This from p 96 Buntús Cainte...
How do you pronunce the following (prefer Munster if applicable)
"Caithfidh siad an t-airgead a fháil."
Is it "cafee may (u) tear-guht)(a) awl?
..with the parenthesized letters slurred over?

Munster would have:
KAH-huh shee-ud uh TAH-rig-yud (uh) AWL
(As if written "Caithe siad a' t-airigead (a) áil")
Or they'd say "Caithfid an t-airgead a fháil"
Caithfid is there "CAH-hidd"
The -f- of "caithfid(h)" is pronounced as an h in this form.

The pronunciation you have given seems to be for caithfidh mé and not caithfid said, but anyway, the f is pronounced h.
Caithfid: kaahi
Siad: shee-ad
an: un
t-airgead: tarrigyad
a fháil: aahl |

caithfid is KAH-hidd.
caithfidh siad is KAH-huh shee-ud.

Grma, A Lughaidh agus A UG..
Very helpful, and is sea, I DID forget and mix up/forgot to put in "mé" agus "siad".... AND somewhere I have the tapes for that page of Buntús Cainte...but I can't find them. (:)
I guess the thing that struck me the most was the pron. of the addition of the "y" sound in "TAH-rig-yud" agus "tarrigyad". It appears that I was trying to be so smart and vocalize the pphrase so fast as probably a native speaker would do that I completely forgot to include that "Y"
Anyway...thanks. |
