Cúis eile. Is minic a d'fhág fireannach agus bainneanach teach tabhairne i bhfochar a chéile... |

Bí cúramach anois, a hAonghus, ach cén fáth an imleoidís fear agus bean i bhfochar a chéile? An bhfuil sí báirseach? Nó meirdreach?
I'm not sure about "an imleoidís." I was reaching for "would they leave" |

Seans gurbh meirdreach eisean!
Nó báirseach agus báirseoir ag imeacht le chéile
Nach breá dóibh é, ag imeacht le chéile,
báirseach agus báirseoir

Confusion ormsa!
As far as I knew, "imigh" means "go", but the distance in question is far... so I usually translate it as "go away". "fág" I understand to mean "leave". Anyway, I didn't understand the joke when I read it:
Imíonn beirt Éireannach teach tábhairne... Fan bomaite; níl sin mar is ceart.
Two Irish people go away a pub... wait a minute; that's not right.
What exactly does it mean?

It was supposed to translate 2 Irishmen come out of (leave) a pub ... wait a minute; that can't be right.
The implication is that an Irishman would never leavew a pub. |

Anyhow, you can bet this joke won't be funny after we finish picking it to pieces. Since pick we will, do I understand that the preferred tense for expressing "would" is the future tense?
Cén fáth a n-imeodh fear agus bean ...
That is future tense, isn't it? |
