne is Latha na Sàbaid... sneachd!
But, I was wrong! It will be bad Saturday and Sunday... snow!

After work, I should go to the shops, but I don't know. It will be too nice an afternoon to go there!

Gàidhlig nach eil briste idir!
'S math a rinn thu, gu dearbh fhèin.

But you picked one sentence with a lot of non-standard or advanced language in it.

As dèidh na h-obrach = after (the) work
bu chòir dhomh a dhol
dha na bùithtean/bùithean/bùthan
Bidh am feasgar ro bhrèagha airson a dhol ann

Tha sneachd ann an-diugh ann am Boston, rud a tha annasach am bliadhna!
It's snowing in Boston today, a rare thing this year!

Tha mi a' coimhead a-mach air an uinneag, agus tha mi a' faicinn sneachd air an fheur, ach chan eil dad air an rathad fhathast. Chan eil i fuar gu leor.
I am looking out the window, and I see snow on the grass, but nothing on the road yet. It isn't cold enough.

Chuala mi aithisg air an reidio sa mhadainn an-diugh. Thuirt iad gum bi sia oirleach againn nuair a cuireas an stoirm stad.
I heard a report on the radio this morning. They said that we will have six inches when the storm stops.

Ceud taing, a' Fhaoileag,

Yes, I decided to try something and stretch myself - sort of giving myself enough rope to hang myself

Which I duly did!

Thank you so much for the corrections!
Very much appreciated

@ iolair:
Glè mhath!

Beagan ceartachaidh:

Madainn an-diùgh: you don't need 'sa'. (Same with 'feasgar an-diùgh')
sia òirlich - plural
nuair a bhios an stoirm seachad (cuir stad air = to stop something, to put a stop to it)

@Faoileag:

Mòran taing airson sin!
Thanks for that!

Bha amharas orm gun robh "stad" ceàrr an seo, cha robh mi cinnteach carson.
I suspected that "stad" was wrong here, but I was not sure why.

Co-dhiù, tha uisge ann, seach sneachd!
Anyhow, we are having rain instead of snow!

Tha i an t-uisge madainn an diùgh, bha tuil ann a chuireadh na h-earbaill às na h-eich, ach chan eil i uabhasach fuar.

It is raining this morning, rain that would put the tails of horses, but it is not terribly cold.

Feumaidh mi thoir taing do Highland Diary. Bha annas agam de "raining cats and dogs" anns an Gàidhlig.

I have to give thanks to Highland Diary. I was curious about "raining cats and dogs" in Gàidhlig.

I think it's best to learn the Gàidhlig saying rather than tr*nsl*t* the English.

Tha na làithean air a bhith (???) nas fhàide an-nis mar as urrainn dhomh solas an latha fhaicinn nuair a bhios mi a' dol dhan oifis sa mhadainn agus dhachaidh feasgar.
Tha sin dìreach sgoinneil!

The days became longer now so as I can see daylight when I go to the ofice in morning and home in evening.
It's really great!

Tha i blàth agus grianach an diugh!

It is warm and sunny today!

Is toil leam an abairt! Eich bhochd!

I like the expression! Poor horse!


Chan eil i blàth no grianach an-seo

It is neither warm nor sunny here


Tha an t-uisge ann - literally "is the rain in it"

an-diugh

Feumaidh mi taing a thoirt - word order gets switched around after "feumaidh mi" - you probably haven't learned that yet.

Latha math dhuibh,
Good day,

'S fior thoil leam "shèideadh e na h-adharacan de ghobhar", bhon dearbh blog.
I really like "it would blow the horns of a goat", from the same blog.

Bha an aimsir uabhasach brèagha an seo DiLuain agus DiMairt, mar shamhradh!
The weather was really beautiful here Monday and Tuesday, like summer!

Bha an seo cuideachd! Brèagha grianach ged a tha i air fàs beagan fuar is sgothach a-rithist an-diugh.

It was here as well! Beaufitul and sunny although it has grown a bit cold and cloudy again today.

Tha i teth agus bog an seo... 90F!
It's hot and humid here... 90F!

Tha iad ag radh gum bi i stoirmeil a-nochd, is tha mi an dòchas gum bi i nas fionnaire ás a dhéidh seo.
They say it will be stormy tonight, and I hope it will be cooler later on.

ag ràdh
às dèidh seo.

Bha an t-uisge ann an-raoir
it rained last night.

Bidh na tornadoes an seo a-nochd, 's dòcha... uh oh! Chan eil sin math, idir!
