math math vs glè mhath
Posted: Thu Nov 07, 2019 4:39 pm
I am seeing math math meaning very good in some examples. I would have expected glè mhath. I have also seen mòr mòr.
I wonder if this is a bit like English where we would use 'big big' when talking to a very young person. e.g. "Look baby Calum! See the big big lorry"; or to quote a well-known confectionery advert "I like the fried eggs because you can make a big big sandwich". However, in the example I have, it is two adults speaking to each other, which suggests that my theory is wrong.
So... would math math be better than glè mhath , the other way around, or just a different way of saying the same thing?
