Gnìomhairean ùra

New verbs

To talk about technology we also have to learn gnìomhairean ùra (new verbs). There are specific words used, just as in English, to talk about using computers and other technology. The regular verbs here give us an opportunity to look again at the rules for each tràth (tense) we learned before:

Cruthaich! | Create!a’ cruthachadh | creating
An do chruthaich?Nach do chruthaich?✅ ChruthaichCha do chruthaich
Did create?Didn’t create?CreatedDidn’t create
An cruthaich?Nach cruthaich?✅ CruthaichidhCha chruthaich
Will create?Won’t create?Will createWon’t create
a chruthaicheas
(that) will create
An cruthaicheadh?Nach cruthaicheadh?✅ chruthaicheadhCha chruthaicheadh
Would create?Wouldn’t create?Would createWouldn’t create

You can apply the same rules to the following verbs which you may find useful when talking about teicneòlas.
