The Irish talk with their hands, too.

Cén chaoi a "ndéarfá" na rudaí seo le do lámha?

Tá sé sin daor!

Tá sé ólta.

Go raibh [do rogha meafar] leat!

Tá sé seo an-suimiúil ar fad.

Tugaim faoi deara go mbaineann cuid de na gothaí ansin le réimse níos leithne ná an Fhrainc amháin. Mar shampla uimhir 8, rud a bheith ró-chostasach, déanann muidne Seicigh é chomh maith.

An rud céanna maidir le huimhir 4, méara a chomhaireamh. Ceapaim go ndéanann formhór mhuintir na hEorpa méara a chomhaireamh ón ordóg ar aghaidh seachas an treo eile. Is le tíortha an Bhéarla amháin a bhaineann an treo eile, dar liom.

Is mise,
