Tapadh Leat Jason, had heard this a ton on big gaels don't cry and seen it in some social media and couldn't unearth its meaning this is neato :)

[@GaelicwithJason]

Ah, excellent to hear it's clearer now. 🙂

[@kendoclem]

Awesome vid again young Deusan 🙂

[@GaelicwithJason]

Tapadh leat! 🙂

[@JanVolz-Kelly]

Yeah! This video made "gu bheil" so much clearer and helpful. A little off topic but I could use clarification. I've noticed when talking of weather you use "i" ex: "tha i fuar an-diugh", I've also seen "e". Does it matter? Tha mi toilichte gu bheil mi toilichte an-diugh! Mòran taing 😀

[@GaelicwithJason]

Sgoinneil! If memory serves, using E for weather is part of the Lewis dialect. Other dialects favor the *i* instead. I don't know if it's much of a big deal, to be honest, but, you'll see and hear *i* very often. 🙂

Jason, am I just imagining it, or could I also have come across ' tha fios agam' for' I know'?

Hello how would i pronounce "Deas Gu Cath"

[@yudobo-zamurai7793]

I would have a question: why do you have to write "ag radh" for "saying"? I thought that "ag" had being used before a verb beginning with a vowel, which is not the case for the verb "radh"! (I am not sure whether my sentence is grammaticaly correct or not, my english is a little rusty!) 😆 Thanks anyway!

[@necromeme]

basically it used to be ‘ag’ everywhere (coming from ‘aig’) but most of the verbs starting with consonants lost the g sound (like ‘want to’ turning into ‘wanna’, it simplifies) making ‘a’. ‘ag radh’ flows together more than ‘ag fuireach’ so in some places the g stayed in front of the r. you can also see this in the dialectal verb ‘ag reic’ (to sell), and in some places ‘ag ràdh’ has been reanalysed as ‘a gràdh’. tldr: it’s a rare exception to a sound change hope this helps!

[@GaelicwithJason]

Tapadh leat, @necromeme! 👍🏻

[@timkmolloy]

Is it perhaps more 'proper' to use 'is gu bheil'? As in 'Tha mi a' smaoineachadh 's gu bheil e math'

[@GaelicwithJason]

With certain idioms, we would add in that extra 'is' but in most cases, we wouldn't need it. As far as I'm aware, at least. 🙂

[@adelejones3746]

I'm looking at other aspects of this as a conjunction, and I thought, that'll be the same as " I think that......" it seems that this translates as " cha chreid mi nach" and that the gu bheil isn't appropriate here...

[@GaelicwithJason]

Hi Adele. 🙂 In this lesson, we're not using that double negative kind of phrase. Here, we're keeping it simple: 'thinking' + 'that', which is *a' smaoineachadh gu bheil.* If we used *a' creidsinn* in this way, we would still use *gu bheil*: Tha mi a' creidsinn gu bheil...

[@adelejones3746]

@@GaelicwithJason sounds like a good phrase to have then " tha mi a chreidsinn gu bheil" diolch yn fawr iawn...
