"They are as happy as a shoe."

Translation: Tha iad cho sona ri bròig.

[SharonPott10]

What is the difference between toilichte and sona--either in sense or in usage?

[I198kCZs]

I can't answer your question but I looked up "happy" in the dictionary on Learngaelic.scot and found some interesting phrases. My favourite was "cho sona ri òthaisg" which is apparently "as happy as a five to twelve month old sheep"!
