Memorial Day is celebrated in America on the last Monday of May.\u00a0 It used to be celebrated on May 30th<\/sup> but in 1971 it was changed so that the holiday would always be on a Monday so that there would be a long (three-day) weekend.<\/p>\n

Cuimhneach\u00e1n<\/strong>, and related words like \u201ccuimhin<\/strong>,\u201d \u201ccuimhne<\/strong>,\u201d and cuimhn\u00edm<\/strong>,\u201d have interesting connections to Latin and even Welsh.\u00a0 \u00a0The modern Irish words derive from Old Irish \u201cco-men<\/strong>\u201d (lit. \u201cwith mind\u201d).\u00a0 The \u201cmen<\/strong>\u201d part of this compound is related to Latin mens<\/em> and Italian and Spanish mente<\/em> as well as English \u201cmental.\u201d\u00a0 It is also connected to the modern Irish word \u201cmeanma<\/strong>\u201c (mind, state of mind, spirit, disposition), which also gives us the surname Mac Meanman<\/strong> (McMenamin).\u00a0 \u00a0\u201cCo<\/strong>-\u201d is basically the same as the modern Irish prefix \u201cc\u00f3<\/strong>-\u201c (comh<\/strong>-).<\/p>\n

\u201cCuimhneach\u00e1n<\/strong>\u201d is used in many phrases and proper names, typically in the genitive case (cuimhneach\u00e1in<\/strong>) to modify the noun that comes before it.\u00a0 Can you translate these? (freagra\u00ed th\u00edos<\/strong>)<\/p>\n
