Tá an cheist seo chasta, ghasta!!



Bhí éan ar bhruach Loch Léin ag lorg bia - ag seiftiú dá trí ghearrcaigh.Rug an t-éan cat leis thar n-ais go dtí an nead. D'ith an cat na gearrcaigh. Tháinig an cat beo agus slán abhaile.

B'fhéidir? Urchar an daill?

quote:

Is an domhan é.

Is é an domhan é.

If it's indefinite, then the noun comes first:

is buachaill mé
is fear mé
is iascaire mé


If it's definite, then the pronoun comes first:

Is mé an t-iascaire
Is mé an snámhaí
Is mé an t-eagarthóir


Strangely enough, when you have 3rd person singular pronouns, they get get repeated when dealing with definites:

Is é an t-iascaire é
Is í an t-eagarthóir í


Don't be afraid to use other constructions though:

Tá sé ina dhornálaí
Eagarthóir atá ann
Iascaire is ea é

The issue of usage is not what I had in mind when I posted that ersatz riddle, but while we’re on the subject, I have a question about abstract nouns which may be a clue to the riddle. As I understand it, in Irish the abstract noun is preceeded by the definite article. Thus “an saol” might be translated as “the life: or simply “life.” Do I have this correct? If so, the presence of the definite article in the answer opens the door on several plays on words.

By the way, the answer to the riddle is concealed after the fashion of The Purloined Letter

Is ait an mac an saol.

Ní ciall ag an tomhas taobh amuigh de "Is ait an mac an saol."

Dá bhrí sin:

Life is the world.
The world (in this context) is an abstract, living thing;
My world (my life) is my son.
It is also a very strange (ait) son.
My son is not a place.
And so:
Is ait an mac an saol.

PS: I believe the use of the definite article before mac agus saol indicates that the nouns are abstract

Although I'd qualify that and say can indicate. The case for saol is clear, I'm not so sure about mac.

quote:

The case for saol is clear, I'm not so sure about mac.

Is ait an mac an saol

Tá na habairtí seo ar aon dul leis:

Is ait an duine Marc.
Is deas an teach é.
Is tábhachtach an cheist í sin.

Níl "an odd man, a nice house, an important question" teibí sa leagan Béarla ar chor ar bith. Sa bhunleagan Gaeilge, tá "an duine, an teach, an cheist" definite gan dabht dá laghad, a bhuí leis an alt, ach is follas nach bhfuil siad abstract.

Beidh orainn téarma nua a cheapadh. Is léir gur "types" nó "classes" (an saor cláir ionam) atá i gceist le duine, teach agus ceist in abairtí Dennis.

Céard is ciall le is deas an teach é ? Dar leis na Bráithre (§204), is aidiacht fhaisnéiseach atá in deas san abairt seo. Má tá an ceart acu, mar is iondúil, an ionann is deas an teach é agus tá an teach go deas ? Níl mé cinnte. Bheinn níos sásta le is teach deas é mar "aistriúchán". Nó i bhfocail eile, "is ball den aicme tithe deasa é".

Abstract, definite, predicate, attributive.... mo dhon is mo dhoghrainn orthu mar théarmaí a sheasann idir muidne agus úsáid nádúrtha na teanga!

I ndáiríre, tá neart abairtí Béarla simplí ann nach féidir linn aistriú go Gaoluinn muna mbíonn comhthéacs againn, toisc go bhfuil rudaí mar bhéim agus mar scoilteacht againn sa Ghaoluinn.

-- Fáilte Roimh Cheartú --
Muna mbíonn téarma Gaoluinne agaibh ar rud éigin, bígí cruthaitheach! Ná téigí i muinín focail Bhéarla a úsáid, údar truaillithe é sin dod chuid cainte.

Ní ionann.

Aicme! sin focal deas, a thagan gar don rud a bhí a ra agam thuas. Tá súil agam nach gcuirfear aicmeachas i mo leith anois.

Réitíonn an Bás gach rud! Ach cabhraíonn an saol.

Tá do thomhas go maith, ach is dóigh liom go bhfuil sé níos fusa do foghlaimeoir an fhreagra fheiscint; bíonn cainteoir líofa "ar adhastar ag an mbrí" mar a dúirt an Ríordánach seal.
