    Did I spell and conjugate it right?

    Scholars, please help.
    Having asked my Gaelic speaking friend I got this reply

    "Hi Peter, yes it is right.....I do still speak it and I am now working in the Gaelic Dept. at Oban High School.."


    I don't suppose you can get a better authority than that!!!!!

    Excellent ! I did my O-Grade Gaelic at Oban High School many moons ago.
    We were taught by Norman MacLean who was a great teacher, and being a professional comedian he did make the learning fun
    I've probably forgotten more than I learned, but "mo ghraigh" is indeed a great term for your loved one, I use it or just 'ghraigh' an occasion.
