Dia dhaoibh!

I'm stuck on a grammar point for a translation I have to do... It's to do with a double genitive of sorts... The sentence in English is :

"the annual celebration of Irish language and culture"

I've ended up with:

"ceiliúradh bliantúil theanga agus chultúr na Gaeilge"

Is this correct? I'm confused with it since in my mind it would be two genitives so you would end up saying:

A yearly celebration OF the language and culture OF Irish...

any help appreciated!

GRMA

Gabh mo leithscéal... agus ceann eile...

the sentence in English is:

"Highlights so far have included..."

I have written:

"Tá ar áireamh sna buaiceanna seo..."

Is the use of ar áireamh correct for includes? or is this an awkward way to translate the sentence...?

Thanks!

ceiliúradh bliantúil theanga agus chultúr na Gaeilge

cultúr na Gaeilge? (= the culture of the Irish language)
(Gaeilge is a noun meaning "Irish language".
The adjective "Irish" is Éireannach or Gaelach.

B'fhearr:
cultúr Éireannach/Gaelach = Irish culture
an cultúr Éireannach/Gaelach = the Irish culture

Déarfainnse b'fhéidir mar sin:
ceiliúradh bliantúil na Gaeilge agus an chultúir Éireannaigh.
nó:
ceiliúradh bliantúil na teanga agus an chultúir Éireannaigh.

(nó ... Ghaelaigh)

Is féidir an focal deireanach a athrú ó "Gaeilge" go "nGael", et voilà:

ceiliúradh bliantúil theanga agus chultúr na nGael

GRMA!

I wouldn't have spotted that... thanks a million! I think I've been awake too long :(

Cá mbeidh an ceiliúradh seo?
