An Focal “ann” (agus beagáinín faoi “ionam,” “ionat,” srl.) Posted by róislín on Apr 19, 2012
(le Róislín) Some of you might be wondering about the word “ann” in the question “An ann di?” from the recent blog entitled “Cén Ghaeilge atá ar ‘rusticle’?

Maidir le “Mud” (Muck, Mire, etc.) Posted by róislín on Mar 23, 2012
(le Róislín) Before getting back to the question of the shot glass vs. the “timbléar fuisce,” I thought I’d look a little further into the words for mud, mire, muck and the like, as mentioned in the last blog.

Here’s some vocabulary to help translate it: beatha, life, as in uisce beatha (whiskey, water of life) or in the phrase “Is é do bheatha,” (a greeting, also used in…
“Ga-sheol go Filideilfia nó go Detroit mé, a Scotty! Tá mé ag iarraidh an Taispeántas (Exhibition) ‘RéaltAistear’ a fheiceáil.” Posted by róislín on Aug 4, 2009
Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil daoine (agus b’fhéidir neacha eile!) amuigh ansin a bhfuil suim acu sa Ghaeilge agus sna cláracha agus sna scannáin RéaltAistear (Star Trek). Faoi láthair tá an taispeántas i bhFilideilfia ag an Institiúid Franklin (www.fl.edu) agus i nDetroit ag an Detroit Science Center (www.detroitsciencecenter.org). Seo cúpla frása ón seó…
