Usage notes

  • Used before a noun; dhà is used when free-standing (counting, telling a row of numerals etc).
    Tha dà chàr aige. ― He has two cars.
    Tha a dhà aice cuideachd. ― She has two as well.
    Fòn a h-aon, a h-aon, a dhà! ― Phone one-one-two!
  • The following noun is always lenited, and traditionally in the singular dative case, though this rule is not universally followed nowadays.
    balach ― boy → dà bhalach ― two boys
    cailleag ― girl → dà chaileig ― two girls
  • The definite article, if used, is in the singular form:
    an dà chaileig ― the two girls
  • If followed by a pronoun, the pronoun is in the plural:
    an dà dhiubh ― the two of them
    Bhiodh e na b' fheàrr nan gabhadh an dà rud an dealachadh. ― It would be better if the two things could be separated.
