Irish Translation Forum

Some people helped me out earlier today with the word broken (they said briste...if that is incorrect please let me know), but I am also trying to find it in Scots Gaelic. If anyone could help me out or direct me to someone/somewhere that could I would appreciate it. Thanks a lot!!

I know a few people semi-fluent as Gaidhlig, will ask them when I get ahold of them (they're all overseas)

Edited to add- And make sure you don't spell it bríste, because people would look at you funny and wonder why you are referring to pants

Check the dictionaries (see link on your left) for Scottish.

So how is it spelled then?

briste (brishta phonetically) means broken
bríste (breeshta phonetically) means pants (trousers)

If you want to try Scots Gaelic, have a look at

http://www.savegaelic.org/

there is a forum on there for Scots Gaelic translations, but I have never tried it out.

spell broken without the fada...
briste = broken
bríste = trousers

and what would be broken trousers?

wokka wokka wokka

It's the same word, spelled the same way, in both Irish and Scottish Gaelic:

briste

Tá mo chroí briste

Tha mo chroidh briste

I meant the joke of having the similar words next to one another!

Cuir ort do bhríste briste

ROTFL

Those broken bríste would be the ones that ya gave to Phelan to sew up for ye and she stitched to her fake leg!
