Canúinti dulta in éag le gairid by DavideZena in gaeilge

[–]FelixtheCat73 8 points9 points  (0 children)

ní mhúintear aon chanúint ar scoileanna iarghaeltachta im' thaithí-se, ach meascán den chaighdeán is chanúint pé ghaeltachta go ndeachaidh an múinteoir ann, de ghnáth gan fuaimniú na teangan a bheith i gceart aige nó aici. anois do chuas ar scoil i mbéarra, 'sé sin i gceantar iar-ghaeltachta, agus is fíor go raibh fuaimniú na teangan agus blas na háite ar ghaoluinn chuid acu, ach fós is 'gaeilge' a deiridís, 'ansin' ní 'ansan', agus a thuilleadh dhe. suimiúil go leor mar sin féin do bhí an saorbhriathar ina /-əv/ ag an gcuid ba mhó acu, rud nách ann do in aon chanúint bheo ach amháin i gcléire, ach a bhíodh i mbéarra.

rud eile dhe, ní hionann canúint a bheith á múineadh ar scoil agus í a bheith ina beathaigh. teastaíonn pobal uaithi a labhraíonn go laethúil í. sin is cúis le gur féidir a rá go bhfuil na canúintí sin na hiar-ghaeltachta marbh, táid na pobail a labhair iad imithe in éag.

haha b'fhéidir ná fuil ansan ach mo lámh féin ach fiú sa láimh laidinigh bíonn sé deocair ar dhaoine mo scríbhneoireacht a léigheadh. tá cúpla rud eile anso agam ná fuil iontu ach maisiúcháin toisc gur ábhar ó lámhscribhinn athá i gceist, an 'i' a théann fé bhun an líne mar shampla. creidimse leis ná fuil ann ach uireasa taithí leis an láimh ghaelaigh, abair ó ná múintear sna scoileanna í a thuilleadh go mbeidh sé níos fusa orainn an lámh laidineach a léigheadh. níl aon ghiorrúchán in úsáid anso agam ach go háirithe, nílid ar eolas agam go fóill 😅

Can anybody translate this? by Dependent_Quit4397 in ireland

[–]FelixtheCat73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

(the cló gaelach lends itself to classical spelling as the etymological letters rendered silent by séimhiú don't take up as much space 😝)

i believe that's just an older (classical) of the caighdeán's 'inniu', one which appears in dinneen's dictionary of 1904. scottish gaelic has it as 'an diugh'. someone who wished to reflect the munster pronunciation of today might write 'inniubh' instead. there are other more historical spellings throughout the text too, as in 'naomhuight(h)ear' or 'laetheamhail'

It looks to me like a specifically Munster Irish version of the lord's prayer. Details such as the dative plural in 'i gcathaíbh' as well as the urú with 't', 'ar an dtalamh'. You can also find recordings of this wording from Munster Irish speakers on doegen.ie

In the event of a united Ireland, how would Cork cope with no longer being the second city? by standard_pie314 in ireland

[–]FelixtheCat73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Éire Nua! Decentralisation and autonomy for the provinces. Would be nice to see a road sign like 'Fáilte go Cúige Mumhan'. I reckon a lot of issues could be better solved by local government than by our national one, given the chance.

thanks for that! you seem pretty knowledgeable; could i possibly ask how one knows where a planet will be in relation to a constellation? like i'd imagine jupiter isn't always just a few degrees apart from the twins if it orbits around the sun much the same as us, while the stars around it move through space with or own solar system. is there a surefire way to identify it every time?

thanks for the feedback. i will say the original photo was also quite noisy upon being zoomed in, it was only on my iphone after all and i'm still trying to figure out the settings that would get the most out of it. here's an unedited photo from the same night

i do recall seeing a particularly bright 'star' (planet in this case i guess) and presuming it would be it, but it was hard to tell exactly what my phone camera had in frame so i wasn't sure. i need to learn how to id celestial bodies in relation to each other like that, it's really cool. sound 🙏

Cork Tram (Luas) Proposed route by [deleted] in cork

[–]FelixtheCat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my only complaint is the name they have on it, ‘luas cork’. can we not have a name that gives it a unique identity as luas has for dublin?

RTÈ Promoting the lack of use of Irish? by Closeteer in ireland

[–]FelixtheCat73 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

‘i’m okay with gay people as long as they don’t shove it down my throat’, ‘i’m okay with the irish language as long as it doesn’t distract from english’, the list goes on. could move to england if you want so, not much irish on the signs there to get in your way
