Conversational Gaelic, For Beginners

Tha sin math gu leòr.
Fine by me.

Oh another thing: When you address someone, you have to do so in the vocative. You do that by putting a in front ot the name and leniting. Masculine nouns are also slenderised. So, that should be Tapadh leat, a Ghun!

Oh? Oops! Tapadh leat, a Gun!

Càite a bheil thu, a Ròis Cheiltich?
Where are you, Celtic Rose? (ròs is masculine)

A bheil thu gu math?
Are you well?

Hallo Gun! Tha mi duilich!
Hello Gun, I am sorry

I have not been studying my Gaelic. I have over 500 messages that I have been trying to catch up to, but it seems never ending! EEP!

Ciamar a tha leat?
How are you?

Tha mi gu math, just busy
I am fine, just busy.

Ros is masculine? Wow! I have been using Ros as the Scots Gaelic version of my name Rose. Hmmm....learn something every day.

De rinn leat an-diugh?
What did you do today?

Chi mi a-rithist leat!
I will see you again.

Rois

Beagan ceartachaidh:

Halò a Ghun (Vocative). And it's a bit strange calling me Gun only, because it means "without". It would be more natural to use my whole nick or GC.

Mo chreach-sa thàinig! (Literally: My ruin has come)

It's Ciamar a tha thu (how are you, not how are with you)

thu, not leat (see above)

I checked my names list, you're right! As a plant, it's masculine, but it's also a feminine name. You see, we all learn from each other

I had added the i for the vocative, you'd still sign "Ròs" in any case. You use the vocative to address people. So, I could say:

'S e Ròs Ceilteach an t-ainm a th'ort. Ciamar a tha thu, a Ròs Cheilteach?
Your name is CR. How are you, CR?

Feminine vocative doesn't slenderize, but it lenites, and in both cases you add the vocative particle a.

Bha mi rud beag trang cuideachd. An-raoir, bha mi anns an t-seòmar còmhraidh Gàidhlig ùr. Bha e math dha-rìribh!
I was a bit busy too, last night I was in the new Gaelic Chat Room. It was great!
