Tha an tè seo ro fhada

This one is too long

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.

Tha a’ bhriogais seo ro ghoirid agus tha an lèine ro thachasach. These trousers are too short and the shirt is too itchy.
Chan eil na muinchillean air an t–seacaid seo a’ fiotadh gu ceart. Tha iad ro fhada agus chan eil na cinn–mhuinchill teann gu leòr. The sleeves on this jacket don’t fit properly. They’re too long and the cuffs aren’t tight enough.
Fear mu seach, mas e ur toil e! One at a time, please!
Chan eil a’ bhriogais a’ fiotadh gu ceart! Feumaidh mi tè nas fhaide fheuchainn. Agus bu toigh leam lèine chotain fhaighinn. The trousers don’t fit properly. I need to try a longer pair. And I’d like to get a cotton shirt.
Am faigh mi seacaid le muinchillean nas giorra ach le cinn–mhuinchill nas teinne—mas e ur toil e? May I have a jacket with shorter sleeves and with tighter cuffs—please [if you please]?
Nì mi mo dhìcheall. Fuirichibh gus am faic mi. I’ll do my best. Wait till I see.
Tha am peitean agam ro bheag. My waistcoat is too small.
B’ fheàrr leam tàidh nas giorra. Tha an tè seo ro fhada. I’d like a shorter tie. This one is too long.
Agus tha an geansaidh seo fada ro mhòr dhomh. Feumaidh mi fear nas lugha fhaighinn. And this jumper/jersey is far too big for me. I’ll have to get a smaller one.
Ach fàsaidh an geansaidh beag san inneal–nigheadaireachd. Mar sin, ‘s dòcha gu bheil an geansaidh mòr sin a’ fiotadh mar bu chòir. But the jumper/jersey will shrink in the washing machine. So it’s possible that that big jumper/jersey fits as it should.
Tha thu ceart, mar as àbhaist. Ist! Seo tè na bùtha a’ tilleadh. You’re right, as usual. Shoosh! Here’s the shopkeeper coming back.
