Fòram na Gàidhlig

Hi there,

Would anyone give me some words talking about love in Scotish Gaelic?
That would be great!
Thanks a lot

Feasgar math,

I'm a beginner in the language as well. I've not had such an opportunity to use the words of love in Gàidhlig, but from my basics..

Tha goal agam ort - I love you.
Tha gràdh agam dhut - I love you again, but I think it's more formal? Literally something like 'Love is at me, to you'.

I'm sure someone with a bit more than me, can help you. All the best.

(1) The correct spelling is gaol.

(2) AFAICT, gràdh is also used with the preposition air (roughly = on) and its derivates, so it would be tha gràdh agam ort as well.

(3) Apparently you're right, Colin Mark's dictionary says this:

note also that gaol is more intimate than gràdh and is usually reserved for romantic contexts, or particularly close family relationships

Does anyone know any poignant Scottish Gaidhlig wedding vows or poignant words for a loved one. Does anyone know how to say the name April or Kenny or Stephen?

Here's a list of names: http://www.akerbeltz.org/beagangaidhlig ... inmean.htm

If it's not on it, it probably doesn't exist as a Gaelic name.

Well, April is "An Giblean" - and a very popular month for weddings in the UK.
