B' fheàirrde sinn sin

We're the better for that

There is another way that we can use adjectives, which has another unusual name: an ceum fàthach (the resultative degree). 

This form tells us that something is better or worse after something, as a result of something. 

Again, these forms exist for every adjective, but only fheàirrde and miste are heard often.
