còrd ri
Scottish Gaelic
Verb
còrd ri
- be liked, enjoyable, agreeable
- A bheil i a' còrdadh riut? ― Do you like her?

Usage notes
The experiencer (often corresponding to the subject of the equivalent sentence in English) is expressed as the object of the preposition ri. The sentence Cha robh sin a' còrdadh rium could be literally translated as "That did not please me" or "That was not enjoyable to me", but "I didn't enjoy that" is the most natural way to say this in English.
