Hey, could some one give me a translation from english to gaelic I would like to know what the words for woods or farm if you could thanks.

A farm is just feirm, woods (or forest) is coill. Hope that helps. It's in Irish, not Scottish Gaelic, by the way.

In Scots Gàidhlig: (Roughly... depends on what you are actually saying about it.)
farm - fearann
Woodside - Taobh na Coille
Forest - coille

Thanks guys.

I've also found "clobhsa" for farmyard, and "doid" for a small farm. Also "sgalag" for workman or farm servant, and "treabhachas" for husbantry or an arable farm.

Now. any help with "never done" ?????

In what way do you mean never done?
I have never done/It was never done/We never done that...?

Is there a particular phrase you are trying to make?

[Pour1Malt]

in Scots it is-

wuids

arr

fairm arr ferm

Arlen, you are right of course, it's context that counts.

I apologise to Scottish Rebel for stealing his thread.

I am interested in working up a name for our place. We have some goats and chickens and the work is never done. So I was thinking of Never Done Farm. That's what I was hoping to get a handle on in Scottish.

So, what would "Never Done Farm" be in Scottish???

Thanks in advance to all.

That's no problem.
I'll assume you mean Gaidhlig rather than Scots.
(In Scots you'd be best to ask Robertson, he's much better at spelling Scots words than I am.)

You could go for:
A-riamh dèante taigh-tuathanaich which is, roughly, The Never done farmhouse.'
Or...
Trang taigh-tuathanaich, which is 'Busy farmhouse.'

Good luck with it all.

In Irish, "Never Done Farm" would be something like "Feirm ní dhéanadh sé", which means "The farm we have not done". Another way might be "Feirm ní chríochnóidh sé," which would kinda be like "The farm I will not finish"

The Busy Farm would be like "An feirm gnóthach"

I have come across this posted on an Irishman's profile in another forum to which I belong: "Táo qì Huài Lù Gou"

Could anybody give me a translation. If it's obscene, just pm me, lol.
