cuspair: useful phrase - gaining (or losing) weight
Bha mi a' toirt sùil air feadh am faclan agam agus chunnaic mi an t-abairt seo ...
*/ I was looking through my dictionary and I saw this phrase ... /*
"B' fheudar dhomh cudthrom a chur orm" = I had to put on weight.
Chaidh mi gus a' dhotair an t-seachdain seo agus dh'innse i dhomh gur feudar dhomh cudthrom a chur *asam* (chan eil orm).
*/ I went to the doctor this week and she told me that I need to put *off* weight (not on). /*
Mar sin, 's fheudar dhomh cudthrom a chur asam.
*/ Therefore, I need to lose weight. (lit. the need is to me to put weight from me) /*
Tha mi a' smaoineachadh gur feudar do tòrr dhaoine cudthrom a chur asam an dèigh an Nollaig, nach eil?
*/ I think that many people will have to lose weight after Christmas, don't you? /*

*/ I think that they will be putting weight on through the season and that is not so good. /*
Air an dara làimh, tha an ogha aig mo phiuthar a' cur cudthrom air agus tha sin math fhèin.
*/ On the other hand, my sister's grandson is putting weight on and that is excellent. /*
