I was sitting writing in Gaelic and tried to write the word runner. I realised I have no idea what it should be so I checked out how to form occupations from verbs or nouns. I am still none the wiser.

Ruithear
Ruitheadair
Fear/Bean ruith

Re: Occupations
All your attempts are correctly formed, it is then a question of which of these people actually use

Re: Occupations
So could any of the examples be used or is it a case of just learning the correct form for each occupation?

Re: Occupations
It's always better to choose the form that people are actually using. Knowing how to make these up is still useful though, in case you can't remember or haven't learned a particular piece of vocabulary yet
