Tha an t-acras orm!

I am hungry!

Joy tells us how to talk about what you are eating and drinking.

You will remember from Topic 3 that in Gaelic if someone is suffering from a physical ailment, we state that it is physically on them! This is also true of thirst and hunger.

Tha… orm

I have …

Tha (an) cnatan orm

I have the cold

Tha an t-acras orm

I am hungry

Tha am pathadh orm

I am thirsty

This literally says the hunger is upon me!

Joy can explain this!

We now have a load of questions and ways to answer them.

A bheil an t-acras air Ruairidh?

Is Derek hungry?

Nach eil an t-acras air Ealasaid?

Isn’t Elizabeth hungry?

Chan eil am pathadh oirbh
