(le R\u00f3isl\u00edn)<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the Easter season, we can’t escape the promotion of “seacl\u00e1id<\/strong>,” especially in the shape of “coin\u00edn\u00ed<\/strong>” and “uibheacha<\/strong>,” and, for those down under, “bilbithe<\/strong>,” as discussed in some previous blogs (naisc th\u00edos<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

So let’s look at a few more terms related to “bia na nd\u00e9ithe<\/strong>” (.i. seacl\u00e1id, leis an leasainm bunaithe ar an Nua-Laidin<\/strong> “Theobroma<\/em>” (“of gods-food”).\u00a0 For many people, chocolate is “scoth na mbianna compoird<\/strong>” (the top choice of comfort foods).\u00a0 Others will say “macar\u00f3n c\u00e1ise<\/strong>” (literally “macaroni cheese,” as in Irish English, which is not quite the same grammatically as the American phrase, which would be “macar\u00f3n agus c\u00e1is<\/strong>,” macaroni and cheese).\u00a0 In a more Irish context, we might say “pi\u00f3g an aoire<\/strong>” for a top comfort food.\u00a0 C\u00e9ard a deir tusa<\/strong>? \u00a0For my part, I’ll happily nominate “seacl\u00e1id<\/strong>” but I’d never object to the other choices!<\/p>\n

Here are the basics for the word ‘chocolate’:<\/p>\n

seacl\u00e1id<\/strong> [SHAK-lawdj] , as a substance or as a candy<\/p>\n

an tseacl\u00e1id<\/strong> [un TCHAK-lawdj], the chocolate<\/p>\n

seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong> [SHAK-lawdj-uh], of chocolate; briosca seacl\u00e1ide, briosca scealla\u00ed seacl\u00e1ide, c\u00edste seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong><\/p>\n

na seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong>, of the chocolate; blas na seacl\u00e1ide, uigeacht na seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong><\/p>\n

seacl\u00e1id\u00ed<\/strong>, chocolates OR of chocolates; bosca seacl\u00e1id\u00ed<\/strong><\/p>\n

na seacl\u00e1id\u00ed<\/strong>, the chocolates OR of the chocolates<\/p>\n

Some types of chocolate include:<\/p>\n

seacl\u00e1id bhainne<\/strong>, milk chocolate<\/p>\n

seacl\u00e1id bh\u00e1n<\/strong>, white chocolate<\/p>\n

seacl\u00e1id leathmhilis<\/strong>, semi-sweet chocolate<\/p>\n

Some related vocabulary:<\/p>\n

s\u00edol c\u00f3c\u00f3 <\/strong>or p\u00f3naire\u00a0chac\u00f3<\/strong>, cacao (cocoa) bean<\/p>\n

crann c\u00f3c\u00f3 <\/strong>or crann\u00a0cac\u00f3<\/strong>, cacao tree<\/p>\n

c\u00f3c\u00f3<\/strong>, cocoa<\/p>\n

fondue seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong> or fond\u00fa seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong> (I’ve seen both words used for “fondue”)<\/p>\n

seacl\u00e1ideoir<\/strong>, chocolatier<\/p>\n

p\u00f3nair\u00ed car\u00faib<\/strong>, carob beans<\/p>\n

and finally, and yummily,<\/p>\n

donn\u00f3ga teo seacl\u00e1ide agus collchn\u00f3nna<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00e9adrom\u00f3ga seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong> (the singular has “sh” instead of “s” following “\u00e9adrom\u00f3g<\/strong>“: \u00e9adrom\u00f3g sheacl\u00e1ide<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

seacl\u00e1id the<\/strong> [SHAK-lawdj heh; note the “t” is silent], hot chocolate.\u00a0 Hmm, is there any difference between saying “hot chocolate” and “cocoa”?\u00a0 Bhuel<\/strong>, if there is, “cocoa” is “c\u00f3c\u00f3<\/strong>“.\u00a0 So we could say, “cup\u00e1n seacl\u00e1id the<\/strong>” or “cup\u00e1n c\u00f3c\u00f3<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

And what ‘s your choice for the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of milseogra seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

cuach\u00e1n seacl\u00e1ide l\u00edonta le c\u00far\u00f3g d’uachtar Bailey<\/strong><\/p>\n

OR<\/p>\n

c\u00far\u00f3g sheacl\u00e1ide cup\u00e1n chruthach le hanlann de ghrinid\u00edn agus mirib\u00e9al<\/strong><\/p>\n

And the mionghluais<\/strong> for those two is:<\/p>\n

anlann<\/strong>, sauce (le hanlann<\/strong>, with sauce)<\/p>\n

cruthach<\/strong>, shaped<\/p>\n

cuach\u00e1n<\/strong>, small cup<\/p>\n

c\u00far\u00f3g<\/strong>, souffl\u00e9<\/p>\n

grinid\u00edn<\/strong>, grenadine, as in the syrup (Note that this is a different spelling from the geographic area: San Uinseann agus na Grean\u00e1id\u00edn\u00ed<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

l\u00edonta<\/strong>, filled<\/p>\n

mirib\u00e9al<\/strong>, mirabelle<\/p>\n

uachtar<\/strong>, cream (d’uachtar<\/strong>, of cream)<\/p>\n

And getting back to the Easter theme, which form of the word ‘chocolate’ would you choose to complete these phrases?\u00a0 Remember, gender (inscne<\/strong>) is the determining factor here.\u00a0 Seo na roghanna: seacl\u00e1ide, sheacl\u00e1ide<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) coin\u00edn _______________<\/strong><\/p>\n

2) ubh ________________<\/strong><\/p>\n

3) bilb\u00ed ________________<\/strong><\/p>\n

4) bilbithe _____________<\/strong><\/p>\n

5) uibheacha ___________<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maybe in some future blog we’ll revisit another popular Easter candy, p\u00f3nair\u00ed gl\u00f3tha\u00ed<\/strong>, as introduced in https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/irish\/sos-ponairi-glothai\/, 18 Aibre\u00e1n 2011<\/strong>.\u00a0 T\u00e1 a l\u00e1n blasanna suimi\u00fala ann, cuid acu neamhbhlasta, c\u00e9ir chluaise, mar shampla (de r\u00e9ir leabhartha J. K. Rowling sa tsraith Harry Potter).\u00a0 SGF — R\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Freagra\u00ed: 1) coin\u00edn seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong> (initial “s” because “coin\u00edn<\/strong>” is masculine); 2) ubh sheacl\u00e1ide<\/strong> (initial “sh” because “ubh<\/strong>” is feminine); 3) bilb\u00ed seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong> (“s” because “bilb\u00ed<\/strong>” is masculine); 4) bilbithe seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong> (“s” because “bilbithe<\/strong>” is plural, not specifically because it’s masculine); 5) uibheacha seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong> (back to “s,” i.e. unlenited, because “uibheacha<\/strong>” is plural<\/em>; although it’s feminine, the rules change when the noun is plural)<\/p>\n
