(different dialects/ways) In Scots Gaelic: Tha gràdh agam ort. Have fun with the instruction, Skarpi. Sounds like a day I'd enjoy a lot, myself. By the way, have you seen this movie? When it was released on videotape over here, it was called "The Celt". The costume and weaponry was supposed to have been well-researched anyway. |

If it is Scots Gaelic and the sword is a claymore, it may qualify in certain perverse subcuiltures, but that is an exception. Not for the minds of young and hopeful children, certainly! :>)) A |

07 Feb 04 - 03:47 PM (#1111518) Subject: RE: BS: I love you in Gealic? From: McGrath of Harlow What's that last word, skarpi? I mean, how do you sound that first letter? because it's not one we have in Engish. ......................... And three essential words not in that list - "No", "Stop", and "Help" Though all of these can be got across pretty well without language, as can most really essential words - I'm hungry...thirsty...tired... angry...happy. |

From: GUEST Colm Toibin claimed he learned Catalan so he could say "don't come yet"; I'll hide modestly under a Guest cloak while making that statement! But it is possibly another of the essential phrases, in some circumstances! Gra mo chridh means "love of my heart", by the way. |

22 Jan 08 - 01:06 PM (#2242107) Subject: RE: BS: I love you in Gealic? From: Rapparee I thought "Baa" was Scots or Welsh.... My youngest brother dressed as someone settling Illinois back about 1810 would have dressed as a demonstration of one of his sons classes. His outfit included a flintlock rifle, a patch knife, and a belt knife -- and so the Principal met him at the door and stayed with him throughout the presentation. Bro explained the various things -- flint and steel to make a fire, how you'd make tea from a brick of tea, how the rifle worked (without firing it!), and so on. The kids were entranced, save for one smart-aleck who said, "Well, yeah, but your knife (the belt knife he had on) ain't sharp and this is all toys, isn't it?" Never, ever, criticize my brother's knife sharpening ability. He used to sharpen scalpels, and it so happened that he'd put an edge on this particular knife just the night before. He simply looked at the kid, drew the knife, and holding the knife edge upwards dropped a piece of paper edge downwards onto the blade. The paper was cleanly cut by its own weight into two parts. The kid's jaw hit the floor. The principal later thanked my bro for shutting up a mouthy punk. |
