Fòram na Gàidhlig

anns an t-samhradh, tha mi a' dol don eilean sgiathlaich airson mo oilthigh (Obar Dheathain). Tha oilthighan (universities? wasn't sure on the plural) eile a' dol cuideachd. A bheil daoine seo a' dol cuideachd?

In the summer, I am being sent to the Isle of Skye by my university (Aberdeen). Other universities are going as well. I wondered, is anyone from here going as well?

Oh dear TJ, what have you done wrong?

Skye: sin an t-Eilean Sgiathanach, bidh thu a' dol don Eilean Sgiathanach, 's dòcha gum bi thu a' cleachdadh Drochaid an Eilein Sgiathanaich. (that's Skye, you'll be going to Skye, maybes you'll be using the Skye Bridge).

My mum - mo mhàthair; for my mum - airson mo mhàthar
My dad - m' athair; for my dad - airson m' athar
For my university - airson m' oilthigh (with an extremely optional "e" on the end)

Plural of "oilthigh" is usually "oilthighean" (caol-ri-caol)
Is anyone - just "A bheil duine" would do, or "A bheil neach", but (short of adding "sam bith" = "at all" on the end) probably better "A bheil cuidegin", though that's really "somebody". Whatever, not "seo". "Is anyone from here going as well?" is probably best rendered as "A bheil duine sam bith bhon seo a' dol cuideachd?": "here" is usually "an seo" rather than just "seo".

oh no, 3 weeks holiday have taken their toll . I knew it wasn't right :L. Hence why I put the English.

Thuig mi a' Ghàidhlig agad co-dhiù

I understood your Gaelic anyway


Tha mi an dòchas gun còrd an eilean riut!

I hope you'll like the island
