In these examples you can learn how to ask someone where they are from as well as saying where you come from:
- Hello. I’m Malcolm.
- Hello, Malcolm. Where are you from?
- I'm from Glasgow. Where are you from? (literally: Where are you from yourself?)
- I'm from Paisley.
Note mise which is the emphatic form of mi. Further down the page you will meet sibhse which is the emphatic form of sibh. You will also meet chan eil, which is the negative equivalent of tha and means ""not" or "no"" .
- Do you live in Paisley?
- No. I live in Edinburgh. Do you live in Glasgow?
- Yes. I still live in Glasgow.
