Saint Andrew's Day

[Mike1]

I've a link to Save Gaelic on my own Web site and have had for some time.

A pal that stays near Dunblane is enrolled in An Cùrsa Inntrigidh, which is provided by Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Colaiste Ghàidhlig na h-Alba. It is a distance learning course that I, sadly, could not afford the materials for, in order to participate. But he is trying to help me along with my own studies.

Who would have thought that there would be such a major snag with a word as simple as 'the'? Such a simple word can be masculine singular, in three different versions, depending upon the initial letter of the noun it proceeds (an t-, am & an), feminine singular in four versions (a' [which lenites the following noun], an [another lenition], an t- & an) and both masuline and feminine plural (na h- [before a vowel] & na [before a consonant]) This may be the death of me, yet.

Mar sin leibh an dràsda

Sin thu fhèin!

Mar sin leat an-dràsda.

Le meas,
Micheal
