I was wondering if anyone could tell me the correct pronunciation of Fear dóiteáin (fireman) and Feadh do shaoil (for life) How would those two be put together to form a sentence is there an order? I'm completely new at this. Thank you so very much! Also, does anyone know of an English-Irish dictionary online that has phonetic display of pronunciation in Irish? Englishirishdictionary.com doesn't give you the pronunciation of it...at least I can't figure it out. Thanks! |

Fear dóiteáin /f'ar do:t'an'/ (farr daw-t-yahn) Feadh do shaoil /f'aw do hi:l'/ (fow doh hee-il) Fireman for file > I'd say "fear dóiteáin go héag" (farr daw-t-yahn guh hayg) There's only one dictionary with pronounciation so far: an Foclóir Póca (=the pocket dictionary), edited by An Gúm. It is English-Irish and vice-versa. It gives a kind of standardized phonological pronounciation (not so good because it's an artificial pronounciation, but can help beginners). |
