Looking over the last blog, ar “uaigneas” agus “aonaracht,”<\/b> I thought some l\u00e9itheoir\u00ed<\/b> might welcome a gluais\u00edn<\/b> ([GLOO-ish-een] little glossary) and cuidi\u00fa<\/b> [KWIDJ-yoo] le fuaimni\u00fa<\/b> [FOO-im-nyoo, with that “-ny-” like the “-ny-” in “canyon”].<\/p>\n

If you didn’t get a seans<\/b> [shanss] to read an blag sin<\/strong> yet, seo an nasc<\/b>: https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/irish\/o-tillich-go-henry-bemis-solitude-vs-loneliness-agus-dearcadh-na-gaeilge\/<\/a> . \u00a0If you did have a chance to read it, you may recall that it dealt with a quote from theologian\/philosopher Paul Tillich on the words “solitude” and “loneliness.” \u00a0It concluded by pondering the Catch-22-type difficulty of asking “Henry Bemis” about the matter. \u00a0“Bemis,” played by Burgess Meredith in the “Time Enough At Last” of The Twilight Zone,<\/em> was left “ina aonar<\/strong>” after an H-bomb destroyed the entire population of the world, so he should be something of an expert on the subjects of “uaigneas<\/strong>” and “aonaracht<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

Ach ar an drochuair, \u00e1fach, n\u00ed f\u00e9idir linn ceist a chur ar Bemis mar, de r\u00e9ir na heipeas\u00f3<\/b>ide sin, n\u00edl duine ar bith eile ann, muide san \u00e1ireamh. \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0 Ach muna bhfuil muide ann, c\u00e9 muide … ach, bhuel, sin ceist eiseach do na feals\u00fanaithe! \u00a0T\u00e1 c\u00fapla nasc don eipeas\u00f3<\/b>id sin th\u00edos.<\/strong><\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Agus s<\/b>eo an gluais\u00edn, na heochairfhocail<\/b> [HUKH-irzh-OK-il] ar dt\u00fas<\/b> [dooss, silent “t”] agus ansin rogha focal ar <\/b>“solitude” agus ar<\/b> “loneliness.\u00a0 D\u00e1la an sc\u00e9il<\/strong>, for the pronunciation of “rogha<\/strong>,”\u00a0 say “row,” as in “cow,” “now,” or the UK pronunciation of “a row,” i.e. “a quarrel;” remember, “row” for “quarrel” is not used much, if at all, in the US.<\/p>\n

uaigneas<\/b> [OO-ig-nyuss], loneliness (and sometimes “solitude,” etc., as previously discussed)<\/p>\n

aonaracht <\/b>[AYN-urr-ukht], solitude (and sometimes “loneliness,” as previously discussed).\u00a0 That “ay” of “ayn,” by the way, in this transcription, is as in “hay” or “may,” not as in the semi-invented, semi-traditional name “Ayn.”<\/p>\n

uaigneach<\/b> [OO-ig-nyukh], lonely, etc.<\/p>\n

uaigneach\u00e1n<\/b> [OO-ig-nyukh-awn]: solitary person, hermit<\/p>\n

aonar<\/b> {AYN-urr], one person, a lone person, based on the number “aon<\/b>” (one)<\/p>\n

aonar\u00e1nacht<\/b> [AYN-ur-AWN-ukht], solitariness<\/p>\n

Agus roinnt<\/b> [rinch] focal eile a bh\u00ed sa bhlag sin<\/b>:<\/p>\n

dearcadh<\/b> [DJARK-uh, with Donegal dialect speakers typically saying “DJARK-oo;” either way, the “-dh” at the end is a vowel sound, not a consonant]: outlook, look, gaze, viewpoint<\/p>\n

athfhriotal<\/b> [AH-RIT-ul, note the first “t” and the “fh” are silent]: a quote.\u00a0 This word is based on “ath<\/b>-” [ah], which means “re-” and “friotal<\/b>” [FRIT-ul], which means “speech” or “expression.”\u00a0 Putting “ath<\/b>-” in front of “friotal<\/b>” causes “friotal<\/b>” to change to “fhriotal<\/b>” [RIT-ul]. \u00a0Gotta keep your “friotals”<\/em> and “fhriotals”<\/em> straight! \u00a0Not to mention your “miotail<\/strong>“\u00a0<\/strong>[MITul],\u00a0your “c\u00f3imhiotail<\/strong>” [KOH-VIT-ul],” and your “tearcmhiotail<\/strong>“\u00a0<\/strong>[TCHARK-VIT-ul], not to mention your “sofhriotail<\/strong> [suh-RIT-ul]!”<\/p>\n

