I'd be grateful if you could tell me if this would be a correct translation for "the four houses I visited": "an ceithre theach a thug mé cuairteanna orthu". And would this be correctly "Munsterized" as "an ceithre thigh do thugas cuairteanna orthu"? |

I believe it would be "na ceithre thigh gur thugas cuairteanna orthu" (or "cuairdeanna ortha" if you want to represent the dialect pronunciation). |

In the "standard", "na ceithre" also, and I think it should be "ar thug". |

Ní dóigh liom go bhfuil gá leis an iolra - ar thug mé cuairt orthu. Sé sin le rá, munar thug tú níos mó na cuairt amháin ar ghach theach faoi seach! |

Go raibh maith agaibh - na ceithre theach ar thug mé cuairt orthu. Cad is brí le "faoi seach" dála an scéil? Ceist eile - cheap mé go mba cheart "beirt" a úsáíd seachas dhá agus daoine i gceist. Cén fáth mar sin a deirtear "Cogadh an Dá Rí" seachas "an bheirt rí"? |

quote:Cén fáth mar sin a deirtear "Cogadh an Dá Rí" seachas "an bheirt rí"? (Why does "Cogadh an Dá Rí" ("The War of the Two Kings") use dá instead of beirt?) Perhaps beirt has more of a nuance of "togetherness", so conversely using dá indicates their separateness and opposition. Just my impression. Any other thoughts or explanations? |

"beirt" is used of people, words denoting men, women, boys, girls. "Rí"? Is it a title accorded to the biggest bully in the area? |

faoi seach ((in abairt) ar a sheal; anois is arís (teas agus fuacht faoi seach)).
seach
= seachas.
Cogadh an Dá Rí = an Cogadh idir Séamas a' Chaca agus Liam Óráiste. Ceist mhaith, is dócha go bhfuil "dá" níos soiléire sa chás seo - is idir an bheirt acu a bhí an scéal. |

Agus céard faoi Bhert agus Ernie: dhá nó beirt phuipéad?
Is geal leis an bhfiach dubh a ghearrcach féin.
