Time for some levity

Bairille bán, agus dhá saghas bídh ann:

Cad é/What is it?

Freagra amárach nó amanathar

Note: bídh is the genetive of biadh, the old spelling of bia. Still heard in speech.

Sin é, a Dennis.

Ceann níos deacra anois, a chuala ar Cuideachta ar RnaG

Cuireadh ceist ar fhear faoi cosúlacht a chuid gasúr.
"Tá siad uilig rua, ach beirt.
Tá siad uilig fionn, ach beirt.
Tá siad uilig fionnrua, ach beirt"

Cé mhéad gasúr atá aige?

Silim go bhfuil an ceart ag Fear. An-cliste. Bain triail as a ceann seo.



Tháinig fear gan súile.
Chonaic sé úlla ar chrann.
Níor thóg sé úlla as.
Is níor fhág sé úlla ann.

Tháinig fear gan súile.

.i. ní raibh súile aige, ach súil amháin, .i. bhí sé ar leathshúil

Chonaic sé úlla ar chrann.

.i. ó nach raibh sé dall!

Níor thóg sé úlla as.

Ach thóg sé úll amháin.

Is níor fhág sé úlla ann.

Ach d'fhág sé úll amháin. Ní raibh ach dhá úll ar an gcrann ar dtús!

By the way, Aongus, you were particularly interested in seeing Modern Irish versions on the Quotations site www.sengoidelc.com
I have been slowly adding modern versions, and you should be able to locate them all by entering "modern" as a search term. I just did that and came up with 18 items.

Sorry 'bout the English but if I tried translating this for you than you'd never be able to get because you'd never be able to understand it in my "broken-Irish". Anyway, here's another riddle:

The man who invented it, doesn't want it.
The man who bought it, doesn't need it.
The man who needs it, doesn't know it.

Natalie,

An fear a níos é ní chaitheann sé é agus an fear a chaiteann é ní fheiceann sé é.

Leaba caol




Ceann eile


Tá sé amuigh agus tá istigh ach níl se amuigh nó istigh.

Bhí "fuinneog" agam mar fhreagra ach is dócha go bhfuil "doras" ceart freisin.

Sea, conra nó leaba caol.

Trí gé, a Aonghuis. Ceann i lar dhá cheann eile.

cónra nó leaba caol"

Now, I looked up most of that so I'm assuming that is my riddle translated for me(thanks by the way) and that coffin is the right answer! This is fun...but slightly more challenging for me considering riddles are hard enough when you understand the language they're being presented in...let alone a language I need my trusty dictionary for...Oh well!

Gafa agat atáimse! Is aoibhinn liom leasainmneacha oiriúncha don "thread" ach ba chór dom is dócha a bheith i mo bhall dlithiúil/dleathach don suíomh seo. Nuair atá an leasainm is oiriúnaí dom faighte agam b'fhéidir.

Idir an dhá linn, táim ag smaoineamh ar na dhá chapall déag bán.

Bhí mé ag smaoineamh ar fhiacla ach nach mbíonn níos mó na dhá fhiacal déag i mbéal duine? Tá trí chinn déag i mo bhéalsa dá laghad.

Maidir le fiacla, tá ortha in aghaidh galar fiacaile sa tSean-Ghaeilge a thosaíonn mar seo:

Cé go mbíonn na cait sásta go leor amuigh faoin gréine chomh maith.

Nílimse i ngrá le cait ach oiread. Níl fhios agam cén fath.

Tá seanchat agam, beagnach seacht mbliana déag d'aois anois, agus is cancrán cruthanta é. Tá crónán ollmhór aige a sheasfadh idir dhuine tuirseach agus codladh na hoíche. Is minic a dibríodh as an leaba dá bharr sin. Ach, murab ionann agus madra, ní gá é a thabhairt amach ag siúl maidin agus tráthnóna chuile lá, maith olc an aimsir!
