'S e naidheachd dhuilich a tha sin

Let’s have a look at this discussion. By the end of this section, you will have learned some valuable phrases that you can use in lots of different conversations.

An cuala tu gun do shiubhail seanair Anna? Did you hear that Anna’s grandfather passed away?
Cha chuala. ‘S e naidheachd dhuilich a tha sin. B’ e deagh dhuine a bh’ ann agus bha esan na shàr phìobaire cuideachd. I didn’t (hear). That is sad news. He was a good man and he was a great piper too.
Tha cuimhne agamsa air na làithean a chuir sinn seachad anns an eilean. I remember the days we spent on the island.
B’ e siud am prìomh rud a shaoil mi nuair a chuala mi an naidheachd. Abair dòlas. That was the first thing I thought when I heard the news. What heartbreak.
‘S mòr am beud nach d’ fhuair mi cothrom còmhradh ris aon uair eile. It’s a shame I didn’t get a chance to talk to him one more time.
Bu mhòr am beud gu dearbh. Bha Anna cho measail air. It was a shame indeed. Anna loved him so much (Anna was so fond of him).
Bidh i fhèin agus a màthair fo mhulad leis an naidheachd sin. She and her mother will be devastated by that news.
Bhiodh e daonnan ag ràdh ri Anna, ‘Tha mi cho pròiseil asad.’ Och, bidh i a’ gul is a’ caoineadh gu goirt. He always said to Anna, ‘I’m so proud of you.’ Oh, she’ll be weeping and crying bitterly.
Cha bhi beud oirre, am bi? She’ll be alright, won’t she?
Tha amharas agam gum bi. Tha cuimhn’ agamsa mar a thachair le a seanmhair, nach maireann. Chaidh Anna sìos na h-inntinn gu mòr an uair sin. I suspect she won’t. I remember what happened with her late grandmother. Anna got very down (depressed) at that time.
Nach eil fhios gu bheil faireachdainnean agus slàinte, gu h-àraidh slàinte-inntinn ann an altan a chèile? Isn’t it [known] a fact that emotions and health, especially mental health, are closely linked?
Tha gu dearbh. Bha Anna troimh-a-chèile, bha a sùilean silteach, deurach. Och, ‘s e àm muladach is cianail a bh’ ann. It is indeed. Anna was upset, her eyes were tearful, weeping. Oh, it was a sad and mournful time.
Feumaidh sinn uile a bhith a’ toirt an aire aig amannan mar seo. We all need to be careful at times like this.
