Hi
Would anyone be so kind as to check the grammer in this passage. I think it's nearly 100% ceart go leor but just want to make sure.
Go raibh maith agat.
Tosaíonn an múinteoir ag canadh amhráin “ Ta mo lámha fuar”. Úsáideann sí geáitsí agus mím chun focail a mhúineadh. Spreagann sí na páistí chun é a chanadh. Míníonn sí focal “te” agus “fuar” le cabhair cóta, lámhainní, pictiúr den ghrian ag taitneamh agus ceann eile den ghaoth ag séideadh
Piocann an múinteoir beirt páistí le teacht go barr an ranga |

(what do you mean by "le teacht go barr an ranga" ?)

The top of the class = before the other pupils (ie. before the blackboard) ??
I can’t find that expression in my dictionary (English is not my 1st language), it mainly says top = top (of a mountain, etc, ie. the highest point) but it doesn't make sense here...

a theacht chun tosaigh = to come forward (ciall eile: to make progress)
ag barr an leathanaigh = at the top of the page

Go raibh maith agat
Could you check this please? I'm not sure about "go dtí an bhfeirm"
Chuaigh mé go dtí an bhfeirm, go an bhfeirm, go dtí an bhfeirm x2)
Is chonaic mé an caora,
Is chonaic mé an bó
Is chonaic mé an capall
Is chonaic mé an muc
Is chonaic mé an madra
Go raibh maith agat. |

go dtí an bhfeirm is right but typically Munster Irish (I dunno if you want to teach Munster Irish or Standard Irish...).
"go an bhfeirm" is wrong, should be "go dtí an bhfeirm" (or go dtí an fheirm in the standard).
Is chonaic mé...
an chaora
an bhó
an mhuc
By the way in Munster Irish, "chonaic mé" is "chonac" and "chuaigh mé" is "chuas".

Are you sure "go dtí an bhfeirm" is used in Munster, Lughaidh? As far as I know "go dtí" doesn't take the dative case anywhere - always the nominative.

I was just reading an article and it says "go dtí an fheirm". I think this maybe correct instead of "go dtí an bhfeirm! |

quote:Pronounced "chnuc" everywhere or is that only in West Cork? At least it's what people say in Corca Dhuibhne, Cleare Island and West Cork. For Iveragh and Waterford I don't know. quote:Are you sure "go dtí an bhfeirm" is used in Munster, Lughaidh? As far as I know "go dtí" doesn't take the dative case anywhere - always the nominative. But you don't know everything (not yet ;-) )... In Corca Dhuibhne (at least) they do use "go dtí" as if it were a "normal" preposition, so, with the dative, with mutations and they say "go dtísna tithe" etc... But all that is not mentioned in standard grammars. But if you look at An Teanga Bheo or at Gaeilge Chorca Dhuibhne you'll find all that. quote:I was just reading an article and it says "go dtí an fheirm". I think this maybe correct instead of "go dtí an bhfeirm! Yeah but I guess your article wasn't written in Munster Irish !
