Hi guys!

After years of loving Ireland and learning Irish from distant France, I have the great pleasure to inform ye that I moved to Ireland at last! :.) Now, as the great language lover I am, I'd like to have a bilingual answer machine on my phone! :.)This is the message I wrote down so far and thought to record, is it in correct Irish? I don't want my native speaker friends to tell me it's incorrect! Well, here goes:

"Hi, Batshèva Battu ata ann. Nil mé ar fail faoi lathair ach fag treachtaireacht domh agus bi cinnte go mbeidh mé ag cur scairt ar ais ort! Slan!"

OK. Correct? Incorrect? Batshèva Battu is my real name out of here by the way so no need to put that in better Irish lol.

Go rabh mile maith agaibh.

Niamh. :.)

Failte go hÉirinn!


Hi, Batshèva Battu ata annanseo. Níl mé ar fáil faoi láthair ach fág treachtaireacht domh agus bí is cinnte go mbeidh mé ag cur gcuirfidh mé scairt ar ais ort! Slán


You can get it spoken at www.abair.ie - but make sure you have the accents in!

Hi!

Funny that, I'd sort of half corrected it in my head (but not as fully as you, my other version was still incorrect) as soon as I'd posted this. It's always like that, I post something and then I think "Gosh, I know exactly where I made mistakes!" :.)
I won't have a problem speaking it though. Believe it or not, I have extremely decent spoken Irish just sometimes it's hard to get my head around saying certain things: I'm certainly not used to answer machines in Irish, hence my difficulty at finding the right words!
Having said that, I didn't know you could have things spoken through a website. What a wonderful link! Thanks a million! and thanks a million for correcting me also! adh mor. Niamh. :.)

Níor mhiste liom 'scéala' a shá isteach ann, a chairde, is 'teachtaireacht' a tharraingt as.


Is é do bheatha go hÉirinn a Niamh.

Ní thuigim. Cad tá cearr le "teachtaireacht", a Smac?

A Niamh a chara,
Maith an bhean! Ta tu adhuil.

Beir bua agus beannacht

Níl faic cearr leis, ach tá scéala níos deise, níos nádúrtha.

Go raibh maith agat, a Aonghus.

Go rabh mile maith agaibh as bhur bhfreagrai deise! Caithfidh mé a ra go bhfuil mé iontach sasta le bheith i mo chonai in Eirinn anois! Nil mé ann ach ag deanamh cursa ardchéime san Ollscoil ach anois ta suil agam go mbeidh mé abalta taighde (as in, PHD) a dheanamh ansin fosta mar si aoibhinn liom an saol ata agam san ollscoil anseo agus ba mhaith liom a bheith ag fanacht in Eirinn ma is feidir fosta. Go rabh maith agaibh as an cunamh leis an teachtaireacht do mo fon fosta. Beidh mé ag smaointiu fuibh agus mise ag taifeadadh ar mon fon é! Adh mor. Niamh. :.)
