This article describes the grammar of the Scottish Gaelic language. ==Grammar overview== Gaelic shares with other Celtic languages a number of interesting typological features:〔See Celtic languages#Characteristics of Celtic languages.〕 * Verb–subject–object basic word order in simple sentences with non-periphrastic verbal constructions, a typological characteristic relatively uncommon among the world's languages. * conjugated prepositions (traditionally called "prepositional pronouns"): complex forms historically derived from the fusion of a preposition + pronoun sequence (see Prepositions below) * prepositional constructions for expressing possession and ownership (instead of a verb like English ''have''): :Tha taigh agam — "''I have a house''" (lit. "''A house is at me''") :Tha an cat sin le Iain - "''Iain owns that cat''" (lit. "''Is the cat that with Ian''") * emphatic pronouns: Emphatic forms are systematically available in all pronominal constructions (See Pronouns below). :Tha cat agadsa ach tha cù agamsa – "''You have a cat but I have a dog''" 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scottish Gaelic grammar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
