Lenition question

Unread post by iolair »

Feasgar math dhuibh,

Tha ceist agam.

Do you say "anns an taigh-beag" or "anns an taigh-bheag"?

Does the rule that stops "t" from leniting carry down the line?

The rule only carries down the line if subsequent words end in 'n' otherwise lenition where possible.

Moran taing airson ur cuideachaidh!

An latha eile bha mi a' bruidhinn ris an chu agam. (I know it's sounds corny, but that's how I practice) Bha an cu a' lorg mo bhean oir toirt mo bhean briosgaidean dhan chu gu tric. Bha mi airson a dh'innse dhi gu bheil Mamaidh anns an taigh bheag an-drasta.

ann plus adverb plus relative future plus etc

Halò a Ghràisg,

Mòran taing.

Feumaidh mi aideachadh nach urrainn don cù againne cluintinn fhathast sa latha an-diugh! Tha i 16 bliadhna a dh'aois, agus dh'fhàs i bodhar o chionn ghoirid.

Tha mi a' smaoineachadh gur ann bodhar a tha mo bhean airson a bhith uaireannan :D
