Adjective

corra (comparative corra)

  1. odd, occasional
    corra phinnt còmhla ris na co-obraichean aige ― an occasional pint with his workmates
    mar a rinn iad corra uair eile ― as they did several other times/on several other occasions
Usage notes
  • Unlike the majority of Scottish Gaelic adjectives, corra precedes the noun and lenites it.
    Chan eil ach corra chothrom agam sin a dhèanamh. ― I only have an occasional opportunity to do that.
  • It can also convey the meaning of a few, but the following noun is still in the singular:
    corra bhliadhna fhathast ― a few years yet
