Just wondering if there'd be a translation for New York or New York City? maybe New Amsterdam?
Thank you very much |

New York = Nua Eabhrac ( an chathair - the city)
New York = Nua Eabhrac ( an stát - the state)
City = Cathair
State = Stát
Fáilte romhat, Welcome |

Actually, Nua-Eabhrac.
Tá an fleiscín ann le focal amháin a dhéanamh den dá pháirt, mar ní féidir aidiacht a chur roimh ainmfhocal gan comhfhocal a dhéanamh díobh. Sin riail dhocht.
sean + duine > seanduine
nua + Gaeilge > Nua-Ghaeilge
dearg + bréag > deargbhréag
etc. |

Gabh mo leithscéal. Tá sé mícheart ag De Bhaldraithe (1959) freisin mar sin. |

Tá. Ní bhíonn saoi gan locht. ;-) Rinne sé eisceacht de gan fáth. Tá an fleiscín ann san fhoclóir Collins. |

Should we translate foreign place names and people's names? Mr. Tanaka's name would translate to Mr. In The Paddy Field and that makes no sense to me. I think Mr. Tanaka shouldn't be required to change his name. Should we translate Brooklyn and Amsterdam? Céard a cheapann sibh? Fáilte roimh tuairimí. |

Bhí ainm Ghaeilge ann le fada ar York Shasana - is as sin a tháining Nua Eabhrac.
Uaireanta an freagra a bheadh agamsa ar do cheist! |
