Fabulous Jason. Here is rural, southern Australia we say " a crap load" as in " a lot". He earned a crap load of money. but I don't think it came from our Scottish ancestors ( of whom there were many). Am loving these 'sound" aid clips.
Jason I am in love with you! haha. Seriously. I am a student at Sabhal Mor Ostaig , I study Ann Cursa Inntrigidh and the material from the course is good, but wow I understand it so much better with your videos! It is like from Sabhal Mor Ostaig I memorise a lot of stuff, but with you I know why and I obvisouly need to know why! Thank you so, so much.
Olá, Jason. Eu comecei a estudar o Gaélico Escocês com o programa da BBC Alba "Speak Our Language", que é muito bom. Ultimamente estou estudando através dos seus vídeos, que são ótimos. Adoro suas ilustrações. Muito obrigada e que Deus o abençoe sempr. Feliz 2022.
Is toil leam bhideo seo, a Dheusain! Dè tì a bha thu ag òl? Bha thu ag òl tì uaine, no tì dubh?🤔 Cha robh fios agam mu dheidhinn "a' reic". Tha e a 'comhardadh le...ceic! Ò, tha ceic GLÈ BHLASTA!
I love the cnap mòr idiom. In Australian English we say "heaps" to mean "a lot" or "very" which reminds me of this. "I have heaps of money" or "it's heaps rainy today". Jason, a charaid, I've noticed here that all your examples are after a vowel, but when you say fàilte in the intro, you preaspirate the T after the L. Is this normal to do, or is preaspiration usually just after a vowel? TL
Ah, excellent. 🙂 Heaps rainy, sounds like a flood risk though! Yikes. You have sharp ears, Tomas. Most of the time, this preaspiration will happen after a vowel, since consonants rarely stand side-by-side. You're spot on: Fàil(H)te. Two more examples are cearc & falt. 🙂
Ah, great question, Christine. When we have combinations that already include Hs, ie: adh, idh, ach, then there's no hidden H like those shown in the video. They don't need to hide because they're part of that cluster of letters. Does that help a bit? 🙂
What a great Idea - the witcher!! You always find a way to make me smile when lenition becomes too much
Glad you enjoyed these Witcher videos! Lenition can be a beast sometimes and a smile can go a long way. 🙂
Such a gentle way of learning the language, makes the process fun and valuable. Loving everyone.
Tapadh leat gu mòr! Thanks very much for your kind words. 🙂

This kind of asperation or hidden H is a very natural and common part of Icelandic as well.
Loved the tea bit 😂
You have sharp eyes - glad you noticed! 😁

I cannot hear if you are saying CNAP Mor with an N sound or an R sound as the second letter. It looks like an N but it sounds like "CRahp
I'm going to remember the word "cnap" by thinking of a pile of crap! (b/c that's what it sounds similar to.) 🤣
Glè mhath! Whatever makes it memorable. 😁
🤣🤣🤣Crap Mor, it's a big pile!💩 Wow, That's a big pile of Crap Mor you got there!!🤣🤣🤣
Quest completed! Hidden H's found!
Deus o abençoe sempre.
Tapadh leibh Dèsain
'S e do bheatha, Anik! 🙂
I understand the hidden 'h' but why doesn't 'blàth' have an extra 'h' before the 't' as well?

@@GaelicwithJason ahhh! Tapadh leat
Mòran taing airson do chuideachadh Jason! A bheil bhidio agad mu dheidhinn sèimheachadh le "R's"??
To my ear there are three Hs in seòclaid - She-oh-laich
👍
