Today’s Daily Gaelic Verb is:
I chose this one as I looked up “reinstate” on Am Faclair Beag and cuir came up. Then realising what a tricky verb this might be to start with I looked through the list of idiomatic uses and found cuir ann which was shown as meaning “reinstate”, literally “put there”.
Another one of the uses I liked was is beag tha a’ cur orm which had the translation as “I am quite well, alright”. I’m taking this to mean however that it’s a reply someone would give after being in an accident, for example, or some other misfortune. The literal translation is more like “It’s a little is put on me.” This is the equivalent of “There’s hardly a scratch on me.”
