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

• corra uair (“occasionally”)
