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!

[@sassandsavvy007]

A bheil fearg agad orm? With your way of explaining structures, things are really getting clearer. Thank you, Jason, I am enjoying your happy teachings very much. 🙋🏻‍♀from Bavaria

It’s the wee extras that add intriguing connections - making it all clear, easy to recall ….. sgoinneil 🤗👍

I just started learning the gaidhlig recently and someone steered me to your videos. I ended up on this one because of the Eluveitie shirt. Lol.

[@josephatthecoop]

In lessons with Jason, funny stories are an emergent phenomenon.

[@KristiContemplates]

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

[@KristiContemplates]

Sharing because you might find it helpful with your lessons

[@gladeseason3462]

thank you so much for the video yet again Jason! I’m Scottish and trying my best to learn gàidhlig. your videos are a great big help for me. I’m also nonbinary so i really appreciate you addressing gender neutral pronouns.

[@paulineandrew5616]

Thanks Jason, clearly explained and The M & T tips are a good way to remember which is which.

[@nienja88]

Thank you Jason! This is very helpful

[@andrewoliver7095]

YES! The man is back again!

[@tamemeifyoucan]

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

[@jordanandrei4984]

‘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”.

thank you for your wonder humorful teaching! It makes learning enjoyable plus it enters the mind easily. In your greeting, what comes after "Madainn mhath _?__. I'm having a hard time hearing it.

[@GaelicwithJason]

Hello Jan! Nice to see you on here! 😀That last word is 'dhut,' which means 'to you': Madainn mhath dhut!

[@willcollings5681]

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]

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. 🙂

[@jordanandrei4984]

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

[@jacobalexandersmith619]

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

[@GaelicwithJason]

Makes sense to me. 🙂

[@jacobalexandersmith619]

@@GaelicwithJason great videos of course, thanks for the hard work and the wonderful enthusiasm.👍❤️👍

[@joejoenavy1244]

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

[@GaelicwithJason]

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?
