Fòram na Gàidhlig

Using the ann prep pronoun for something like nationality, you could have:

* 'S e Albannach a th' ann - He is Scottish
* 'S e Albannach a th' innte - She is Scottish
* 'S e Albannach a th' ann am Murchadh - Murdo is Scottish

BUT if I wanted to say "My wife is Scottish" the answer at first glance is:

* S e Albannach a th' ann mo bhean

However, I'm sure this isn't correct as I've read that ann + mo combine to form nam. If so, how does that work with the above copula i.e. what is "My wife is Scottish"?

you have the right idea but just forgot that they fuse together
a tha 'nam bhean
a tha 'nad bhean
a tha 'na bhean
a tha 'na bean
etc

Aidh, it was the fusing together bit I was unclear on i.e. wasn't sure how that would look, but I see what needs to be done:

'S e Albannach a tha 'nam charaid - My friend is Scottish
'S e Èireannach a tha 'nad bhean - Your wife is Irish
Chan e dotair a tha 'nam phiuthar - My sister isn't a doctor
etc

Tapadh leat.
