Tha an aimsir a' dol am miosad

The weather is getting worse

Let’s have a look at this discussion. By the end of this section, you will have learned some valuable phrases that you can use in lots of different conversations.

‘S mathaid gum bi sinn a’ feuchainn ri smachd a ghabhail air cùisean ach, mar a tha cùisean, an tèid againn air sin a dhèanamh? We may try to control things, but as things stand, will we be able to? do that?
Cha chreid mi gun tèid. Tha an gnothach fada nas motha na mise—no sinne! I don’t think so. The problem is much bigger than me—or us!
Agus tha an gnothach nas miosa cuideachd. Tha an aimsir a’ dol am miosad, mar a tha fhios againn uile. And the problem is getting worse too. The weather is getting worse, as we all know.
Agus tha an teothachd ag èirigh. Saoil an tèid an saoghal an teothad san àm ri teachd? And the temperature is rising. Will the world get hotter in the future?
Tha a’ ghnàth-shìde a’ dol an teothad mar-thà. Ach aig a’ cheart àm gheibhear sìde nan seachd sian gach dàrna latha. The climate is already getting hotter. But at the same time we get extremes of weather [weather of the seven elements] every other day.
An deach an aimsir ann an Alba am flichead anns na bliadhnaichean a chaidh seachad? Has the weather in Scotland become wetter in recent years?
Chaidh. Tha an fhianais aig Oifis na Sìde ag innse dhuinn. Tha an t-uisge a bhios a’ tuiteam a’ dol an truimead. It has. The Met Office’s evidence tells us. The rain that is falling is getting heavier.
Chan e a-mhàin sin, tha gaoth is gaillinn is gèiltean againn nach fhaca mise ach gu h-ainneamh nuair a bha mise beag. Not only that, we have wind and storms and gales that I rarely saw when I was a child.
Fòghnaidh na dh’fhòghnas! Nach eile cuimhn’ agaibh air COVID-19 nuair a stad mòran siubhail ann am priobadh na sùla? Enough is enough! Don’t you remember COVID-19 when a lot of travel stopped just like that [in the blink of an eye]?
Tha cuimhn’ agam air a’ ghlasadh-sluaigh ceart gu leòr. ‘S e cùis eagail a bh’ ann! Cha bu toil leam tilleadh gu àm a’ Ghalair. I remember Lockdown well. It was a scary matter! I wouldn’t want to go back to the time of the COVID [the Disease].
Ach nach eil cuimhn’ agaibh gun deach cùisean am feabhas? But don’t you remember that things got better?
Tha gu dearbh. Cha deach an àrainneachd am feabhas buileach ach thàinig piseach oirre. Chuir e iongnadh air luchd-saidheans fiù ‘s. Yes, indeed. The environment didn’t improve/recover completely but it did get better. It surprised even the scientists.
Tha fhios nach robh e fada gu leòr ach fhuair sinn aiteal air leigheas na cruinne. It may not have been long enough but we got a glimpse of the world healing.
