We need more money. (in addition to what we have).   Gheibh sibh tuilleadh fiosrachaidh on oifis againn. You'll get further information from our office.   The preposition *de* may be used when 'more' is used partitively:   Tha tuilleadh is tuilleadh de luchd-turais a' tadhal ann a-nis. More and more tourists are visiting it now.   *Tuilleadh 's /is /agus*, when accompanied by an adjective, means 'too':   Tha e tuilleadh is bragail uaireannan. He is too boastful sometimes.   Bha am fàradh tuilleadh is goirid gus an uinneag a ruigsinn. The ladder was too short to reach the window.   It may be used without a following noun:   Bidh tuilleadh agam mu dheidhinn seo an ath sheachdain!   I'll have more about this next week!   Cailean Am Marcair Dubh Is i a' Ghàidhlig Cànan mo Dhùthcha.

I'm sorry, but in my hurry to be going away on a short trip, I made a small error.   Sgrìobh mi: Gheibh sibh tuilleadh fhiosrachaidh on oifis againn. You'll get further information from our office.   Bu chòir dhomh Gheibh sibh tuilleadh fiosrachaidh on oifis againn. a sgrìobhadh   I ought to have written: ----------------- i.e. there should be no lenition on the 'f'.   Mar sin leibh, Cailean Am Marcair Dubh Is i a' Ghàidhlig Cànan mo Dhùthcha.
