Litir 1060: An Gà idheal - Tòimhseachain
Halò a-rithist, a chà irdean. An toigh leibh tòimhseachain? Fhuair mi lorg air feadhainn an latha eile ann an seann phà ipear-naidheachd a chaidh fhoillseachadh anns an naoidheamh linn deug – An Gà idheal. Gabhaidh e leughadh air an eadar-lìon.
An toiseach, dà thòimhseachan a tha a’ cleas leis an fhacal ‘fada’. Seo agaibh a’ chiad fhear: Carson a tha leabaidh an t-slaodair ro ghoirid air a shon? A bheil sibh a’ tuigsinn slaodair? Cuideigin a tha leisg is slaodach. Carson a tha leabaidh an t-slaodair ro ghoirid air a shon? A chionn ʼs gu bheil e ro fhada innte. Bùm bùm, mar a thuirt am fear eile. Because he is too long in it. A chionn ʼs gu bheil e ro fhada innte.
Seo agaibh tòimhseachan eile anns an aon iris dhen Ghà idheal: Cò an sluagh as leisge, agus carson? Cò an sluagh as leisge, agus carson? ʼS e am fuasgladh – An fheadhainn as à irde, oir bidh iad nas fhaide anns a’ leabaidh na cà ch!
Bha na seann Ghà idheil riamh measail air tòimhseachain, agus bhiodh e math a leithid a chumail a dol anns an latha a th’ ann. Seo agaibh fear eile: Carson a tha muc anns an t-seòmar coltach ri taigh na theine? Carson a tha muc anns an t-seòmar coltach ri taigh na theine? Mar as luaithe a chuireas tu às i, ʼs ann as fheà rr. The quicker you put it out, the better. Mar as luaithe a chuireas tu às i, ʼs ann as fheà rr.
Agus fear eile. Bha m’ athair nach maireann na fhiaclair. Mar sin, tha am fear seo a’ còrdadh rium. Carson a tha fiacail a chaidh a tharraing coltach ri nì a chaidh air dìochuimhne? Carson a tha fiacail a chaidh a tharraing coltach ri nì a chaidh air dìochuimhne? ʼS e am fuasgladh – dh’fhalbh e às a’ cheann!
Agus aon fhear eile. ʼS dòcha nach bi seo cho furasta dhuibh, ach smaoinichibh air cumadh a’ bhuntà ta. Carson a tha deòir coltach ri buntà ta? Carson a tha deòir coltach ri buntà ta? Tha iad a’ fàs às an t-sùil. Tha iad a’ fàs às an t-sùil. Nì sin an gnothach airson tòimhseachain an-drà sta, nach dèan?
Tha mi airson abairt no dhà innse dhuibh, a nochdas anns an aon iris dhen Ghà idheal. Tha tòrr fìrinn anns na h-abairtean seo, agus tha iad brìghmhor. Seo agaibh tè: Is fheà rr teine beag a gharas, na teine mòr a loisgeas. A small fire that warms a person is better than a big fire that burns them. Is fheà rr teine beag a gharas, na teine mòr a loisgeas.
Seo feadhainn eile: Is fheà rr fuine thana na bhith gun aran idir. It’s better to have a thin baking than to be without bread. Is fheà rr fuine thana na bhith gun aran idir.
Is duilich bùrn glan a thoirt à tobar salach. It’s hard to draw clean water from a dirty well. Is duilich bùrn glan a thoirt à tobar salach.
Is beag a th’ eadar do ghal ʼs do ghà ire. Little separates tears from laughter. Is beag a th’ eadar do ghal ʼs do ghà ire.
Agus seo agaibh smuain a tha a cheart cho fìor an-diugh ʼs a bha i riamh: Is beò duine an dèidh a shà rach’, ach cha bheò e an dèidh a nà rach’.
An toiseach, dà thòimhseachan a tha a’ cleas leis an fhacal ‘fada’. Seo agaibh a’ chiad fhear: Carson a tha leabaidh an t-slaodair ro ghoirid air a shon? A bheil sibh a’ tuigsinn slaodair?

Puing-chà nain na Litreach
Puing-chà nain na Litreach: Is fheà rr fuine thana na bhith gun aran idir: it’s better to have a thin baking than to be without bread. Starting a statement with ‘Is fheà rr’ is a neat way of making a pithy statement – why not try and create a few or your own, starting with ‘Is fheà rr’? Is fheà rr beagan Gà idhlig na bhith gun Gà idhlig idir!
Seanfhacal na Litreach
Seanfhacal na Litreach: Is beò duine an dèidh a shà rach’, ach cha bheò e an dèidh a nà rach’: a man survives harrassment but does not survive shaming.
