OK...so I'm raising a 20 month old boy. As you can imagine, there are numerous occasions to use helpful prhases such as-
Don't touch!
Sit down!
Come here!
Etc...I've got the last two but am not exaclty certain on the possible idiomatic nature of the first one. Any help would be appreciated, and of course, any other "useful" phrases for a toddler would be most welcome!
Mise,
James

quote:Súigh síos recte: Suigh síos. No long 'ú' as in "moon"; rather a short one as in "book" quote:Come here - Tar chugam Also Tar anseo. Agus Gabh i leith. This latter one is common in Conamara, and maybe elsewhere, and goes all the way back to Old Irish.

In my journey through the archives I recently came across the part where you mention your coming child and thinking about names. What did you end up naming him?

James, a chara,
Have you checked into the book and cassette
set BunGhaeilge do Thuismitheoirí?
Litriocht.com has it.
I've got a copy and it's great. It was created for parents sending their kids to Gaelscoileanna who want to learn common everyday phrases
to use with their kids.
It's got a lot of phrases like 'Be careful!' and 'Stay away from the fire.'
I think you'll like it.
Note: not everything that's in the book is on the tape.
That could be viewed as a flaw, but myself, I have nothing but praise for it.
Céad slán, Paul |
