How do you say, she did it 'on purpose'? A possible context would be where a child knocks down another's tower - not by accident, but 'on purpose'.

D'aonturas - - purposely. D'aonturas a rinne sí é. She did it intentionally

:yes:
That was my first thought too.

I think you can also say "Rinne sé in aonturas é".

In Ulster: dh'aon turas, pronounced as if it were "dhiontras".

Go raibh maith agaibh go léir. :GRMA: Níor chuala mé iad riamh.

Definitely a Munster idiom, I'd say. TYI has it as d'aon-ghnó.

aonturas appears to be more widespread, but as pointed out, it is in aonturas in Connemara and dh'aonturas up North.

FGB has (the mixed up) d'aon turas.

Dinneen has:

i n-aon-turas,i n-aon turas, ad., "purposely, of set purpose."
in aon-úim "purposely, of set purpose" (Con., spelling phonetic).

d'aon am "on purpose"
d'aon-ghnó, on purpose, for a joke; cf. d'aon-am
aon-ghnó, in phr., d'aon ghnó bhíos, "on purpose" I was, I meant it for a deliberate joke (pron.
d'ao-ghnó); d'aon ghnó chugat a bhíos, I was only joking at your expense.

Dinneen also has:
ar aon lus, on purpose
éan-toisc; d'éan-toisc, on purpose; lit., in one bulk.
as a riocht "by design, purposely"

Take your pick. :LOL:
