I really love your videos! I took the Gaelic course on Duolingo, but you explain everything so much better!

Gle mhath, tha sin cuideachail. (Very good, this is helpful).

very helpful distinctions!

Excellent. Your clear explanation are brilliant and so helpful. Thanks

this helps me so much Gle mhath.

Brillant. If I wanted to express my attachement to Scotland in Gaelic, should I say “Mo Alba” ? Like “My (beloved-meaning) Scotland” ?

Just discovered your channel and it is fantastic! Unfortunately I cannot roll my r's (or at least haven't learnt to yet) which makes it very difficult. Sorry ancestors :(

Hey Jason. Like many here I have been really enjoying your channel. I find it helps a ton with what is left out by Duolingo. I started learning in December after finding out that my family is descended from the Dunbar clan of the lowlands. I had a question that popped in my head at work of all places. Lol. Hopefully you can clear it up for me. So what would be the distinction between the when to use agam/agad vs orm/ort. Example the Gaelic for I love you I beileive is “tha gaol agam ort”? Also on a different note, as an added bonus I have found that as a martial artist learning language has really increased the amount of material I am able to retain from classes as I prepare to get my black belt in a second art. Just thought it was an interesting connection between the mind and something physical. Language is somehow magical.

'S toil leam gu mor an bhideo agad. Sin ceart? Very helpful distinction.

Glè mhath, a 'Dheusain! A 'bhidio (is very useful)!

Halò, a-Deasan. Tha mi a' faicinn daoine a’ sgrìobhadh “an duine agam.” (meaning “my husband”). A bheil seo ceart?

Thanks for this, very helpful! One question though when using agam, wouldn’t in your examples the full sentence for “I have the cat” be “Tha an cat agam” and not just “an cat agam”? As far as I know for “I have A cat” it’s “Tha cat agam” - so wouldn’t “the cat” follow the same principle?

Tha seo an bhideo glè mhath, tapadh leibh. Tha Gàidhlig spòrsail ri ionnsachadh.

Jason , at the end of your presenation on "" The Two Ways to Say"", " My " . Are you stating that instead of a verb tense at the beggining of a sentence , the current trend is more of a Pro noun " Mo = My " is now the usual speaking and possible written objective for the native speaker( Scottish gaelic ) compared to the Nova Scotia speaker ? Meaning the trending of more of an English form of Subject / Verb / Object language sentence structure ? Is the method of your teaching , Verb / Noun / Object ? Chaomhainn 04/11/2022

Tapadh leibh a thidseir for this video! I've heard that using "an nighean agam" to say my daughter is preferred, rather than "mo nighean" because "mo nighean" is more akin to saying "my lass" (like when Jamie Fraser from Outlander refers to Claire as "mo nighean donn" (my brown haired lass). Funny how the words for my husband and my daughter use the "an--agam" way rather than using "mo." Do you know of any other instances of this?

Where can we find your videos on meditation? Sorry I am not as good as the others with gaelic to write yet.

Tha e inntineach gu bheil sùilean' 'agaibh' ach..gu bheil tha fàlt 'oirnn'..that hair is 'on' us. I'm just learning, but continuously fascinated by the various degrees of 'intimacy'/ontology implied in Gàidhlig 'ownership'..which Beurla lacks.

I thought that 'agam' meant something like 'at/by me'. This construction is used in other languages, French, Ukrainian, Finnish. where you don't say "i have a car", but rather "there is a car by[at] me'. Il y a un auto chez moi. U mene mashyna.

Curious, Tongan has a similar grammatical distinction, what is inherently yours, and what is merely in your possession, and intimate clothing apparel is in the first group my shirt, but exchangeable accessories, like my flipflops, are in the second. How does gaelic deal with clothing?

Would "Is toil leam mo tidsear Gàidhlig gu mòr" be correct then?

Question: So if you live your sheep and see it as part of your family, using "mo" is correct?

Jason, what would you say is the most difficult Scottish gaelic word to pronounce and why?

I think that the reason the some sounds are the same or similar to French is not because it was hybridized from the French. I believe the French language comes from the Gaelic mothers and their Roman husbands combining their languages with the resulting French language years later.
