Dathan

We revised our colour learning by making some very colourful Rainbow Fish.

We learned that there are two  ways to ask what colour the fish is, depending on where you are from!

Dè an dath a tha air an t-iasg ? --  What colour is the fish?

Tha dath ……air an t-iasg   --   The fish is coloured ………

Dè an dath a tha an t-iasg ?  ---  what  colour is the fish?

Tha an t-iasg …….          ---                The fish is………..

Buidhe  =Yellow

Uaine  = Green

Dearg   =   Red

Pinc   =  Pink

Purpaidh  =   Purple

 Orains  =   Orange

 Gorm  =   Blue

Liath  = Grey/Lilac

You can find sound files of how to pronounce all of these colours on the Go Gaelic website here.

At song time we sang an old favourite, Dathan aig a bhogha fhroise.
