Yep. Oui. Sim. Tá mé (or Táim)

Interesting, there is no equivalent of 'Yes' in Gaelic. The question has to be answered directly.

So, in gaelic, "are you a piper" would have to have an answer "I am" or "I am not" - or maybe "it's none of your #@$@#@# business".

This comes across in "irish-english" - many Irish people do not use the word "yes" or "no" in English.

"Is that true?" - answer "It is" or "It isn't". (Or better "'Tis", or "'Tis not"

As ye raised the subject I am surprised to see that ye didnae know that since 1947 "yes and no" is commonly used in the school curricula...Tá agus Nil ....and nearly every Irish person I have known in my life can and do say Yes or No :boggle:

Yes.

As well as Northumbrian smallpipes and Cornish double pipes. And an assortment of non-pipe instruments.
Cheers,

Yes.

Several sets.

But a piper? No. Not until 2017.

Tell us something.: I am interested in the uilleann pipes and their typical -and broader- use. I have been composing and arranging for the instrument lately. I enjoy unusual harmonic combinations on the pipes. I use the pipes to play music of other cultures.

But is it not true that 'ta' and 'nil' literally transalte as "it is" and "it isn't"?
