Well, I just made a disappointing and somewhat depressing trip to a local music store that specializes in out-of-the-ordinary items.

The Irish section was one of the largest, yet I could find almost nothing that had music IN IRISH. A few CD's had a handful of songs, but there was not a single one that was exclusively in Irish.

So, can anybody make recommendations that I can perhaps find and buy online? Contemporary anything would be best; my musical tastes are eclectic... just no rap or hip-hop (hopefully this does not yet exist in Irish and never will!)

Many of Ireland's biggest talents have recorded songs in Irish thanks to Seachtain na Gaeilge's work - Sooner or later one these songs will have chart success..

Feicim sa foclóir Dé Bhaldraithe gurbh é galánta "posh", ach conas deirtear "poshness" as Gaeigle?

galántaiocht? (Rinne mé an focal sin).

From Ó Dónáill's Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla:

ardnósach: Grand, pompous; formal

feiliúnaí: (no listing)

galánta: 1. Gallant, fine.... 2. Elegant, refined.... 3. Affectedly stylish: tony, posh. Canúint ghalánta, genteel, posh, accent.

I also see in Ó Dónáill's:

galántacht Gallantry, courtliness, refinement of manners. 2. Elegance, stylishness, gentility. 3. Affected gentility.

So, although the dictionary doesn't use posh in its definition of galántacht, it looks like it might fit for "poshness" since it's root is "galánta" and the third definition implies poshness.

feiliúint [ainm briathartha][ainmfhocal baininscneach]
oiriúint; gar a dhéanamh (feiliúint do dhuine).

Foirmeacha Dírithe :
feiliúnach [aidiacht den chéad díochlaonadh]
feiliúnacht [ainmfhocal baininscneach den tríú díochlaonadh]


Galánta does not imply (for me) any negative connotations, at least on it's own; posh and ardnós(ach) do.

The word "galànta" seems to have the same root as the french word "galanterie", which has absolutely no negative connotations in french (on the contrary, "un homme galant" is a gentleman who is most of the times appreciated by women... ) , but "posh" has surely got a bad connotation in english.
That was just to add something...

Here we go with another loan word. In my posting above I thought I would just report what I found in the dictionary. It's been pointed out recently that you can't learn a language with a dictionary, but I'm under the impression that Ó Dónáill's Foclóir Gaeilge-Bearla is held in high regard, so I'm wondering why he included the definition of posh for galánta, and affected gentility for galántacht. I know this is pure conjecture, but he must have had some reason to do so.

I suppose usage changes. Also, he has "posh" quite far down the list of meanings.

I've noticed in some instances in talking with fellow English speakers, that everyone seems to have a threshold of how many definitions she or he is willing to accept for a given word. I suppose to some folks being third and last is "quite far" down the list. Personally, I think the more valid definitions the merrier, but that's only me and may be slightly posh to do so.

I wonder if there are people who are uni-definitional. That is, they only accept the first definition of a given word.

There are; and the results of their translations are frequently unintentionally humorous.

By the way, I wrote "Bheadh ardnósach níos feiliúnaí do posh, agus ardnós do poshness"

I'm not saying galánta doesn't have that meaning at all, but that to me ardnós would be clearer.
