Scottish Gaelic[edit]
Verb[edit]
- agree with
- Cha robh sin a' còrdadh rium. ― That didn't agree with me.

Usage notes[edit]
This verb, which expresses agreement, indirectly expresses enjoyment using the common construction: "[object enjoyed] agrees with [subject]". In English it is most natural to say "[subject] enjoys [object]", but it is common in Scottish Gaelic to use còrd ri rather than the verb meal = "enjoy".