suimi\u00fail<\/b> [SIM-yoo-il], interesting<\/p>\n

\u00e1bhar<\/b> [AW-wur], subject, topic<\/p>\n

doil\u00e9ir<\/b> [DWIL-yayrzh]: dim, obscure, vague<\/p>\n

neamhshoil\u00e9ir<\/b> [NYOW-HIL-yayrzh, with the “nyow” as in “cow” or “how”; it’s not so difficult if you remember that “neamh<\/b>-” is a prefix]: not clear, not distinct, not plain<\/p>\n

feals\u00fana\u00ed<\/b> [fyal-SOON-ee, with the “fy-” as in “few” or “feudal’], philosopher<\/p>\n

eiseach<\/b> [ESH-ukh], existential<\/p>\n

diagaire<\/b> [DJEE-uh-gurzh-uh], theologian, based on “dia<\/b>” (god)<\/p>\n

H-bhuama<\/b> [AYTCH-WOO-um-uh, or however you care to pronounce the “H-” part, such as “HAYTCH-WOO-um-uh]; H-bomb.\u00a0 The key thing here is that the word “buama<\/b>” ([BOO-uh-muh] changes to “bhuama<\/b>” [WOO-um-uh] after the prefix.<\/p>\n

faidhb\u00edn<\/b> [FIE-been, with the “fie” like English “fie” or “pie” or “my”], a little problem; usually this would be expressed as “fadhb bheag<\/b>” (a little problem), but I added this “-\u00edn<\/strong>” suffix here, for extra impact.<\/p>\n

todhcha\u00ed <\/b>[TOW-khee, with the “ow” as in “cow” or “now”], future.\u00a0 This is mostly used in the abstract sense, not for describing aspects of grammar such as “the future tense,” which would be “an aimsir fh\u00e1istineach<\/strong>” (the future or, literally, “prophesying’ tense). \u00a0In my experience, “todhcha<\/strong>\u00ed”<\/b> mostly comes up in the phrase “sa todhcha\u00ed<\/b>” (in the future).<\/p>\n

And if someone (cainteoir Polainnise<\/b>?) would like to offer up a pronunciation guide for “Trzci\u0144sko-Zdr\u00f3j,” the Polish town where Paul Tillich spent part of his childhood, as mentioned in the previous blog, it would be very welcome.\u00a0 Bhuel<\/b>, actually, athsmaoineamh<\/b> [AH-SMWEEN-yuv], I’ll let my fingers do the walking and clice\u00e1il<\/b> on the Wikipedia entry, and, lo and behold, there it is, in IPA: [\u02c8t\u0282t\u0361\u0255i\u0272sk\u0254\u00a0\u02c8zdrui\u032f]<\/a>.\u00a0 I’d still like to hear it pronounced (not surprisingly!), but for now, at least, that one’s settled.\u00a0 Someday I’d like to learn the basics of Polish, at least enough to be able to confidently pronounce short words like “prosze<\/i>” (le do thoil<\/b>) or “ojciec<\/i>” (athair<\/b>).\u00a0 Not to mention useful phrases like “Szczesliwego Nowego Roku<\/i>” (Athbhliain Faoi Mhaise<\/b>) or “Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji urodzin<\/i>!” (L\u00e1 breithe sona duit<\/b>).\u00a0 Agus b’fh\u00e9idir, l\u00e1 \u00e9igin<\/b> “dziewi\u0119\u0107dziesi\u0119ciokilkuletniemu<\/em>” agus<\/b> “pi\u0119\u0107dziesi\u0119ciogrosz\u00f3wka.”<\/i><\/p>\n

I can, however, say, “<\/i>Na Zdrowie<\/i>!” (Irish: “Sl\u00e1inte<\/b>“) reasonably well I think, but simply because I’ve heard it previously.<\/p>\n

And, hmm, now that I’ve somehow delved into Polish, I guess it’s time to say “po\u017cegnanie<\/i>.”\u00a0 Or should that be “Do widzenia<\/i>!”\u00a0 Maybe I’d better stick to Irish!\u00a0 Sl\u00e1n go f\u00f3ill, R\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/b><\/p>\n
