Вообще, поздравление с Пасхой по-русски звучит как "Христос воскрес(е)!", а ответом
служит "Воистину воскрес(е)!". ("Воскресе" - это церковно-славянская форма).

Я прочитал, что русские так говорят, но я подумал, мне лучше бы выбрать поздравление немного менее религиозное. Можно принципиально желать "Радостной Пасхи" или так совсем не говорят?

Я не слышал. Вряд ли такое существует. Можно сказать "(Поздравляю) с Пасхой!".

Не за что. Нельзя верить моему словарю.
"Не можно" не существует.

In Gaelic, I'm still working on unit 12, but I already had a look at unit 13, too. The main theme
of both units is numbers and counting, which is a very complicated matter in Gaelic. There is a traditional
vigesimal counting system and a modern decimal one. Moreover, there are several lenition rules to be obeyed
and most compound numbers surround the noun that's being counted which takes time getting used to. In
addition, several numbers take the singular of the noun instead of the plural, which is also confusing. I'll have to
work on that.

A final note for my teammates from Clan Lugus: I booked a five-day trip to Ireland the day before yesterday. I'll
visit a school friend of mine in Cork over Whitsun and I'll also see Dublin. Unfortunately, there's no time to go to
the Gaeltacht, but maybe I can spot some Irish nevertheless. It would be great to hear this language actually
spoken and maybe I could draw some parallels to Scottish Gaelic. In any case, I'm very much looking forward to
my trip to the motherland of the Gaels!


It's languages like Breton that make me laugh at anglophone learners of French who complain about soixante-dix
and quatre-vingt. And, most likely, you would be laughing at me if I complained about Breton counting (so I'll try
not to do that).

That's so exciting about your trip to Ireland! I'm sure you'll be able to find some spoken Irish. :)

Breton counting is just a whole new level of weird. But French does actually have a
regular decimal counting system, you just have to look outside of France to find it.
Actually that used to be the standard, but somehow the Breton influence won that
catfight and displaced the Romance system.

And whenever I'm too lazy to do that counting weirdness in French I just blame it on
"that's what they say in Belgium".

Josquin, what are the most complicated parts of Gaelic? I was thinking preposition
conjugation, but both Breton and Hebrew have it and it's not such a nightmare. How are
the verb tenses?

The Georgian system is entirely vigesimal as well, and it has nothing to do with Celtic
languages =D
