"Where are you from, Beth?"

Translation: Cò às a tha thu, a Bheathag?

[bairnies]

Tell me again, please, why we need the "a" in front of persons' names.

[phoenix7777777]

When we are talking to a person, we add an 'a' in front of their name. And lenite (as well as slenderise where necessary) the name when needed, of course. https://duome.eu/tips/en/gd

When talking about a person, we don't.

That's all.

Happy learning!
