chì, faic, faca, are all the same verb, it's one of the few irregular ones. Look in your grammar for independent - dependent forms.
Faic means "see!", seall means "look!", coimhead means "watch". Those are the most important seeing-verbs for now.

Tha mi a' tuigsinn an-dràsta, tha sin furasta ma-thà... mòran taing a-rithist!
Uill, tha i sgòthach a-nis ann an Valencia, agus tha sin rùd beag cunnartach oir 's e "Oidhche an Teine" a th' ann an-diugh. An oidhche as cudromaiche de "Las Fallas".
I understand now, it's easy then... thank you very much again!
Well, now it's cloudy in Valencia and that's a little bit dangerous because today is the "Night of the Fire". The most important night of "Las Fallas".

Tha i uisge an seo !
It's rainy here !
How can I say "in Paris" ? And I know that "uisge" is rain, but what is the tr*nsl*t**n of rainy please ?

Thuit corra bleideagan an seo, ach tha iad air an leaghadh mu thràth.
A few snowflakes fell here, but they have thawed already.
in Paris - ann am Paris
There are several words for "rainy", but the easiest thing is to use fliuch, which means "wet" generally: latha fliuch - wet/rainy day.
Tha uisge an seo means that it actually rains, and it's without the i because (1) "water/rain" in Gaelic is masculine => e and (2) it literally means "rain is here" (there is no verb "to rain/pleuvoir" in Gaelic), so there is no need for a pronoun at all.

Tha mi an dòchas gum bi e grianach ann am Paras a-màireach!
I hope it will be sunny in Paris tomorrow!

Dè bhios a' tachairt anns a' bhaile? Dè na 'Fallas'?
What will be happening in the town? What are the Fallas?
's e Oidhche an Teine / Oidhche nan Teintean a th' ann.... oidhche as cudromaiche.....

Tha i glè ghrianach an-diugh, ach tha i glè fhuar fhathast. Ach bha sinn èirigh na grèine bhrèagha againn madainn an-diugh.
It's very sunny today, but it's still very cold. But we had a pretty sunrise this morning.

Tha an t-uisge ann
Tha an t-uisge ann am Paras
Tha i fluich
Tha Paris grannda ge b' e fliuch no grianach
bha èirigh na grèine bhrèagha againn: againn = aig + sinn, so you don't need sinn twice.

Hmm... actually I find out I'm not certain how to say "it's raining here" as opposed to mere "it's raining" - "tha an t-uisge ann an seo" or "tha an t-uisge an seo" ? (I suppose I could get away with claiming I'm using ann an seo as the older, longer firm of an seo, but I don't want to get away, I want to get in, so: tha an t-uisge ann ann an seo or "tha an t-uisge an seo" ?)

Tha i gaothach agus sgòthach an-diugh. Ach tha i nas blàithe mu dheireadh thall! Bha mi agus mo bhràithrean agus mo pheathar a' cluich a-muigh.
It's windy and cloudy today. But it's finally warmer! Me and my brothers and sister were playing outside.
