Tha mi 'n dòchas gun robh Deireadh-sheachdain math agad. Bha i gu math teth ann an Alba. biggrin.gif

Uill, mar a thuirt mi, tha Gàidhlig glé dhoirbh.

Tha mi 'g aontachadh leat. Tha Gàidhlig glè dhoirbh...gu h-àraidh aig an toiseach. Ach anns an fharsaingeachd às dèidh beagan uine, tha i a' fas nas fhasa. Tha sin mo bheachd co-dhiù. Uill sin e ma-tha an-dràsda. Chi mi a dh' aiaithghearr thu. Slàn leat.

Did you have a good weekend CelticRose? biggrin.gif

Co Latha-Breith Sona Dhut , CelticRose!
Happy Birthday CelticRose. biggrin.gif
I'm not so sure you would use that exact expression to close a letter, but you could use any of these:-
Le meas - With regards/Yours faithfully
Is Mise le meas - Yours faithfully
Le spèis - With respect
Le dùrachd - Yours sincerly
Le deagh dhùrachd - With Best Wishes
Leis na beannachdan - With Blessings
le gach beannachd - With every Blessing
or
Le Gaol - With Love.

Co-dhiù (anyway), Tha mi gu math, tapadh leat.
Mar sin leibh an-dràsda. biggrin.gif

Cha chreid mi nach bi i ceart gu leòr. Chunnaic mi teachdaireachd leatha o chionn ghoirid air ' bhòrd eile. 'S dòcha gu bheil i trang a-rithist.

That should be:- Cor math, dè do chor fhèin?
'I'm in fine form, how's your form?'
Don't know if it was just a typo CelticRose. I make those kind of mistakes all the time, but i'm always glad if someone picks up on them. Hope you're not offended.
Faileas is ok i believe. I see her around on another board, so i guess she just hasn't got round to this one yet. Co dhiù...
Slàn leat. biggrin.gif

Uill halò a-rithist mo charaid. Chan eil adhbhar a bhith a' gearan, tapadh leat biggrin.gif Dè do naidheachd? Ciamar a tha do Ghàidhlig tighinn air adhart a-nis? Tha mi 'n dòchas gu bheil thu a' sgriobhadh -sa' Ghàidhlig cho tric 's as urrainn dhut. 'S àbhaist dhomh a bhith a' sgriobhadh rud beag a h-uile latha, Thug sin cuideachadh dhomh-sa gun teagamh.

Halo Cu Dubh, Wizardman and all!

Sorry I have not been active in this thread. I have read it and kept up with it though. I have not had time to study like I should. I have had other things on my mind. But I did mainly start this thread to help promote and continue the learning of the Gaidhlig and hope you all will be able to learn and encourage one another in the process. Hope others will come too. Thanks!

I wish I understood this.

I decided today that I would like to be able to alternate english and Gaelic verses in a few traditional songs as I am trying to put together an educational show with my band.


I will read more hear (pounds head and repeats) must study harder

Hallo a chàirdean!
Hello friends!

Ciamar a tha sibh a-nochd?
How are you all tonight?

Tha mi'n dochas gu bheil sibh gu math!
I hope that you are all well!

Hallo a Raven!
Hello Raven!

Tha na Gàidhlig glé dhoirbh ach tha i glé spòrs!
The Gaelic is diificult but it is fun!

Fàilte!
Welcome!

Hallo a Rosie a ghràidh!
Hello Rosie dear!

Tha mi toilichte gum bi thu a' sgrìobhadh an seo fhathast!
I am glad that you are still writign here!

Hallo Fhaileas! Tha mi toilichte gu bheil thu beò fhathast!
Hello Faileas! I am glad that you are still alive! smile.gif

A Chù, bithidh mi a' sgrìobhadh nuair a bhi tide agam!
Cu, I will be writing when I have time!

(I never was very good at chatting, so often I read without saying anything. I live a very boring life and often have nothing to talk about! wink.gif

Agus chan urrainn dhomh gu tric na bhitheadh mi ag iarraidh a ràdh anns a' Ghàidhlig a' sgrìobhadh,
And often I am not able to write what I would want to say in Gaelic,

agus cha toigh leam a bhi a' sgrìobhadh anns a' Bheurla!
and I don't like writing in English!)

(I am not at all sure of these last two sentences!)

Tha mi 'g iarraidh ionnsachadh am feadag.
I want to learn the (tin) whistle.

Fhuair mi leabhar 's teipichean aig an leabhar lann.
I got a book and tapes at the library.

Tha trì feadagan agam.
I have three whistles.

Tha mi'n dochas nach bi i (the whistle) ro dhoirbh dhomh!
I hope it will not be too hard for me!

Uill feumaidh mi falbh a-nis!
Well, I must go now!
