Hello all.

I've been listening lately to RnaG, and often I understand some whole sentences.

In between, I heard the announcers saying something that sounded like "nach nach" or "neach neach" or a combination of both.

Can anyone reading this thread tell me what it means?

Thanks in advance.

well going from context i'd say they mean "isn't it" or something similar-have to get someone a bit more proficient than me though, for a definitive answer!

Bhuel,

Nach means not and Neach means being,
but if its used " nach,nach or neach,neach" I would not have a clue what they mean,
as not,not or being,being does not mean anything, it would have to be in a sentence to make more sense.

B'fhéidir gur intriacht cheiste a chuala tú:

... An ea? An ea? An ea?

In conversation you may only pick up the very common interjection given in one syllable:

In some else's ortography:
Nya, nya, nya?
or: Nja, nja, nja?

Ádh mór.

"Nach ndeachaigh"?

That's my guess...

Le meas, Paul

Sílim gur chuala ár gcara David "nach mbeadh" mar "nach mbeadh sé ansin."

I think our friend David heard "that would not be" as in "that he would not be there."
