Attached: 2 images Guides I wrote a while ago about ‘being’ in Sc. Gaelic and in Irish (tha/tĂĄ/bĂ­ verbs vs the copula ‘is’). They’re fairly comprehensive and, I hope, helpful to learners: https://celtic-languages.org/Guide_to_Scottish_Gaelic_to_be https://celtic-languages.org/Guide_to_Irish_to_be I haven’t shared them in a while, so maybe it’s worth linking them again. :) @[email protected] @[email protected] #GĂ idhlig #Gaidhlig #Gaeilge #Gaelainn #ScottishGaelic #Irish

The guide I wrote a while ago about ‘being’ in Irish (the tá/bí verb vs the copula ‘is’). It’s fairly comprehensive and, I hope, helpful to learners:

The guide to the Scottish Gaelic tha/bi verb and the copula. Written initially on #Duolingo forums to help the learners there.

I added an entirely new section to the Scottish Gaelic guide today – about choosing between ’s e, ’s i, ’s iad, and made several improvement to some other parts. :)

@silmeth A useful guide. I do love that way of setting out the possible ways-of-saying in a language.
#duolingo didn't appreciate the value of a crowdsourced ecosystem.

@AllyD Thanks. And agreed, Duolingo generally went in a very bad direction in the last few years.

Optimizing for engagement in the app, with complete disregard for the actual learning experience.
