How do you say, "He makes me sad" in ...any of: Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx Gaelic, Welsh, Cornish, and/or Breton? And what does it literally mean in English?
Go raibh maith agat (Thanks).

Manx: T'eh cur trimshey orrym. Same literal meaning as the Irish, though it's worded differently.

Welsh: Mae e'n codi'r felan arna fi. "He's raising the melancholy on me." (Or using habitual to match the Irish: (Fe) Fydd e'n codi'r felan arna fi.)
