I'm having difficulty figuring out the following constructions (in bold in the sentences below):

My dog is a dark grey...a color that is called "blue" by fanciers.

I live in an area known as the San Lorenzo Valley.

Arnold Schwartzenegger is often referred to as "The Governator" by Californians.

I know the passive voice doesn't always translate well into Irish, so the active voice would work as well:

Fanciers call my dog's color "blue"

Californians often refer to Arnold Schwartzenegger as "The Governator"

Any input appreciated.

Tagraíonn muintir Chalifornia do Schwarznegger mar "An Governator" go minic.
