Etymology

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /t̪aː/

Numeral

dà (+ lenition, dative case)

1. two

Usage notes

• Used before a noun; dhà is used when free-standing (counting, telling a row of numerals etc).

  Tha dà chàr aige. ― He has two cars.

  Tha a dhà aice cuideachd. ― She has two as well.

  Fòn a h-aon, a h-aon, a dhà! ― Phone one-one-two!

• The following noun is always lenited, and traditionally in the singular dative case, though this rule is not universally followed nowadays.

  balach ― boy → dà bhalach ― two boys

  cailleag ― girl → dà chaileig ― two girls

• The definite article, if used, is in the singular form:

  an dà chaileig ― the two girls

• If followed by a pronoun, the pronoun is in the plural:

  an dà dhiubh ― the two of them

  Bhiodh e na b' fheàrr nan gabhadh an dà rud an dealachadh. ― It would be better if the two things could be separated.
