btw that gaidhlig phrase did not seem to make much sense ...

he had no gaidhlig and should not lose a word? Please enlighten us
In response to those who wished a translation of my gaelic sentence (I know this isn't history - but thought those who were interested would be more likely to see it here). I understand the reasoning behind closing the thread & if the moderator wishes to move this to the language forum, its fine with me.

Anyway... in response to Fuathas' question to Rainy

Quote:
A bheil Gaidhlig agaibhse fhein?
I said
Quote:
Cha robh de Gaidhlig aige na thogadh uimhir is facal!
which means in English "He had so little gaelic he couldn't recognize a word"

My spelling and/or grammer could be off from time to time, as my own gaelic is pretty sparse.
I check the spelling in MacBain's, but sometimes get my grammer mixed up.

I reckon it does belong here, really - where anyone reading the Jacobite thread will also find this one.

Thanks.

Thanks for this, SJ. Further proof of the troll-like nature of the poster known as Raigennnnnn-whatever?

Tapadh leat, SJ.


Don't feel bad about off grammar, is fheàrr Gàidhlig bhriste na Gàidhlig a chiste!

Well my motto being a beginner. Yay, in 3 weeks I can call myself intermediate... hehe.
