Any Scots Gaelic speakers here?

My wife and I are on the committee of this local community Gaelic group and also maintain the website, so we've tried to gather useful links for learners and anybody interested in the language and culture.

How do you say "cat" in Gaelic? In case it matters, I plan to use the word when my wife's cat won't get out from underfoot or scratches things in the house that he shouldn't be scratching. For example, "MOVE, cat!", or, "Quit that, cat!"

For what it's worth, "dog" in Russian is "sabaka".

Hi Piperdbh,

Gluais = move
Cat = (are ya ready for this....?? ) = Cat

so

Gluais Cat! = Move Cat!!

or

Sin Falbh!! = Quit that!

Hope this helps,

Eric

Looks good to me. How about pronunciation?

Piper,

OK here is my best shot: Gluais = Glue - eyes

Sin Falbh = Shin Fallv

I am no expert believe me. Any Scots here wanna help? Thanks guys,
