You might have noticed while doing this that the word “bronntanais” has two meanings. Of course they’re closely related, since both are based on “bronntanas” (gift).
bronntanais, gifts, as in “na bronntanais Nollag”
bronntanais, of (a) gift, as in “cárta bronntanais” (a gift card, lit. a card of gift)
Tá súil agam gur bhain tú sult as seo!
