"lòn – sounds similar to "lo..an."

So, "Dh'ith mi lòn" translates to "I ate lunch" in English.

Dreamies are cat snacks.

"le" is another way of saying "with" it means "next to" rather than the affectionate "còmhla ri" (pronounced cola ri) which means "around" in English.

But "Còmhla ri" is used to express being in the company of someone or something, indicating companionship, presence, or association. For example, "Tha mi aig an taigh còmhla ri Ptofi" translates to "I am at home with ptofi." It's a phrase that embodies connection and togetherness.
