Deagh chomharra
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.
Am faca tu siud?
Did you see that?
Chan fhaca! Agus chan fhaicte leis nach robh dad ann ri fhaicinn!
I didn't (see)! And it wouldn't be seen because there was nothing to see!
'S e dreag a bha siud!
That was a meteor!
An e reul–chearbach a bh' ann?
Was it a comet?
Chan e. Cha bhiodh. Chan fhaicte reultan–chearbach an seo.
No. It wouldn't have been. Comets would not be seen here.
A bheil thu cinnteach nach biodh ann ach rionnag–earbaill?
Are you sure it would only have been a shooting star?
Och, chan eil mi cinnteach a–nis. Ach 's e deagh chomharra a bhios ann.
Oh, I'm not sure now. But it is (will be) a good sign.
Tha mòran chomharran ri fhaighinn bho na rionnagan san iarmailt, cuid dhiubh gu math feumail.
There are many signs from the stars in the sky, some of them very useful.
Nam bithinn air seachran ann am fànas–domhain, bhithinn an dòchas stiùireadh fhaighinn bho na reultan.
If I were lost in deep space, I would hope for guidance from the stars.
Dè tha thu a' ciallachadh?
What do you mean?
Tha mi a' ciallachadh, mar eisimpleir, An Reul–iùil (Polaris). Bhiodh sin na iùl dha na maraichean sna seann làithean agus bhiodh fhathast!
I mean, for example, The North Star (Polaris). That was a guide for the sailors in the old days and still is!
Agus chan ann a–mhàin aig muir a gheibhte stiùireadh. Gheibhte taic le iomadh reul—agus a' ghealach—air talamh tròcair cuideachd.
And it's not only at sea that you get direction (guidance). Assistance has been/would be had from many a star—and the moon—on dry land as well.
