Talking about Things You DO Often in Scottish Gaelic

Talking about things you do often is done a bit differently in Gaelic. This video will walk you through the pattern and give you many examples. Once it all becomes more comfortable and natural for you, your accuracy will sharpen and your Gaelic will be more impressive. Plus, you'll be helping to keep the Gaelic mindset alive.

Dude is one of the best teachers I've ever seen.

[@Ashtheseval]

I’ve only watched for a week and know so much Gaelic

[@GaelicwithJason]

Wonderful to hear, a charaid. I'm glad you're here. 🙂 Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

[@ghostofjohnandre9136]

Fantastic video, well explained and a lovely personality to deliver it. I can’t thank you enough for providing free material for those trying to learn on a budget but hopefully soon I will be able to purchase one of your courses to get a more structured approach to learning by Gaelic. Tapadh leat!

'S e do bheatha, a Sheumaidh. Thanks for your kind words. 🙂 I'm glad the videos are useful to you and it would be a pleasure to see you on one of my courses! No rush though - they'll be there when the time is right, Take care and I hope the rest of your week goes well.

Interesting watching these vids and noticing the similarities between Galick and Manx Gealg, eg Kiart dy Lioor as in ok, well equates to Ceart gu mor, and Fastyr Mie for good afternoon. It would make sense as they’re both from the same stem language but gealg spelling influence by English Great vids by the way, very peaceful if that’s the word

[@caroleinwv]

I listened as I was driving and was surprised at what I understood. It was great to get the "why" of it.

[@rowannegriffiths8008]

Loving these videos. We moved to the Outer Hebrides from West Wales this year. Love that some words are similar in Welsh and Gaelic.

[@yvonnelaurie1881]

This is a great video. As usual, I will have to watch it about 20 times before I recall anything! Or so I thought..until I listened to Sporscast on BBC Sounds today and recognised "ball-coise", some days of the week and "sin ceart" ! Thanks Jason!

[@thelanguagefantastic]

Thank you!!! I will watch this going to sleep, not quite paying attention, and it will be all the more familiar when tomorrow comes. The thought of doing your course after my exams are finished is keeping me going! I'm also very excited to see the intermediate course is finished, and that it's about folktales and history, wow... I know the stories in English but the idea of being able to read them in Gaelic is such an amazing motivator. That's a long way away for me yet, but still, knowing that there are good intermediate resources out there is welcome indeed.

[@sashamaguire]

Fantastic, thanks

My pleasure, Sasha. Thanks for watching! 🙂

I just found your absolutely wonderful channel and so greatful for the amazing work you are doing to teach and keep this beautiful language alive. I'm from Australia with a Scottish heritage and I try to ask my family who speak Gaelic words and phrases but find it difficult to learn but I'm still very eager to learn. Keep up the amazing work 💚

Sorry to be just getting to this now, I know the video has been here for a while. I appreciate your knowledge of this. Just wondering, .... can the simple future be used to express habitual action as well? Thought I had seen this somewhere before.

[@seejayyou4462]

I love watching your videos, Jason! I am just starting out learning Gaelic after many years of listening to audiobooks narrated by Scots (including Outlander 😂) and I always wondered why the characters spoke this way (“Will you be wanting…” “He will be doing…”). Now it makes perfect sense. Mòran taing!

[@GaelicwithJason]

Ah, nice to have that clearer. Excellent! 🙂 I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Thanks for watching and take care.

[@deoirdanandrei1512]

Thank you for your videos! Truly helpful for learning a’ ghàidhlig! Also could you make a video of grammatical cases and how to use the genitive and the dative for nouns that still have it (like cionn, dat. sing. of ceann), and occurrences of the dual number (like how you have one "clach", two "cloich" and multiple "clachan")? And would you know of any site or dictionary where I can find all forms of Gaelic nouns? (Like cases and number)

[@iloveejbgssnoopy]

I agree and love Jason's video

[@GaelicwithJason]

My pleasure, a charaid. 🙂 I am working on how to explain the cases as clearly as possible with as few words as possible - and pictures. Once I figure out how to do this, I'll put the videos on here. From what I can tell, dual numbers and dative forms of nouns aren't seen all that often in modern colloquial Gaelic - at least, not as often as they used to be. If you're interested in those, Scottish Gaelic in 12 Weeks has a small section on it, in addition to lengthy noun declensions and such. If 'grammar speak' makes sense to you, that book could be a real asset to you. 🙂 Personally, iy's my reference book of choice. Take care and I hope the rest of your week goes well!

[@GaelicwithJason]

Tapadh leat, a Nancy! Nice to see you today. 🙂 There's no difference in meaning that I'm aware of. Perhaps *a h-uile latha* would be more common but that might not be the case anymore. I see no harm in using them interchangeably.

Hallo Jason! I was reading one of the outlander novels and saw a gaelic word I did not recognize. A chuisle, could you explain the use and meaning of this? Tapadh leat ollaimh!

[@JC-mr5ys]

Hey, I noticed you pronounced dèanamh with an 'oo' sound at the end but normally you'd pronounce it with a V instead, is this because of the word after it, or are both pronunciations acceptable?

[@AndyB1286]

As far as I’m aware it’s regional. Both pronunciations are acceptable. I use the “v” sound myself.

[@GaelicwithJason]

Yep, just like Andy said, it's regional. I tend to lean towards the 'ooo' sound myself, partially because it's not immediately obvious. Hearing me say it over and over will help you acquire that variation so that you'll recognize it quickly when you hear it. 🙂

Hello! Thing can be translated as 'rud'. If you're asking 'What is this thing?' there's a great phrase to use: "Dè a' Ghàidhlig a th' air sin?" (What's the Gaelic for that?) 🙂
