Throughout the Highlands

Air feadh na Gàidhealtachd

You'll remember from A2 Cuspair 5 we saw three compound prepositions which also take the genitive case.

ri taobh
beside
air beulaibh
in front of
air cùlaibh
behind

In the conversation, we saw and heard another one: air feadh (throughout).

air feadh na Gàidhealtachd
throughout the Highlands
air feadh an taighe
throughout the house
air feadh na dùthcha
throughout the country

And there were two new phrases:

measail (air) (adj)
fond (of)
a' feuchainn (ri) (vn)
trying (to)
Tha mi measail air ealain cuideachd
I'm fond of art as well.
Bidh mi a' feuchainn ris an nigheadaireachd a dhèanamh!
I try to do the washing!
