còrd ri

Scottish Gaelic

Verb

còrd ri

  1. agree with, accord with, enjoy
    Cha robh sin a' còrdadh rium. ― That didn't agree with me.
    Chan eil fìon a' còrdadh rithe. ― Wine doesn't agree with her.

Usage notes

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".
