Dia daoibh athuair, a chairde...

1) How should I form a structure like "...which may not be written..." etc? I came up with "a ní bheidh scríofa" but probably am deep in the woods.

2) For "I read that there (once) was..." I got "Léigh mé, a bhí..." but should this be "...gur raibh..." etc?

GRMA!

Tine, siúil liom!

which may not be written = nár chóir a scríobh... (?) but with a context it would be easier to translate it...

"a ní bheidh scríofa" is translated word for word from English...

I read that there (once) was... > Léigh mé go raibh...

Not "gur raibh" because "bí" is one of these irregular verbs that don't take "past particles" before its past forms...

Just an attempt:
1)... nár chead a bheidh scríofa, ...
... nach bhféadfaidh a bheith scríofa ...

(explanation: "which ... not" is "nach", never "a ní";
beidh is future tense: ní bheidh scríofa = will not be written
2) Yes, gur is necessary.
But with raibh it is go raibh:
Léigh mé go raibh ...

Yes. Of source. B)

I'll try another one of similar nature.

Tá carachtar sa leabhair Harry Potter nach bhféadfaidh a ainm a bheith labhartha.

Even closely so? Or...

Tá uirlisi ann nach bhféadfaidh a bheith tugtha do oibrí neanhoilte.

Níos simplí

There is a character in Harry Potter who may not be named
Tá pearsa i Harry Potter nach ceadmhach a ainm a lua

ceadmhach [aidiacht den chéad díochlaonadh]
ceadaithe.

lua [ainm briathartha][ainmfhocal firinscneach den cheathrú díochlaonadh]
tagairt do rud nó trácht air (luaigh sé liom é; rud a lua).

What you have suggests that it is impossible to mention his name - but it is not. (But it is impossible to directly mention the said city hence DBnadT is correct above)

For the second sentence, what you mean is that is is not proper to give the tools to untrained workers

Tá uirlisí ann nach ceart iad a thabhairt d'oibrithe neamhoilte

Mar sin:

As always, there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Is é is brí don logainm Fionnlanach i gceist ná "Cat Crainn Súicheach" nó "Sáible". Is ainmhí beag fionnaitheach é an sáible agus tugadh don díobhadh iad de bharr an fhiaigh. Ó shin i leith ciallaíonn an logainm ainmhí áitiúil ar bith atá beag agus fionnaitheach .

Dá mbeadh áit in Éirinn leis an seanlogainm Gaeilge "Cat Crainn Súicheach" is cinnte go mbeadh Catcranesucky mar leagan Béarla air le fada an lá agus greim an bháiteacháin ag muintir na háite ar an ainm sin.


Ach níl muintir na cathrach darb ainm "Error - The following words are not allowed on this discussion board *" ag déanamh ceannairc in aghaidh Choimisiún Logainmneacha ar bith - ach, dar ndóigh, b'fhéidir in aghaidh dreama eile amach anseo!.


quote:

*Tá cathair sa Fhionlann nach bhféadfaidh a hainm a bheith scríofa ar an fhóraim seo.

(Guten morgen!) Tuigim anois é!


An é an Curiousfinn atá i gceist nó cia atá i gceist?

Chuaigh múnlach leath-próiseáilte i an soláthar uisce sa Nócia, agus d'éirigh cuid mhór duine tinn.

Chuaigh múnlach páirtphróiseáilte isteach sa soláthar uisce i Nócia

Ní hiondúil go mbíonn logainmneacha iasachta á n-athscríobh sa tslí sin, ach dá ndéanfainn é, ní scríobhfainn "Nócia"--níl na gutaí fada ná an /k/ caol.

A Fhinn,

I mBéarla, ar son soiléireachta: Please stop writing *"i an". The correct form is sa (before consonants) or san (before vowels and fh).

Bhí 1l uisce i mbuidéal sa chuisneoir. D'ól mo dheartháir* an t-uisce uile, agus níor athlíon sé an buidéal.

*Duine den chléir is ea bráthair.

Ní thuigim go maith cad é atá i gceist agat le "fogra an fhabht". Comhartha laige? Admháil ciontachta?

Bhí 1l beoir i dtrí cannaí sa chuisneoir.

An bhuil tú a rá go raibh aon trian den lítear i ngach canna?

D'ól mé an beoir

an bheoir (baininscneach)

Ní féidir seo a rá. Níorbh fholáir duit an leithscéal s'agamsa a úsáid.

