However much we like to be happy and contented all the time, such is impossible and our moods tend to vary a lot. This unit will give us some more phrases to express our moods and to enquire of others how they are feeling.
Sunnd is a nice word. It means “cheerfulness, good humour”; you will see below how it is used in conversation. As often happens with Gaelic nouns, the addition of an -ach ending turns it into an adjective — sunndach, which means “lively, in good humour”.
And just as we say tha mi gu math for “I am well”, using the adjective math, we say tha mi gu sunndach for “I am in fine form” — don’t forget the gu. We hope you will be gu sunndach at the end of this unit!
