Tha an la fuàr (pronounced fooar)
You can see here a literal translation “Is the day cold”
Tha – is
an – the
la – day
fuàr – cold
This is a great sentence to explain the word order of Gaelic. Verb first, subject and then the other bit .
Tha mi fuàr – I am cold
A good exercise for today would be to sit down with a Gaelic dictionary and try to make new sentences with the verb “to be”. As your knowledge gets better we can revisit those later. Try to write some descritions of yourself or of people you know.
Tha mi Caraid (Caritsh) I am a friend. You will notice that there is no “a” in the Gaelic but I put this into the English translation. The “a” as an article before a noun does not exist in Gaelic. It nly exists when we use “the” like the example “Tha an la fuàr”. We can see “an”. We will talk more about that later.
Tha e saighdear (sy-tshir) he is (a) soldier.
These are simple sentences and we will make them more complex as we continue but right now, I want to keep it simple for a while until you understand the basics and get some vocabulary.

Pod cast will be useful to practice my listening skills better then music which I use at the moment, so I’ll definitely check that out!!!
Thank you so much for the links much appreciated.
Keep up the hobby 😁, gaelic grammar is confusing to understand at the best of times and most websites confuse me further, I have slight dyslexic so grammar is confusing in my own language (I’m hoping learning another language with help that too) your explanation was simple and straight to the point, literally the best I’ve found!!!!
