Actually, I wondered for a long time already:
how is "comhghairdeas" pronounced, I mean the -mhgh- part? is it as if -ngg- was written or somehow different?

Not sure I understand or can give a good answer, but I think it is usally pronounced as though it were two words comh - ghairdeas. |

Agus an bhéim chéanna ar an gcéad agus ar an dara siolla. Mar sin a deirim é, ar aon nós.

In Ulster we say "comhghairdeachas": có-ghair-dea-chas. Chuirfinnse béim ar an chéad siolla, ach níl mé iomlán cinnte siocair nach bhfuil cuimhne agam an focal sin a chluinstean ó chainteoir dhúchais...

Tá an focal sin agam freisin, ach is cosúil go bhfuil sé geal le bheith imithe as an scríobh poiblí.
Focal fhoirmeálta, nach bheadh coitianta sa ghnáth caint is ea comhghaird(each)as |

Ná bí ag spochadh as. Is ann a d'fhoghlaim sé Gaeilge, agus ionannaíonn sé é fhéin go láidir le Gaoth Dobhair.
Tuige ná déanadh? Pé scéal é, braithim dul na Fraincise ar an nath úd aige, agus níl sé chomh aisteach sin dá bharr. |

Bhí mé i láthair, agus bhuail mé leis an aire. Bhí an-oíche againn. Agus tá an leabhar a chur Hilar agus Eibhlín le chéile de cholún Bharra go breá. |
