An féidir leat ainm a mholadh don mhadra seo? Seol isteach é sna nótaí tráchta, le do thoil. Má roghnaítear an t-ainm a mholann tusa, scríobhfar comhrá ag úsáid an ainm sin i mblagmhír sa todhchaí. Iontas na n-iontas, beidh cnámh hióideach faighte ag an madra agus labhróidh seisean sa chomhra! (grafaic: http://www.clipartlord.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/woman32.png)

(le Róislín)

In a recent blog (nasc thíos), we looked at flower terms that occur in movie titles, and checked out what these would be in Irish.   So we had some fun vocabulary, ranging from “filiméala” to “gáma-ghathanna” and some specific flowers like “nóiníní” and “poipíní,” as we worked through the translations of the titles.   We also saw “tiúilip” used in two movie titles, once as a dog’s name (Mo Mhadra Tiúilip, 2009, le guthú le Christopher Plummer, Lynn Redgrave, agus Isabella Rossellini) and once in a more matter-of-fact way, in the title of an early travelogue about Holland (where else?) , An Ollainn in Aimsir na dTiúilipí, 1934, le James Fitzpatrick (scannán gairid faisnéise, ina shraith Traveltalks, “Holland in Tulip Time”).

So for today’s blogpost, I thought it would be fun to look at some more dogs’ names and their owners.   We’ll have a series of sentences in which the owner says the dog’s name.  I’d love to have the dogs speaking for themselves, but unfortunately, they don’t have a cnámh hióideach, the bone which enables us humans to speak.  So for these sentences, the owners are speaking.  Perhaps in a future blogpost, we can imagine the dogs speaking for themselves, in the first person, or should that be, first canine?

It would be great to see what other dog names you can think of.  Can you introduce your dog to us in Irish?  Or send in a sentence in which a fictional character introduces their dog?  And pretty soon we’ll have to follow this up with cait, won’t we?  SGF  — Róislín
