Conas a déarfaí 'Transgendered' as Gaeilge? Níl fíos agam conas aistriúchán a chur ar 'trans'. 'Bhfuil fíor dom le 'Traschineálach'?

Rinne mé lorg i gach foclóir tá agam agus sa foclóirí ar an idir-líon ach ní raibh rath ar bith agam.

Táim an bhrónach, níl ach Gaeilge donabhriste agam. Tá náire agam asti.

Le meas,
Evermind.

Oh, ceist eile, 'bhfuil seans agam gur chuirfeadh éinne aistriúcháin ar Transgenderism agus Transexuality?

GRMMA!

"How I wanted to break in, to that room beneath your skin, but all that would have to wait".

How deeply profound

"How deeply profound"

Is Suzanne Vega an amhránaí. Is breá lem croí í. :)

trasinscne ~ transgender

trasinscneachas ~ transgenderism

traschollaíocht ~ transexuality

And now that we are in this postmodern age, please refrain from been so passé as to correct me. How can I develop the perfect me that I am becoming, unless bathed in the hothouse vapour of friends?


This is my bite line:

---swings, chairs, enemies and elves: a form for the modern jawbone---

Now that means something!

"Is Suzanne Vega an amhránaí. Is breá lem croí í. :)"

Faire enough, makes more sense that way

Céard?!! Ní thuigim....

Is minic nach dtuigtear Jax. Tá amhras orm an dtuigeann sé é fhéin (nó sí í fhéin, ach deirfhinn gur firinscneach atá sé).

are we in this postmodern age?
the perfect becoming,
bathed in the hothouse vapour,
of swings, chairs, enemies and elves?

How I wanted to break a form for the modern jawbone,
beneath your skin...
but all that would have to wait...


Teenagers listen to this sort of made up stuff and pay €22 on CD, and more at gigs for the privalage

Bhuel ar aon nós, go raibh maith agat as do chabhair a chara! Is duine sound thú gan amhras.

Dammin, Aonghus, any earlier, and I could ahve put you in too!

Transexual elves,
breaking jawbones in hothouses,
Tá amhras orm an dtuigeann sé é fhéin...

Aonghus,
indeed! Next time your kids are doing a school play, you can do Moses!

And i can play the Philistine...

Jax,

You're a prick.

James, tá díoma orm go bhfuil tú ag éirí paistiúl. Is fear grinn é Jax, ceart go leor. Ach ní gá masla a chaitheamh leis.

Take it easy, James. One fool is all this forum can suffer and the post's been filled.

What's the intended translation of 'grinn' in the above cited post? I take it to be a compliment (incisive), which seems out of place in the thread.

what seems out of place to me here, is this kind of scapegoating...

Fear grinn is a clown. I don't see scapegoating here. People are expressing their views on someone's postings which they find offensive. Since the "ofender" is free to post as he pleases, the objectors are entitled to the same privilege.

Sin é. I find Jax to be a clown rather than malicious, and I am disappointed in James' reaction. In particular, his posting of an insult in three separate threads.

But that may be just the pompous prussian pedant in me surfacing again...

This reminds me of my kids when they were small. Sometimes they'd get into a hissing match they couldn't seem to get out of. I used to pull out a storybook. But I don't think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will sooth this bunch.

Cá bhfios. Tosnaigh ar scéal, a mhór an trua!

Maslaímis a chéile as Gaeilge!

Keep the insults in Irish and we'll all learn something!

Instead of "You're a prick", I recommend "Baistim faraor ort!" Now that's lovely! Not obscene, and more condescending than threatening. Easy to say, too:

BASH-chim fuh-REEEER ort.

GRMA, a Daisy for the translation of 'fear grinn,' which is apparently one of those idomatic expressions best learned in immersion. At any rate, I learned something from this thread.

Meanwhile, back in the old neighboorhood:

I remember James from the old days in the hood when most of the flame throwing was the product of neophyte enthusiasm for discovering and learning Irish coupled with a truly ardent love of country. (Give 'em hell, James.)

I liked you then, James, and that hasn't changed, largely because I admired your enthusiasm for Irish as well as the U.S. I suspect that enthusiasm has been transferred to what you call the 'neighborhood."

And I don't fault you for your reaction to the following reference to a member of your family. Where I come from 'dems fightin' words,' and unquestionably a deliberate and uncalled for insult.

Níos fearr, agus níos fearúla, a Mhór an trua! Lean ort, agus ná bíodh léan ort!
