It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

Hmmm errrr.... what exactly is "total bullshit"? Think I'm missing something. She just told me it was a "voice actress". I haven't a clue.

Beidh mé Feic tú sa Neamh, David = total bullshit

Tuigim...... Ní raibh a fhios agam cad a bhí cac tairbh.

If it is 'cac tairbh', would it be 'caicín lao'? viewtopic.php?f=28&t=959&p=7141&hilit=caic%C3%ADn#p7141

And if you were giving someone a "bum steer" would that be a bullán tóna ?

Coming back in on the end of this and I must say you guys totally lost me...

But early on, great advice as usual. You all have such a great way of explaining things that somehow sticks in my head, much more than reading a textbook. I think because it just makes sense, and anything that makes sense is going to stick with me (like the whole needing two articles in that sentence and that "ch" should be the sound in loch). These straightforward examples are exactly how I learn, and I will always remember these specific examples so thank you.

And thanks Bríd for making fliuch a focal an lae. I'm trying to relearn it your way but it's hard--I've heard that Buntús Cainte Lesson One so many times. It's also hard because you're a native speaker and so are the people on Buntús Cainte, but they say that word so differently than you... ugh...

Sorry that was my fault. I commented on another separate topic on TalkIrish.


Don't worry that my pronunciation is different to Buntús Cainte.
They just have a different dialect. So you can stay with that one.


But the "Focal an Lae" does seem to be wrong as both Lughaidh and Redwolf say it's not what is expected from Donegal Irish.

Sorry Mimerim: We have a little touch of collective ADD (and I don't mean the math kind) here on this forum. We jump from this to that readily. Now that I have a doggie I would describe it as perhaps "puppy-itis". We play with this linguistic toy until a better looking thing to chew on comes into our vision. Bríd apologized but she spends so much time around dogs she can't help herself. I'm getting pretty bad about it myself as well. Now.... I need to go get "fliuch" while "tógaim cith" so I can go into the office today. (trying to stay on topic) By the way Breandán, can you please add a running or chewing brown toy dachsund to the animations.
