C\u00e9 acu hairic\u00edn \u00e9 seo? Freagra th\u00edos<\/p><\/div>\n

Kind of has a nice beat, doesn’t it?\u00a0 Cine\u00e1lacha Stoirmeacha<\/strong> [KIN-yawl-ukh-uh STIRzh-im-ukh-uh].\u00a0\u00a0 Storms are possible any time of year, of course, but the month of October can see several types.\u00a0 Stoirmeacha sneachta, mar a bh\u00ed ar ch\u00f3sta thiar na St\u00e1t Aontaithe i m\u00ed Dheireadh F\u00f3mhair (go luath don s\u00e9as\u00far!) sa bhliain 2011 <\/strong>— unseasonably early, we might say.\u00a0 Agus go minic go leor, hairic\u00edn\u00ed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a previous blog, we discussed\u00a0the origin of the English word “hurricane,” from which we get “hairic\u00edn” <\/strong>in Irish.\u00a0 There are at least two schools of thought on the origin of the word “hurricane.”\u00a0 One is that it is adapted from the Carib for \u201cGod of Evil\u201d and the other is that it is from the name of a Mayan storm god, Hurakan.\u00a0 \u00a0Either way, it was “hurac\u00e1n”<\/em> in Spanish before it reached either English or Irish.\u00a0 https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/irish\/cinealacha-stoirmeacha-kinds-of-storms\/<\/a><\/p>\n

You might also remember some vocabulary for different types of storms.\u00a0 Here’s a list of storm-related words, with some practice sentences or Q & A to go along with them.<\/p>\n

1. hairic\u00edn <\/strong>(an hairic\u00edn) [un HARzh-ik-yeen]: hurricane<\/p>\n

C\u00e9n t-ainm at\u00e1 ar an hairic\u00edn seo?\u00a0 ____________ at\u00e1 air.\u00a0 OR, another way to ask the same question: Cad is ainm don hairic\u00edn seo?\u00a0 ______________ is ainm d\u00f3.<\/p>\n

2. stoirm<\/strong>\u00a0(an stoirm) [un STIRzh-im]: storm<\/p>\n

6. stoirm ghaoithe<\/strong>\u00a0(an stoirm ghaoithe): wind storm<\/p>\n

C\u00e9 chomh l\u00e1idir is at\u00e1 an ghaoth sa stoirm ghaoithe seo?\u00a0 N\u00edl m\u00e9 cinnte, ach is gaoth f\u00f3rsa g\u00e1la \u00ed.<\/p>\n

7. s\u00edon<\/strong>\u00a0(an ts\u00edon) [SHEE-un]: weather, usually implying stormy<\/p>\n

8. anfa gaoithe<\/strong>\u00a0(an t-anfa gaoithe): wind storm<\/p>\n

Cad \u00e9 an difear idir “stoirm ghaoithe” agus “anfa gaoithe”?\u00a0 N\u00edl a fhios agam ach t\u00e1 s\u00e9imhi\u00fa ar an bhfocal “ghaoithe” tar \u00e9is an fhocail “stoirm” (baininscneach) agus n\u00edl s\u00e9imhi\u00fa ar an bhfocal “gaoithe” tar \u00e9is an fhocail “anfa” (firinscneach). “Is gramad\u00f3ir m\u00e9, Jim, n\u00ed meit\u00e9areola\u00ed m\u00e9,” le parafr\u00e1sa a chur ar mh\u00e9im Dr. McCoy.<\/p>\n

And there’s always the useful prefix “droch<\/strong>-” (bad), which can be used for “drochaimsir<\/strong>” (bad weather), “drochstoirm<\/strong>” (a bad storm), or “drocho\u00edche<\/strong>” (a bad night).\u00a0 That is if you’re not referring to the infamous Irish “o\u00edche na gaoithe m\u00f3ire<\/strong>” (night of the big wind).<\/p>\n
