[English follows Gaelic]

Feasgar math,

Cuimhnich gu bheil faidhle-fuaime na cuairt-litreach seo air Soundcloud, dh’fhaodadh tu èisteachd rithe aig an aon àm. Ma leughas tu a’ chuairt-litir seo air do choimpiutair gheibh thu teacsa Beurla ann an colbh ri taobh an teacsa Gàidhlig. Bidh an dà rud seo cuideachail airson do sgilean Gàidhlig a leasachadh.

Ciamar a tha cùisean agad an t-seachdain sa? A bheil thu air a bhith trang? Innis dhuinn na rinn thu. Bha sinn a-muigh airson biadh agus nach e a bha neònach a bhith ann an taigh-bìdh còmhla ri daoine a-rithist!

An t-seachdain sa, bha taghadh ann an Alba. An deach thu airson bhòt a chur a-steach? Ma tha thu ag iarraidh bruidhinn air, tha liosta againn ann am Fichead Facal le faclan a bhios feumail airson bruidhinn air an taghadh. 

Am faca tu an Q&A a bh’ againn air Instagram an t-seachdain sa? Bidh sinn ga dhèanamh gach trì no ceithir seachdainean agus faodaidh tu ceist sam bith ceangailte ri Gàidhlig a chur oirnn. Ma tha thu air Instagram, cuir ceist thugainn an ath-thuras! 

Fhuair sinn ceist chumanta Dimàirt air cuin a bhios tu a’ cleachdadh ‘an’, ‘am’, agus ‘a’’ airson an alt cinnteach (the). A bheil fhios agadsa cuin a chleachdas tu iad? Tha earrann againn air an làraich-lìn ann an Little by Little a mhìnicheas seo agus tha e a’ toirt dhut eisimpleirean airson gach fear. Carson nach feuch thu seantans a’ cleachdadh ‘a’’, ‘an’ agus ‘am’?

Sin agad e, a charaid. Bho do charaidean aig LearnGaelic.

Good evening,
 
Remember there is an audio file for this newsletter on Soundcloud, you could listen to it at the same time. If you read this on your computer, you’ll get the English text in a column beside the Gaelic text. These two things will be helpful to develop your Gaelic skills.

How are things with you this week? Have you been busy? Tell us what you did. We were out for food and wasn’t it strange to be in a restaurant with people again!

This week, there was an election in Scotland. Did you go to put a vote in? If you want to talk about it, we have a list in Twenty Words with words that are useful for talking about the election. 

Did you see the Q&A we had on Instagram this week? We do it every three or four weeks and you can ask us any question related to Gaelic. If you’re on Instagram, send us a question next time! 

We got a common question on Tuesday on when you use ‘an’, ‘am’, and ‘a’’ for the definite article (the). Do you know when you use them? We have a section on the website in Little by Little that explains this and it gives you examples for each one. Why don’t you try a sentence using 'a’', 'an' and 'am'?

That’s all for now, pal. From your pals at LearnGaelic.

Cuairt-litir LearnGaelic: An Taghadh | LearnGaelic Newsletter: The Election

Hi a charaid,
Uill, nach eil an tìde a’ dol seachad... tha Am Màrt a’ tòiseachadh Dihaoine! Ciamar a tha toiseach na bliadhna air a dhol dhutsa? Ann an dòigh, tha e a’ faireachdainn mar gu bheil an t-saoghal a’ dùsgadh bho norrag uabhasach fhèin fada! A bheil dad sam bith ann a tha thu a’ coimhead air adhart ris sa mhìos air thoiseach oirnn? Seo rud no dhà bhon taobh againne:
Nach bi e snog na dìtheanan fhaicinn sa h-uile h-àit’? Eadar na blàthan sna craobhan agus na neòineanan san fheur, tha na dathan a’ nochdadh ann am pailteas. Abair cothrom sgoinneil a bhios ann dealbhan àlainn a thogail, no fiù ’s dealbhan a pheantadh thu fhèin! 
Ma thu measail air beagan uaine, cha toir Là Fhèill Pàdraig fada tighinn! Am bi thu fhèin a’ comharrachadh an latha seo? Tha dlùth-cheangal eadar na Gàidheil agus na h-Èireannaich, agus mar sin bidh gu leòr againne a’ gabhail pàirt ann an spòrs agus fealla-dhà air an 17mh den Mhàrt a h-uile bliadhna! 
’S dòcha gun nochd cuthag no dhà - a bheil gaol no gràin agad air an fhuaim a bhios iad a’ dèanamh? Cluinnidh tu iad mus faic thu iad, gun teagamh sam bith! An robh fios agad gur e bratagan faltach am biadh as fheàrr leis a’ chuthaig?
Bidh na clocan a’ dol uair a thìde air adhart air an latha mu dheireadh den mhìos. Chan eil sinn cho cinnteach gu bheil sinn a’ coimhead air adhart ri sin, oir tha e a’ ciallachadh gun caill sinn uair a thìde de chadal!
Gus na làithean, seachdainean agus mìosan na bliadhna a chumail nad chuimhne, thèid gu LearnGaelic.scot > Reifreans > Fichead Facal agus tagh Cinn-latha.
A bheil càil sònraichte a’ dol agad fhèin an t-seachdain sa? ’S dòcha gu bheil planaichean spòrsail agad airson an deireadh-sheachdain? Ma tha, nach leig thu fios thugainn le post-d no air na meadhanan sòisealta? 
Sin e bhuainne airson seachdain eile. Bho do charaidean aig Sgioba LearnGaelic, mar sin leat.
