Ciamar a tha thu fhèin?

In Scottish Gaelic, you would say "Ciamar a tha thu fhèin?" to ask "How are you yourself?" It's a warm, friendly way to inquire about someone's well-being after they first ask you.

in lenition, the pronunciation changes….. so here, the F is dropped, leaving only the H.

Ciamar a tha thu fhèin (kimmer a ha oo hayn)

I said…"Tha mi gu math" means very well or good. It literally means "I am well," and "Tha mi glè (very) mhath" means very well…..notice the lenition and the extra h math (ma) becomes mhath (va)

Tha Gàidhlig agad….You speak Gaelic?

…oh….
