In Gaelic, you will often see surnames beginning with Mac or Nic.
Mac is for boys.
Nic is for girls.
In Gaelic, we use a different form of you when speaking to different people.
When speaking to someone around the same age as you, or someone younger, you say: Dè an t-ainm a th’ ort?
When speaking to someone older or being polite, you would say, Dè an t-ainm a th’ oirbh?
Practice Dè an t-ainm a th’ ort? on your friends and Dè an t-ainm a th’ oirbh? on your teacher and your parents.
