Very sweet and would like to know the English translation. So as to know if it is traditional grace.

Please post more of this delightful boy speaking gaelic. My ancestors hail from Scotland, but my great grandparents spoke gaelic, but my grandpa could not remember much being away from it for so long.

It's a grace that primary school kids get taught. It means something like:

Thank you for the world so sweet

Thank you for the food we eat

Thank you for the birds that sing

Thank you, Lord, for everything.

It's Scottish Gaelic.

[Adm1Adm1Adm1]

He is, isn't he? I don't know the Gaelic, but the English goes something like:

Thank you for the world so sweet

Thank you for the food we eat

Thank you for the birds that sing

Thank you, Lord, for everything.

Great! Doing my best to learn the old language thanks to Robert MacKechnie's "Gaelic without Groans". Isn't the ween taking an anglicized version to say 'thank you', rather than 'tapadh leat'?

@VerumAdNauseam Does this really mean this? Or are you just one of those nasty negative cynics?

[aimeecurry46]

@wildstyle666brooke yeah me to it is easier to figure out how to pronounce the words when you can see them in written form. I just love trying to learn new languages.

@Adm1Adm1Adm1 hey could you write the words out for me in gaelic??? i would love to teach my 4 year old daughter that p.s im irish

@Thuglordrpt - Your trying to play with words.

Scots Gaelige

Irish Gaelige

There is no differentiation between the description of the word "Gaelige" whether you are trying to prove a difference.

From your YouTube channel you appear to be coming from an IRA/Sinn Fein point of view. An Gaelige is neither Scottish nor Irish, it is Celtic. As are the Scots, Welsh, Irish, Bretons etc.

Put the politics aside and leave the criminal IRA/Sinn Fein and the rest of the Republican Scum to the Courts.