Sea. Ach bhí mé beag go híorónta.

Scríobh mé:

uair.

an dtagann t- roimh fh freisin le fhocail baininscneach le f iniseal

Níl difear ann idir an áinsíoch agus an ainmneach le maidir ainmfhocail sa nua-Ghaeilge, agus ní láithríonn an réimír roimh fh- choiche. Fuascailt (bain.), an fhuascailt.

Ach bhí mé rud beag go híorónta. (B'fhéidir níos fearr: Ach bhí mé ag rá rud beag íorónta.)

Tá Saoire na Nollaig againn idir Oíche Nollag agus an chéad lá d'Eanáir (nó Lá na Bliana Úire). Ach an rud go bhfuil cuma is fearr air, dar liom, is ea ó Lá na Nollag go hOíche Chinn Bhliana.

Ar an dul céanna ba chóir go mba dóú Eanáiran dara lá d'Eanáir.

Tá eolas na sanasaíochta agam. Is é an focal céanna é mar sa Bhreatnais, agus ann san is gnách "Nos Galan" a rá, mar sa teideal an charúil ionúin:
quote:

Oer yw'r eira ar Eryri,
Ffa la la la la, la la la la.
Er fod gwrthban gwlanen arni,
Ffa la la la la, la la la la.
Oer yw'r bobol na ofalan',
Ffa la la la la la la.
Gwrdd â'i gilydd ar Nos Galan,
Ffa la la la la, la la la la.

("Is fuar an sneacht ar Eryri [sliabhraon sa Bhreatain Bheag] / D'ainneoin an phlaincéid phlainín air / Is fuar na daoine gur cuma leotha / a bhualadh le chéile ar Oíche na Caille.")

Ach is é an rud ná fuil a fhios agam air ná cé acu gur féidir "Oíche na Caille" a rá sa Ghaelainn leis. Go raibh maith agat fén nasc, a Aonguis, ach an cheist sin ní freagraíonn.

Glacaim leis go bhfuil "kerf" baint acu le Béarlais "corpse" agus Gearmáinis "körper"...

Agus cheannaigh me albam Lemonade & Buns le Kíla.
An ghabh siad "saoirse fileata" lena n-ainm? Cad é atá sé a rá? Fógrófar sé amuigh agus istigh mar "ding" as Fhionlainnis, agus briseann sé an riail clc,lll.

Tá Coirnis air. Is é an gaol bréige i mBreatnais "corfflan" é, agus is "corff" agus "kerf" focail iasachta ón Laidin "corpus". Tá "corp" i nGaelainn agus "Körper" i nGearmáinis glactha ón Laidin leis.

In aice na chríoch de Shaoire na Nollaig, tá tinn orm, agus tá measarthacht a déanamh sa bhaile. Tagann fiabhras, téann fiabhras, agus táim marbh tuirseach in ammanna.

Tá gá dom deoch te a ól, agus a lán a lúi.

Tá "oibrigh" san fhoclóir: "oibríonn sé/sí/etc." /aib′r′iːǝɴ/ a deirtear. Níor chuala mé *obraigh riamh. Cúpla athrú eile:

Cén meaisin a bhfuil an pháirt seo tógtha?

Cén t-inneall a bhfuil an pháirt seo tógtha de?
Cén t-inneall ar tháinig an pháirt seo as?

For "perpetual motion", déarfainn "gluaiseacht shíoraí".

NB: "geáitse" is not motion in general, but rather a bodily movement, a gesture; more specifically, it means something you do to act up, show off, attract attention.

GRMA, a Dhonncha!

Feicim anois go scríobh mé "dífriocht" in ionad "difríocht"...

Tá foclóirí neamh-thuairisciúil go minic, agus tá gá dom a lán as Bhéarla a ceapadh leo.

Do "work" (de irishdictionary.ie) fuair mé "obraíonn" do chás seo. Ní fuair réimniú do "oibrigh" nó "obraigh" ansin. I ndiadh fanacht fada, fuair mé "operate" le "oibrigh" de focal.ie, ach níor thug id.ie a réimniú dom.

-----

I hope this makes any sense. Sometimes this feels hard, like English was holding me back in reaching my goal with Irish, but OTOH it must be the best intermediary language, for obvious reasons... Still it often takes two idiosyncracy conversions instead of one, sometimes two dictionary lookups to find one word as well, and then possibly at both stages the dictionaries I have found don't describe the various translations very well. This results in my "Fingrish" incorrect assembly of some phrases.

