[@tracym1973]

Brilliant, thanks for this. We have named our new puppy Breagha - glad to hear a native speaker confirming we are pronouncing it right :)

[@mlynn9684]

Thank you for doing this. I think we made add 'I love you' to the end of 'Forever and always' in the tattoo design. My husband practiced the words from this video with me. Fun!

[@Laurenrhiannon]

I hope it helps to hear me say it, I wanted to get that video up for you in case there was anything else that you might like the sound of :)

[@ticovogt]

Love it! Our Golden Retriever is named Moe, and I went searching for Scottish terms of endearment- "Moe, mo ghràdh!" Thank you!

[@madonnamolloy7408]

I love this idea and what she is doing, My boyfriends Dad was from Scotland but passed before he had a chance to teach him any words. So now I have learned the word and how to pronounce Mo Ghry (my love). So from now on I am going to call him that. Thank u so much again!

Tapadh leibh airson bhidio seo! Tha e gu math cuideachail! Is toil leam na Gàidhlig!

[@bmbrth1]

This is the best one yet! words and how to say them that I have not really seen anywhere else! I have been saying gaol wrong, not i know how to properly say it. Tapadh leibh!

[@Laurenrhiannon]

Thank you so much! I know some people say it more like 'gool' if that's how you were doing it! It's down to dialect and accent, unfortunately we all say things slightly differently! :)

I'm connecting with my boyfriend's Scottish grandma, using your videos. THANK YOU. She lives in a different state than us (in the U.S.)... needless to say, we're both excited to be texting in 'her' language sometimes!

How do you say “forever and always” in Scottish Gaelic? My fiancé and I would like to get it tattooed on us.

[@SilverMember25]

Dìreach àlainn. Tapadh leat.

Do you have the word for friend in one your videos? I’m not sure how to pronounce it.

Reminds me of talking to my dad 😢.

Oh, gosh Gillian! I can only imagine that these are fond memories ♥️

[@gillianstonestreet3201]

[@amyhemker1204]

Could you explain the difference between mo ghraidh and mo ghaol?

[@Skyebright1]

Ghraidh can be less serious, but I think it would just be personal choice

[@russellross2179]

Would you use leanan when speaking to your daughter

[@karsenties_escritora]

I came here with this exact question, but I see that it's been 3 months and no answer :(

[@michaelmcclafferty3346]

Moran Taing a Rhiannon. Bha sinn sgoinneul.

[@elizabethrose3187]

Are there some dialects where "mo ghraidh" would be "mi ghraidh"? I think I've seen that somewhere and just wanted to ask...

[@kv4692]

Is the M’ pronounced May for M’anail (my breath) as well?? I want to inscribe it on my husbands wedding band but I would like to know the proper way to say it before I do.

[@Laurenrhiannon]

It is pronounced as ma! ‘ma-nal’ 🥰

[@kv4692]

[@Deejaay83urj38]

[@laurencates4352]

have you done a video pronunciation of "caoimhneas"

[@chuqaloup9539]

Please can you help? I was wondering if you could help me with the pronunciation of rùnag? Is it roon-ak or more of a roon-ik? Or different entirely?

[@peachysparkles]

I suggest looking up an English-Gaelic dictionary online. There often speak the words for you. ^^

[@jessalynn9324]

Is there a way to say “I like you” instead of “I love you?” Would it be “is toil leam thu?” I wanna tell my crush I like them 😅 not that they know a word of Gaelic

[@gerrygwag]

How about a cuisla mo chridhe?

[@gerrygwag]

That means "the pulse of my heart".

[@chuckandimeforeve]

is caraid pronounced Ca-rich? there are so many subtle inflections I can't get right.. :( hhahaha. leòr is a real hard one

[@Laurenrhiannon]

Absolutely it is! I can be a bit teuch sometimes and it might sound a little more like ca-ratch from me but either way, dialects and accents vary slightly as they do in English, and people will understand! L-yor ..but try to keep the tip of the tongue flat to the roof of your mouth for the L.. more like you would for the word ‘ill’ so maybe try ill-yorr until it feels comfortable enough to shorten. I really hope that helps! Sorry if it has made it even harder haha

[@chuckandimeforeve]

@@Laurenrhiannon hahaha a bit of both maybe? lol thank you! lovely channel. :)

[@geraldgrieve4106]

[@R.E.A.L.I.T.Y]

Only a sadistic madman would A/ use the utterly alien & inadequate Latin alphabet to spell Gaelic and B/ mangle the phonetics with insane latin alphabet spelling. Just respell everything phonetically just as you do below the ludicrous spelling for god sake.
