Duolingo phrases :)
Seall! Tha bonaid agus drathais orm
Look! I have a bonnet and underpants on
I am going to make it my life's goal to use this at some point in the future

Re: Duolingo phrases :)

Hope you have something else on too!
Bliadhna Mhath Ùr dhut!

Tha mi ag ithe snèap, tha mi cho toilichte!
I am eating a turnip, I am so happy.
Takes all sorts I s'pose.

Re: Duolingo phrases :)
Seall, tha mo thòn reòite.
Look, my buttocks are frozen.
I can understand having frozen buttocks, especially 'ann an Alba' , but asking someone to look at them? Unless it's a doctor maybe.

Re: Duolingo phrases :)
Just trying to make learning fun, therefore memorable - not everyone's sense of humour, admittedly!
But you have now used it / written it / thought about it / told others about it, so you have thereby increased your chance of learning useful vocab, even if likely to be re-used in different contexts.

Re: Duolingo phrases :)
Tha sibh ceart, faoileag
You are right, faoileag.
I wasn't meaning to disparage Duolino or anyone who has contributed to it, humour is a great tool to use. Trouble is whenever I see the phrase 'Mo thòn' I get Shane McGowan's voice stuck in my head for the next few hours or to use another duolingo phrase:
Eadar mo chluas agus mo chluas eile
Between my ear and my other ear

Re: Duolingo phrases :)
Tha gu dearbh, Gun Chleoc!
'tha mi a' goid bonaid agus IRN BRU'
'I am stealing a bonnet and IRN BRU'
Sounds like someone has drunk too much IRN BRU (also known as mad juice) already.
Tha mi ag òl cus
Actually, how would I say too much of something?

Re: Duolingo phrases :)
cus + noun in the genitive, or cus + dhen + noun in the dative.
I ate too much cake - Dh'ith mi cus cèice
I ate too much of that cake - Dh'ith mi cus dhen chèic sin
I ate too much cake - Dh'ith mi cus cèice
