I came across this word 'sonuachar' in 'Lucinda Sly', Maidhc Danin O'Se' s recent book. It doesn't appear in any dictionary that I have, therefore I don't know what the word itself means. An mbeadh einne in ann a cabhru liom?

nuachar = spouse

Ceapaim go cialaíonn sé "spouse" or "soul mate".
Ar eagla na heagla,féach ar na freagraí ag na daoine eile seo a leanas ar dtús. |

Séamus it's in the Ó Dónaill dictionary:
"Sonuachar: Spouse. Sonuachar chugat, may you get a good partner in life" |

Good on ya for sussing the so part out, I wouldn't have picked that out of the word!! It's nice that sonuachar is defined as 'spouse' but maybe in this day and age we should be defining it as 'good spouse' more so!! |

Tá "donuachar" ag Ó Dónaill chomh maith. (Agus bhí ag Lucinda...) |

Cuirtear "so" roimh focal chun rud deas a léiriú, agus "do" roimhe do drochrud.

tá mise ag freastail ar rang Gaeilge - anuraidh bhí saghas comórtas againn - ce mhéid focal(péirí) le s/so agus d/do atá ann?
fuaireamar 40 nó 50 nó mar sin. Molaim daoibh é a dhéanamh mar cleachta!