I wish there was a verb conjugator that could recognize verbs by conjugated forms... know any?

Tine, siúil liom!

Téigh go dtí an Foclóir Beag ar líne anseo:

http://www.csis.ul.ie/focloir/

Scríobh "oibrigh" sa bhosca, cliceáil ar "Cuardaigh", et voilà! Tá foirmeacha an bhriathair ar fáil ansin sa dearfach, sa diúltach agus sa cheisteach. Is an-áis é. Agus mura bhfuil an focal "áis" agat, cuir é sin sa bhosca agus ar aghaidh leat!

GRMA. Is maith é. Go fóill tá gá dom de fhoclóir eile aistriúcháin a fáil, ach is é OK. Go fadálach, ach go deimhin, déanaim mo fhocloir inmheánach agus iomlónaim réimniú freisin.

Sílim go bhfuil mé thart an measa na mo thinneas. Tá aon lá saoire fágtha.

Tine, siúil liom!

Bheadh sé ráite ar shlí eile agamsa:

Sílim go bhfuil an cuid is measa de mo thinneas thart



Sílim go bhfuil an cuid is measa den tinneas curtha díom agam



Sílim go bhfuilim tagtha tríd an chuid is measa den tinneas.


Tá lá amháin saoir fagtha.



Biseach ort! Táimse saor go dtí an Luán buíochas le Dia.

Seems strange to use ''sílim'' with ''bhfuilim'' when bhfuilim is a Munsterism, and sílim is Donegal...

Gaeilge go deo!

Sílim is standard, and the standard also allows either bhfuilim or bhfuil mé.

Additionally, in common with most urban speakers of Irish, I have been exposed to several dialects all my life.

Ok a chara, the CO has given us something once and for all ''síl'' ;-) - I always thought it was ''Ceap'' in the Standard.

Gaeilge go deo!

S**T. Another glitch of the Fingrish dual stage translation/idiom conversion.

The standard says how to write things, not which words to use.

Ceap and Síl do not mean exactly the same thing.

Misneach, a Fhionlannaigh Fhiosraigh! Níl an scéal ina chac fós! Lean ort leis an obair!

Scríobh Aonghus:

Ceap and Síl do not mean exactly the same thing

Cén difríocht a bhfuil idir iad?

This is one thing that id.ie does leath-thóin... in phrase translations they list various words that can't be found directly translated... like in a few examples of "I think..." phrases, síl is suggested, but this sense can't be found in the verb translator either way.

Now that I've been poring deeper into the verb conjugations... I notice that the imperative mood is listed for others than just second person sg/pl and first person pl... does it actually work this way in Irish, or is this a computer generated list of what it would look like by some rules?

This looks odd to me. In Finnish, you could say "Hän lukee/menee/syö nyt vaan" (he/she just reads/goes/eats now) and this is considered an imperative sentence, although it isn't grammatically correct. Being an order to a second party but given like a statement concerning a third party, it's a work-around of a rather patronizing tone when you don't want to directly tell someone to Read!/Go!/Eat!... or whatever you want them to do. Of course there's the third person plural case "syökäämme/syödään!", both are "let's eat" but the former is more subtle, the latter is made of passive mood but a direct command.

Ar an taoibh eile, b'fheidir ní ceapaim cliste, agus táim ag stán ar an freagra ach ní feicim é.

You know in English how "I suppose so, I think so, I imagine so, I guess so" all mean about the same thing? Yet these verbs can have quite different meanings in other contexts. It works pretty much the same way in Irish with "Sílim, ceapaim, is dóigh liom... go bhfuil an ceart agat." Yet "ceap" can also mean "shape, invent", as for example in the disclaimer "ní mise a chum ná a cheap (é)" = roughly "this is not my creation... I'm only quoting / passing along what I heard / read / etc." And then there's "ceap = appoint". And so on. Linguists probably have a term for this sort of contextual semantic overlap.

Ta an ceart ag Dennis. Cloistear "ceap" agus "sil" sa Mhumhain agus ta "ceap" ag na Connachtaigh.
Labhartar go leor raimeise i dtaobh cursai canunachais:ta "Ni thiocfadh leis" (= Niorbh fheidir leis) ag an Ath. Peadar.

I would say that ceap has a wider meaning than síl.

But really it depends on the context.
