Ath

Next

We use ath to mean ‘next’ in Gaelic. Ath comes before a noun and lenites it where possible.

ath

next / following

an ath oidhche

the next / following night

an ath sheachdain

the next / following week

an ath bhliadhna

the next / following year

an ath thuras

the next / following journey

an ath uair

the next / following time

an ath rud

the next / following thing

an ath mhionaid

the next / following minute

Hyphens are used with an ath- to form adverbs of time, such as an-ath-oidhch’ ‘tomorrow night’, which is different from an ath oidhche ‘the next /following night’. Ath comes before a noun and lenites it where possible.

an-ath-oidhch’

tomorrow night

an-ath-sheachdain

next week

an-ath-mhìos

next month

an-ath-bhliadhn’

next year
