Aye, she can, she's just being difficult. I think she's just set in her ways (a lot of them are up there) and she's a bit sad that not many people bother with gaelic now. Sometimes when her and dad are talking to one another they go in and out of English and Gaelic...its quite weird.
I have a great aunty in peterhead who talks gaelic in an aberdonian accent - it annoys the hell out of my granny!

I find it funny when there isnt a gaelic word for something and people are speaking gaelic for sentences and sentences until they have to use an English word cause there isnt a gaelic one. Its like bla bla bla bla bla "square-go" . Its really funny.

Well, sophie said she got the prize for her gaidhlig - thats gaelic.
So I said "Well done Sophie! You did well."
(I wondered if the spellings were wrong.)
She then said
"Thank you! The spellings were directly spot on! You also did very well"
I said " Thanks very much. You're very kind."
I suppose that is a
near-enough translation - ask Sophie, she'll know better than me


Yup that is just about it. Some people here have to learn english when they go to school it's kind of strange because most people would learn gaidhlig!

Whats his response in English?
Posted 24 June 2005 - 11:07 PM
"Gaelic neds?! I don't think so!"
Posted 24 June 2005 - 11:39 PM
lol. I see I've started something here. Gaelic neds.
I bet they say: "Square-go, (insert something about being able to take the other guy out)"
then the other one says " Aye (Insert random expletive), cha chreid mi gun robh!"
lol

Thank you. I managed to copy a whole sentence in gaelic. I also made the point that there could be gaelic neds. How witty am I?
Not very. Got to stop with the sarcasm.
