Is fearr Gaeilge ḃriste ná Béarla cliste, cinnte, aċ i ḃfad níos fearr aríst í Gaeilge ḃinn ḃeo na nGaeltaċtaí.
Gaeilge Chonnacht (GC), go háraid Gaeilge Chois Fhairrge (GCF), agus Gaeilge an Chaighdeáin Oifigiúil (CO).

NIl a fhios agam conas a usaid an siomh. Nuair a chuir mé mo chursor ós ceann an fócloir in iris ní tharlionn tada.

I do not know how to use the site. When I put my cursor over the word in the magazine nothing happens.

Cad is brí an frasai sin?

"Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste, cinnte, ach i bhfad níos fearr aríst Gaeilge bhinn bheo na nGaeltachtaí"

Ní thuigim.

Slán anois,

Looks like it's better broken Gaeilge than clever English, sure, but way better again sweet Gaeilge live than the Gaeltachts. don't know if I understand this correctly.

"Is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste, cinnte, ach i bhfad níos fearr aríst Gaeilge bhinn bheo na nGaeltachtaí"
Better broken Irish than clever English, but much better again the sweet, living Irish of the Gaeltachts.

At least, that's what I intended it to mean - the phrase was never officially checked by anyone.

Put the cursor over the words with the dotted lines underneath and the English translation should appear.
