Seo é an bunachar náisiúnta téarmaíochta don Ghaeilge, á bhainistiú ag grúpa taighde Gaois, Fiontar & Scoil na Gaeilge (DCU) i gcomhar leis an gCoiste Téarmaíochta, Foras na Gaeilge.

Tá c.186,000 iontráil dhátheangach ar fáil sa bhunachar. Is féidir dul i ngleic leis na téarmaí ar bhealaí éagsúla agus is féidir chomh maith an t-ábhar a íoslódáil i bhformáid TBX no TXT. 

Is féidir teacht ar fhoilseacháin de chuid Gaois a bhaineann leis an téarmeolaíocht anseo. Más maith leat coinneáil suas leis an téarmaíocht, an téarmeolaíocht agus forbairtí nua, is féidir clárú do nuachtlitir Gaois, blag Gaois a léamh, nó coinneáil suas le Téarma an Lae ar Twitter, Instagram agus Facebook.

Around 186,000 bilingual entries are available in the database. They can be queried in various ways, and the material can also be downloaded in TBX or TXT format.

If you wish to keep up with terminology and other new developments, you can sign up for the Gaois newsletter (in Irish), read the Gaois blog (in Irish), or get the Term of the Day on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. The story of the project is told here.
