He isn't so proud now.   Cha bhi seo a' tachairt cho tric a-nis. This doesn't happen so often now.   Note that when 'cho' precedes an adverb the 'gu' is dropped.   When 'so' means 'accordingly', 'therefore', thus' there is a variety of expressions, the simplest being 'mar sin'. e.g. Tha an obair deiseil. Mar sin tha sinn a' dol dhachaigh. The work is finished. So we are going home.   You could also use ' air an adhbhar sin' 'for that reason, hence, therefore' e.g. Tha an obair deiseil. Air an adhbhar sin tha sinn a' dol dhachaigh. The work is finished. So we are going home.   Cailean Am Marcair Dubh Is i a' Ghàidhlig Cànan mo Dhùthcha.
