Go raibh maith agat, a hAonghuis. No doubt it was our spiffy Web design that contributed to Daltaí's second place finish ;-) Caoimhín Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam.

Congratulations DnaG! On a side note, I noticed it said: "2ú Duais Daltaí na Gaeilge, Meiriceá" and I've seen "2ú" before. Doesn't that stand for "dara"? So it seems that Irish uses the "-ú" suffix for all numbers (including ones that actually end with that suffix, such as "ceathrú" and "cúigú"), regardless of their actual ending (such as "dara" being abbreviated as "2a"). This is different from English where you'd use "1st" "2nd" "3rd" "4th", etc. rather than 1th, 2th, 3th, 4th. |
