Curiously, at least to me, the Irish for \u201chot dog\u201d isn\u2019t based on the word \u201cdog,\u201d (which would be \u201cmadra<\/strong>\u201d), but on \u201cbrocaire<\/strong>\u201d (a terrier).\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Tinte ealaine <\/strong>(fireworks, lit. \u201cfires of art\u201d) or Piriteicnic <\/strong>(pyrotechnics): these could include the Roth Chaitr\u00edona<\/strong> and the coinneal R\u00f3mh\u00e1nach<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3. \u00c9ada\u00ed a bhfuil na dathanna dearg, b\u00e1n agus gorm orthu.<\/strong>\u00a0 Especially noticeable are the hata\u00ed arda Uncail Sam<\/strong>, made from pluis<\/strong>. A lot of people, and sometimes even madra\u00ed<\/strong>, also wear band\u00e1na\u00ed dearga n\u00f3 band\u00e1na\u00ed gorma.\u00a0 <\/strong>\u201cBandana\u201d is one word which requires very little change in Irish, just adding a long mark, or an \u201ci-fada\u201d <\/strong>(\u00ed) for the plural.\u00a0 Just as well, since it\u2019s already a \u201cfocal iasachta<\/strong>\u201d (borrowed word) in English, coming from Hiond\u00fais<\/strong> via Portaing\u00e9ilis<\/strong>, a small but active trade route for words, also including the English \u201cverandah\u201d (“vearanda<\/strong>“ i nGaeilge, d\u00e1la an sc\u00e9il<\/strong>). \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4. Daorchluiche<\/strong>, although the English word \u201cbaseball\u201d is also widely used in Irish.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

5. Par\u00e1id\u00ed go leor<\/strong>, parades galore.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
