Nb:
'S e:
- 'S is a contraction of is, the copula verb meaning "is" in Gaelic.
- e is a pronoun meaning "it" or "he/she" (in this context, "it").
- Together, 'S e means "It is" in a literal sense, used to introduce or emphasize the subject.
a th':
- a is a relative pronoun, often translated as "that" or "which," used to introduce a relative clause.
- th' is a contraction of tha, the present tense of the verb "to be" (bi), meaning "is."
- Together, a th' means "that is" or "which is."
e.g. 'S e meas a th' ann an orainsear -> It is fruit that is in the orange.
The construction 'S e ... a th' ann an ... is idiomatic in Gaelic for expressing categorization or identity.

'An sin cat' vs 'Seo cat'
When using "sin" or "an sin" with a noun, the definite article "an" is typically included before "sin" to indicate definiteness (i.e., referring to a specific cat). So, "an sin cat" literally breaks down as "the that cat," which in natural English is "that cat."
An sin cat: Includes the definite article "an" because "sin" (that) requires it when used as a demonstrative with a noun to indicate a specific, distant object.
Seo cat: Does not use "an" because "seo" (this) is a standalone demonstrative that inherently indicates definiteness, so the structure is simply [demonstrative + noun].
The demonstrative "sin" (meaning "that") requires the definite article "an" (or its variations, like "an t-" for feminine nouns) when it modifies a noun to indicate a specific, often distant, object. This is a grammatical rule in Scottish Gaelic for the demonstrative "sin" in phrases like "an sin cat" ("that cat"). The article "an" confirms the specificity of the noun (e.g., a particular cat), and "sin" adds the sense of distance or pointing to "that" specific one.
