1) N\u00edl beathachruthanna meabhracha ar bith th\u00edos anseo!<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That may look like a mouthful, but breaks apart quite nicely. \u00a0Here’s some vocabulary to help translate it:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span>beatha<\/span><\/strong>, life, as in uisce beatha <\/strong>(whiskey, water of life) or in the phrase \u201cIs \u00e9 do bheatha<\/strong>,\u201d (a greeting, also used in the \u00c1iv\u00e9 M\u00e1iria<\/strong>) and cruth<\/strong>, shape (as a noun), cruthanna<\/strong>, shapes.\u00a0 Put them together and lenite (c->ch) and you get beatha-chruth-anna<\/strong> (with fleisc\u00edn\u00ed <\/strong>here only to show the components of the word) [BAH-huh-KHRUH-huh-nuh].\u00a0 \u201cAr bith\u00b4<\/strong> means \u201cany\u201d or \u201cat all.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The adjective \u201cmeabhrach<\/strong>\u201d [My<\/sup>OW-rukh] is related to \u201cmeabhair<\/strong>\u201d (mind, memory, consciousness, etc.).\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Just using the most basic words for \u201clife\u201d in Irish (saol, r\u00e9, <\/strong>or the word beatha<\/strong> on its own) wouldn\u2019t really convey the sense of \u201clife forms\u201d in Irish, which is implied in the phrase \u201cintelligent life.\u201d\u00a0 So you add \u201ccruth<\/strong>,\u201d or actually you could use \u201cfoirm<\/strong>\u201d (plural \u201cfoirmeacha<\/strong>\u201d) as well.\u00a0 If you used \u201csaol<\/strong>\u201d with \u201cmeabhrach<\/strong>\u201d or with other words for \u201cintelligent,\u201d such as \u201ccliste<\/strong>\u201d or \u201c\u00e9irimi\u00fail<\/strong>,\u201d it would sound to me as if the topic at hand had more to do with how someone led their life (intelligently?), or even more profoundly, whether the notion of \u201clife\u201d itself is intelligent, i.e. what is its purpose?\u00a0 Science fiction, and indeed many forms of literature, may probe the purpose of life, but I\u2019ll bail out here with suggestions for the terminology, not the answer!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2) T\u00e1\u00a0s\u00e9 n\u00edos measa n\u00e1 marbh.\u00a0 T\u00e1 a inchinn imithe.\u00a0 \u2013 An Docht\u00fair Lionard \u201cCn\u00e1mha\u201d Mac Aodha*<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong>There are at least two possible words for \u201cbrain\u201d in Irish.\u00a0 \u201cInchinn<\/strong>\u201d refers primarily to the physical brain, and if we\u2019re talking about its disappearance, as in this sentence, inchinn <\/strong>is the most suitable choice.\u00a0 In some circumstances, one could use the word \u201cmeabhair<\/strong>,\u201d which we just discussed, but meabhair<\/strong> has the more abstract meaning (\u201cmind,\u201d etc.).\u00a0 Of course, one can \u201cgo out of one\u2019s mind,\u201d for which yet another word, \u201cciall<\/strong>\u201d (reason, sense, mind) is typically used (Chuaigh s\u00e9 as a chiall<\/strong>).\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
