An féidir le éinne cabhair tabhairt? Aimsíos an seana-rá so agus nílim ábalta Béarla cuir air.

"Gach bliain dá dtigeann ag dul i bhfliche is i ndéanaighe; gach dram dá dtigeann ag dul i mine is i mbréagaighe."

Tuigim na focail go léir, ach ní fheicim aon chiall ann.

Go raibh maith agat

FRC - Nílim ach im fhoghlaimeoir!

quote:

"Gach bliain dá dtigeann ag dul i bhfliche is i ndéanaighe; gach dram dá dtigeann ag dul i mine is i mbréagaighe."

Seo agat é focal ar fhocal ar dtús:

every year of-all-that-which comes at going i wetness and in lateness; every dram of-all-that-which comes at going in tinyness and in deceitfulness (?).

Seo mar a thuigim é, cé nach bhfuil mé céad faoin gcéad cinnte de:

Every year that comes getting wetter and later; every dram that comes getting smaller and more false.

Feiceann súil ghruama saol gruama? An é sin é? Cá bhfuair tú é?

dram=dream, it is Múscraí's pronunciation with broad consonant.

The source is venerable "Irish of West Muskerry".

The problem with this proverb - I don't understand grammar of it. Is initial "tá" omitted from both statements?

go raibh maith agat, a Dhonncha

It's implied - proverbs often abbreviate.
