Hey Daniel,
following on from the posts in the Irish forum about comparing Irish and Scottish Gaelic, I was just having a look on the Scottish Gaelic forum and I found some strange things, like
in the lesson on the future tense you say that cha bhi mi means 'I will not be', whereas in Irish bhí mé means 'I was'
It seems that the Scottish future negative 'to be' is the same as the Irish past positive 'to be'
Weird eh?
Another thing I noticed that I thought was a bit funny was that in Scottish Gaelic, you use the word fear (man) to mean 'one' - In Irish we use the word ceann (head) for this
'am fear sin' - 'an ceann sin' - 'that one'
('that man' - 'that head' - that one')
(I hope I got the Gaidhlig bit right? )
also you said 'tè' is a feminine word used like 'fear' above - In Irish this is simply another word for 'duine' - person. They're pretty much interchangeable, but 'té' is a little more poetic/religious.
Strange, eh?
