HAS ABYONE GOT INFO ON MICHEAL O RUAIRC...ANY INFO AT ALL

Shay,

I sense your frustration. However, knowing most of the regulars here, I would guess their silence indicates they have no info. I searched the internet, myself, and was not able to come up with anyhing. Just wanted to let you know you're not being ignored.

Tá bron ... agam

D.

I'm not correcting you, I just assume you would like to know:

Emotions are on you

Tá brón orm
Tá fearg orm

There's a few exceptions:

Tá grá agam
Tá meas agam
Tá fuath agam (I think)
Tá trua agam

There's only about 4 or 5 exceptions.

Go raibh maith agat, a Phil.

What about buíochas? At, on, with? Tá buíochas agam, orm, liom? I guess this is the kind of thing that only comes from living with native speakers. One consolation is that someone knew what I meant which means I was close. Close counts in horse shoes; how about Irish?

Slán,
D.

The difference is that you would have love, respect etc for something or body, whereas you can feel sad or angry with no particular object

So a complete sentence would be
Tá grá agam duit
Tá meas agam ort
Tá fuath agam duit
Tá trua agam duit

I would probably say
Táim buíoch díot - I am grateful to you
Or
Mothaím buíoch - I feel grateful (for general gratefulness)

An Foclóir Beag gives:
buíochas [ainmfhocal firinscneach den chéad díochlaonadh]
mothú nó léiriú báúlachta le duine ar cé chomh buíoch is atá tú de.

buíoch [aidiacht]
báúil le duine as fabhar éigin a rinne sé duit.

Tá grá agam duit
Tá meas agam ort
Tá fuath agam duit
Tá trua agam duit

"duit" and "ort" are interchangable.

Dia dhuit,

I posted info about Míchéal Ó Ruairc on Comhrá Oscailte as Gaeilge (Irish Only).
