Usage notes

• Scottish Gaelic doesn't have a verb equivalent to English have: possession is expressed using the preposition aig.

  Tha càr ùr aig an teaghlach. ― The family has a new car. (literally, “A new car is at the family.”)

• The word aig and its derivates are also often used to express possession attributively instead of possessive pronouns:

  an taigh agam ― my house (literally, “the house at me”)

Derived terms

• ag, a'
