Fòram na Gàidhlig

Caite a bheil a h-uile duine? Cha chunnaic mi móran còmhraidhean as ùr.

Where is everyone? I haven't seen many conversations lately.

Na sguireamaidh ionnsaich!

Let's not stop learning.

Càit' a bheil a h-uile duine? Chan eil mi air mòran còmhraidh [no "mòran chomhraidhean"] fhaicinn o chionn ghoirid.

Na cuireamaid stad air ionnsachadh!

Dè na h-abairtean seo sa Bheurla?

Well, it's not an easy task. For instance, how would you tr*nsl*t* something like the following into Gaelic:-

He's dead from James's; let tìme strength was with you; Johnny is from Five alive! grab before you, do my day.

I mean, one or two I think I've got, but one or two are a mystery to me. And I am pretty good at English!

The second one, I think, is "May the force be with you": if I was putting it into Gaelic, I might try something like "Bitheadh an Neart agad/agaibh" (but I think "leat/leibh" would be OK there). The last one - I was having a bit of fun: what you've got would probably do for, e.g. "Go on, make may day", which is probably what you were thinking of. The other two - you've lust me.

I think he meant Nr Johnny 5 is alive - apart from bèo > beò, that one was fine

And I think à Sheumais > a Sheumas

The last one is supposed to be "Go ahead, make my day".

The second one, like you said is supposed to be "May the force be with you". I started to use agad, but I saw leat defined as 'with you'.

Akerbeltz got "Tha Seonaidh a Còig beò!"

In hind-sight if my goal was to prompt my fellow learners, rather than confuse, I should have put up English and suggested we come up with the Gaelic.

Is that, "Lets not put a stop to learning"?

Feumaidh mi cleachdadh

I need practice.

Yes it is

Guma biodh an neart leat!

In that case I'd suggest gum biodh a' chumhachd leat, neart is too physical here I feel, cumhachd is more abstract (think of the biblical uses of cumhachd such as uile-chumhachdach etc).

Tha sinne air làithean saora fhathast is chan fhaic sibh mi cus an-seo gus an till mi, tha an gobhar feumach air beagan fois is ìth

Chan eil mi thuigsinn. Ciod e?

I don't understand it. What is it?

Tha ciall agam...

My opinion is...

"We are one day free still and you don't see me too much here so that I return, a needy goat upon little peace and eat"

Akerbeltz's name and avatar signify a kind of little black goat:

and the poor goat is in need of a bit of rest and corn*, and we (allegedly) won't see much of him on here till he returns, as he's still on holiday.


(Not that I've noticed many signs of that.... )


*ioth, ìth?

Tha an ceart agad, Fhaoileig, ach bha mi airson *sìth a sgrìobhadh seach ìth

Dè a' Ghàidhlig air 'Freudian slip'?

Tha feum aige air làithean saora dha-rìribh!

He really needs a holiday
