    As a Scottish non-Gaelic speaker (working on this!) it’s interesting to see how our English usage has been shaped by Gaelic. For my ear, “I’m making the dinner” seems more natural than “I’m making dinner”. I have noticed similar remnants in your other videos which I have found extremely interesting. For example, it’s common to add a ‘repetitive confirmation’ at the end of a sentence. For example, “she’s happy, so she is”, which apparently is a Gaelic structure. Thank you for all your good work!

    There's a script form formulated so that each glyph represents the shape of the mouth, lips, and how the air is released. It was constructed to be able to write how the vocalisations sound, and even be able to share the accent

    I have a couple of questions and would be very grateful if you could explain :D The first is, I've been taught that "I like" is "Is toil leam" as opposed to " 'S toil leam." I'm assuming "Is" means something I'm not aware of? Secondly, when comparing "Tha mi Sgith" and "Tha fearg orm" why do we not say tiredness is on me like we say anger is on me? Thank you! You were the very first person I found that even spoke Gaelic when I wanted to start learning :D

    ‘S is just a shortened form of is, they’re the exact same word, and for the second point it’s simple, sgith is an adjective, therefore uses tha + pronoun, whereas fearg is a noun, so you say “I have anger on me”.

    Sgìth means exhausted from Skiing. It's shorthand, skiing can be very tiring, hence the need for tì.

    I know Gaelic treats one and two objects both with the singular (tha cù/ dà chù agam), but it's been unclear if that's true for pronouns as well -- for example calling two people "thu" vs "sibh", or two men "e" vs "iad". Can you clarify that a bit?

  • @GaelicwithJason

    @GaelicwithJason

    Жыл бұрын

    Ah, great point, Will. When talking about more than 1 thing, ie: two people, two dogs, we'd use the plural *iad*. In that respect, the pronouns follow the same pattern as we know in English. 🙂

    It is actually the dual form, which is identical to the singular for most nouns, but not all of them.

    great lesson My confusion comes with making statement on mi side but question on thu side. If you were making a statement on the side ( you have a dog) would you still use agam? Mythought is "Tha thu cù agam" but serious doubts are present

    Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂 Not quite; *agam* is only for 'I have.' Tha cù agam. = I have a dog. Chan eil cù agam. = I don't have a dog. A bheil cù agad? = Do you have a dog? A bheil cat agad? = Do you have a cat? We use *agad* for 'you have.' Does that make a bit clearer, a charaid?
