like speaking french... you say 'tres mal' and take the mal, add an aig and you've gotten it.

I was in Mallaig for a while a couple of weeks ago... I had this lesson myself, I said it differently every time, but this is right!

The locals pronounce it 'Ma - lag' - rhymes with Stalag (as in German P.O.W. )

I love the place, although I'm not there often enough and I'm far from a local myself.
