Tha coltas uabhasach beag air

It looks very small

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.

Atharraichidh mi an loidhne seo. Chan eil i tiugh no dorcha gu leòr. I’ll change this line. It isn’t thick or dark enough.
Seo bruis-pheant eile dhut agus siud am peant dubh. Here’s another paintbrush and there’s some black paint.
Tapadh leat. Thank you.
Dèan an loidhne sin nas làidire. Tha coltas sin caran tana. Make that line stronger. It looks quite thin [That appearance is quite thin].
Nach eil obair snaighidh agad ri dèanamh? Don’t you have sculpture work to do?
Bha, ach tha mi deiseil leatha a-nis. Cuir dath air. I did, but I’m finished with it now. Colour it (in).
Cha chuir. ‘S fheàrr leam an dealbh seo aon-dathach, tapadh leat. I will not (colour). I prefer this picture (to be) monochrome, thank you.
A bheil thu a’ dol a dhèanamh fear eile a bhios ioma-dhathach, ma-thà? Are you going to do another one that’s multi coloured, then?
Chì mi. Nì mi dealbh leis an tòna, an tuar agus an dath mar a thogras mi. Nach toir sinn sùil air an ìomhaigh agadsa? I’ll see. I’ll make a picture with the tone, hue and colour as I please. Shall we (not) have a look at your sculpture?
Bheir. Dè do bheachd? Let’s (look). What do you think?
Chan eil fhios agam dè mo bheachd oirre. Tha i inntinneach, àraid ceart gu leòr. Ach a bheil i buileach deiseil? I don’t know what I think. It’s interesting, ‘special’, right enough. But is it completely finished?
‘S dòcha nach eil. Nach obraich sinn air an ìomhaigh seo còmhla? Probably not. Shall we (not) work on this sculpture together?
Carson nach obraich?! Nach cuir thu tuilleadh criadha ris a’ cheann? Tha coltas uabhasach beag air. Why not?! Won’t you put/add some more clay on the head? It looks very small [It has a very small appearance].
Cuiridh. Nise, ma sheasas tusa thall an sin, gheibh mi sealladh nas fheàrr de mhullach a’ chinn bhig sin … dìreach taghta! I will (put). Now, if you stand over there, I’ll get a better view/perspective of the top of that little head … just perfect!
