The bluntest way to find out someone’s relationship status is to ask simple questions using the a bheil structures which we have already learnt. You just need to use some new vocabulary.
pòsta
married
singilte
single
A bheil thu pòsta?
Are you married?

Nach eil sibh pòsta?
Are you not married?
Chan eil.

A bheil thu singilte?

Nach eil sibh singilte?

We can also use the other pronouns to ask about other people.
