Siotaí láidir gaoithe inniu, agus an muir ar dhath liath-NATO, seachas eacha Mhannainn.

Ag múráil chomh maith.

Bhí sé tirim anseo inniu, ach beidh an bháisteach ar ais amárach, agus sneachta arú amárach. Faigheann muid 1.19" de bháisteach ar an méan idir 1 Eanáir agus 7 Eanáir, ach fuair muid 5.07" i mbliana. Tús fliuch le 2007! Is maith an rud é. Tá go leor sneachta sna sléibhte anois, rud a chiallaíonn gur dócha nach mbeidh aon easpa uisce againn sa samhradh.

Cad é an Ghaeilge ar snow pack?

Táim i New Orleans faoi láthair le haghaidh comhdhála mhatamaitice. Bhí sé deas greannmhar tirim anseo. Níl a fhios agam cé chomh te a bhí sé, ach bhí mé sách sómasach amuigh agus léine gearrmhuinchilleach orm.

Tá áthas orm go raibh aoibh ar an aimsir. (Bhain sin gáire deas sláintiúil asam. GRMA!)

"Aisteach" an bhrí den fhocal a bhí i gceist agam, ar ndóigh... is ait liom a bheith lasmuigh gan chóta i lár an gheimhridh.

(Ach bhí sé grianmhar freisin, now that you mention it!)

Since the all of you keep using greannmhar it got me thinking. Can I use that word for funny as in humorous, entertaining, makes me laugh or is that really not OK? If Roman is the only one who is apposed to me using it for that purpose then I want to use it but if everyone says I ought not to then I won't. Let me know le bhur dtoil.

Tá sé ceart go leor! Ceapaim nach bhfuil an bhrí eile coitianta.

Hmm.

Níl snow pack ag focal,

dlúth sneachta?

Ríona sea bain úsáid as Greannmhar!

Scléipeach - Hilarious.

Bhí sé chomh te leis an earrach ar an deireadh seachtaine seo i Nua-Eabhrac. 72 céim F. a bhí ann! An-aisteach don am seo bliana. Bhí mé lasmuigh ag caitheamh t-léine. Inniu, tá sé cuíosach fuar, agus bhí hata, cóta, lámhainní agus scaif orm. Ach níl an aimsir chomh fuar agus a ba chóir go fóill. Tá plandaí ag fás, agus níl na feithidí ag fáil bháis. Táimid ag súil le haimsir fhuar - rud annamh sin, freisin!

Scríobh Riona: Since the all of you keep using greannmhar it got me thinking. Can I use that word for funny as in humorous, entertaining, makes me laugh or is that really not OK?

A Riona, a chara,

Since the discussion about greannmhar arose in another thread in regard to your well-appreciated remark about my first successful attempt at humour, I thought I'd comment. Everywhere I've looked, in books, dictionaries, online, etc., I've found that the first and primary definition of greannmhar is humourous. I think it's good that we learners become familiar with synonyms for words, but I'm convinced that unless the context is obviously to the contrary, there's no reason not to use greannmhar for humorous.

I think that the use of greannmhar is directly analogous to the English word funny. If someone says something humorous, and the listener responded with "you're funny," it's obvious that the listener meant that the person was humorous, and not something else.

In the movie Sling Blade, there's a scene where the main character, played by Billy Bob Thorton, makes the remark funny, ha ha funny. But in that context, it's obvious that he wasn't referring to someone being humorous, so no one would mis-construe the use of funny in that context also. See the movie if you get a chance; it's a very interesting study of human nature at its best and worst, and also Billy Bob at his best in terms of acting.

Anyway, that's my two cents. I'd just like to add... isn't it funny how words can mean different things depending on context?

Aisteach, go deimhin.

Barrúil uaireanta. Ní mór a bheith grinn chun an fear grinn a aithint!

Dála an scéil, tá sé fuar go leor anois i Nua-Eabhrac!

Go maire sibh é! Ach tá sé níos fuaire abhus anseo, agus tá clúdach sneachta ar an domhan chomh maith. Muidne níos fuaire ná sibhse, nyah, nyah, nyah!

Muidne níos fuaire ná sibhse, nyah, nyah, nyah!

Maith thu a Dhennis. Is e an aimisir an rud is fearr chun comhra intleachtach a spreagadh - and not a dative plural in sight ;)

Agus léann muid níos mó leabhar i Seattle freisin, i gcomórtas le Nua-Eabhrac! :-)
