How do you say definitely in Scots Gaelic?

There isn't a single perfect equivalent of "definitely" in Scots Gaelic that captures all its nuances. The best translation depends heavily on context. Here are a few options, with slight differences in meaning:

* Gu cinnteach: This is probably the closest general equivalent. It implies certainty and confidence.

* Gun teagamh: This translates more literally to "without doubt" and carries a stronger emphasis on the lack of any uncertainty.

* Seadh: This simply means "yes," but in the right context, it can convey a definite affirmation.

* Mar sin: This means "so" or "thus," and can be used to imply a definite conclusion based on previous statements.

To choose the best word, consider the specific situation. For example:

* "Are you coming?" "Gu cinnteach." (Definitely.)

* "There's no doubt about it." "Gun teagamh." (Without doubt.)

* "Is that true?" "Seadh." (Yes, definitely.)

* "All the evidence points to this conclusion." "Mar sin, tha e cinnteach." (So, it's definite.)

In short, while there's no single word, gu cinnteach is a good starting point in most cases.
