The best I can do at the mo to translate:
'It's very tempting to speak in English'
is 'bíonn fonn orm Béarla a labhairt (in áit na Gaeilge)'
Does anyone have anything nicer as a translation which translates the 'tempting' part more closely? The 'fonn' is suggesting more like I am in the mood or would like to speak in English which isn't really what I mean so I'm not totally happy with it.
Also what would you say is the difference between 'nod' and 'leid'? if any .. within the dialects? Are they both used across the dialects?
Thankies :) |

B'fhéidir mealladh nó cathú (??)

Cool, yeah 'mealltach' coming from mealladh could work couldn't it? 'Bíonn (an) Béarla mealltach?' or 'Bíonn sé mealltach, an Béarla'.
Also, maybe 'Meallann an Béarla mé'?
What if I was to get rid of the English word 'tempting'. Is there another way again to say this, as in 'it's very easy to fall back into (speaking) English?' |

Is dóigh liom go mbeadh "cathú" níos giorra don chiall atá uait. Bionn neach éigin eile i gceist le mealladh.

"Tá an claonadh ann (i gcónaí) labhairt i mBéarla".= "There is (always) a tendency (or an inclination) to speak English" |

Is maith liom é sin. D'fheadfá "ionam" a chuir in áit "ann"

Is maith liom an fhoclaíocht sin le 'claonadh' chomh maith, go raibh maith agaibh as ucht sin.
Agus mé ar an mbus níos túisce sa lá bhí mé ag smaoineadh ar 'Tagann an Béarla go éasca/ níos tapaí dom'
An mbeadh 'dom' agus 'go éasca' ceart go leor san abairt sin? |

Nár cheart 'go héasca' a bheith ann, nó an bhfuil an dá leagan ceart? |

quote:"Tá an claonadh ann (i gcónaí) labhairt i mBéarla". Tá mé a cheapadh gur ceart "Béarla a labhairt". Agus, chuirfinn "le" roimh an ainm briathartha chomh maith. "Tá claonamh ionam/agam le Béarla a labhairt".

Hmm,
Maybe "bréag" for to entice?
