Do you like to try clothing on before you buy it? In this part of the lesson we’ll need some adjectives that we could use to talk about clothing that doesn’t fit right.
goirid (adj)
short
teann (adj)
tight
beag (adj)
small
fada (adj)
long
mòr (adj)
big
fasanta (adj)
fashionable
And an cruth coimeasach (the comparative form) and an cruth feabhasach (the superlative form) can help us with that. You’ll remember we looked at this in the previous lesson, B1 Cuspair 18 (Teicneòlas).
BUADHAIR | COIMEASACH | FEABHASACH |
goirid | nas giorra | as giorra |
teann | nas teinne | as teinne |
beag | nas lugha | as lugha |
fada | nas fhaide | as fhaide |
mòr | nas motha | as motha |
fasanta | nas fhasanta | as fhasanta |
Tha mi a’ smaoineachadh gum bi feum agad air muinchillean nas giorra.
I think you’ll need shorter sleeves
Tha thu ceart. Tha iad seo beagan ro fhada dhomh, ach is toigh leam an geansaidh seo gu mòr.
You’re right. These are a little too long for me, but I really like this jumper/jersey.
