Gaelic Sayings To Use Every Day

THERE IS... THERE ARE...

English - Scots Gaelic - Pronunciation


To say 'there is no...', simply use 'chan eil' instead of 'tha'

There is no toilet - chan eil taigh beag ann -- chan yeyll tigh behk ownn
There are no stars - chan eil rionnagan ann - chan yeyll roonnakæn ownn

Tha... ann is also used in many idiomatic expressions, so don't get confused if you come across it in a context where it can not be translated as 'there is'.
