Mutating Turkeys, With ‘Séimhiú’ and ‘Urú’ That Is Posted by róislín on Nov 17, 2015
(le Róislín) ‘Tis the season to “talk turkey,” so let’s go for it. And by the way, “mutating” here (as in the title of this blog) doesn’t refer to “sócháin” (mutations in genetics: A thiarcais, sin turcaí a bhfuil trí shnúda air!) but rather to “athruithe gramadaí,” that is, the use of “séimhiú” and “urú”…
Cén Ghaeilge atá ar … wattle? (Stór focal in am do Lá an Altaithe) Posted by róislín on Nov 6, 2015
(le Róislín) When we describe parts of a turkey’s body, it’s easy enough to reference cosa (feet / legs), sciatháin (wings), cleití (feathers), tail (eireaball OR ruball), ceann (head), and gob (beak).

Ón Teanga Taíno go Gaeilge (‘barabicu’ go ‘beárbaiciú’) Posted by róislín on May 22, 2014
(le Róislín) In the last blog, we referred to “séasúr na mbeárbaiciúnna” (barbecue season) while discussing the Irish word “citseap” (from the Chinese ‘kôe-chiap’ or its Malay variation). This blog will look more closely at the word “beárbaiciú” itself, which, clearly enough, means “barbecue.” Or should that be “barbeque”? Or “bar-b-q”? Or BBQ? Or, “the…
