Hmm, first, where’s the “orm<\/strong>,” you might ask. \u00a0If we spell out “TBO<\/strong>,” in an Irish context, we get “T\u00e1 br\u00f3n orm<\/strong>,” which means ________ (freagra th\u00edos<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Before we go any further with the “orm<\/strong>” phrases, imdheala\u00edmis<\/strong>.\u00a0\u00a0 What else can “TBO<\/strong>” stand for, i mB\u00e9arla<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Bhuel, seo ceann do lucht Tampa, Florida — t\u00e1 a fhios agaibh c\u00e9 sibhse!\u00a0 C\u00e9n f\u00e1th a bhfuil\u00a0<\/strong>“TBO” ar ainm shu\u00edomh Idirl\u00edn <\/strong>The Tampa Tribune<\/em> (www.tbo.com).\u00a0 C\u00e9n f\u00e1th nach <\/strong>“ttt.com” at\u00e1 ann?\u00a0 C\u00e1 as an <\/strong>“b” agus and <\/strong>“o” sin?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seachas sin, seo c\u00fapla TB\u00d3nna eile (i mB\u00e9arla), agus m\u00e1s f\u00e9idir liom, an Ghaeilge at\u00e1 orthu:<\/strong><\/p>\n

TBO – to be honest (mar n\u00ed chloistear an <\/strong>“h” san fhocal<\/strong> “honest”).\u00a0 Gaeilge (Uladh): leis an fh\u00edrinne a dh\u00e9anamh.\u00a0 Hmmm, “LAFAD” — an ndeirtear sin?\u00a0 I mB\u00e9arla, deirtear <\/strong>“TBH” freisin <\/strong>(“to be honest”), ach an fhadhb leis an bhfr\u00e1sa sin — cialla\u00edonn s\u00e9 a l\u00e1n ruda\u00ed eile i mB\u00e9arla chomh maith,<\/strong> “Teddy Bear Hospital,” “Total Body Hug,” “Tyramine Beta Hydroxylase” agus<\/strong> “Tight Binding Hamiltonian” freisin.\u00a0 Mh’anam!<\/strong><\/p>\n

TBO – to be ordered.\u00a0 Gaeilge: le hord\u00fa<\/strong><\/p>\n

TBO – Tamil Box Office (cain\u00e9al teilif\u00edse i Singeap\u00f3r<\/strong>).\u00a0 I nGaeilge: D\u00edoloifig Tamailise, m\u00e1s leis an teanga is m\u00f3 a bhaineann an t\u00e9arma “d\u00edoloifig,” n\u00f3 “D\u00edoloifig Thamalach,” m\u00e1s aidiacht at\u00e1 i gceist.<\/strong><\/p>\n

TBO – trajectory based operations.\u00a0 An Ghaeilge air sin?\u00a0 Oibr\u00edochta\u00ed bunaithe ar ruthag, is d\u00f3cha.\u00a0 Eolas n\u00edos cruinne ag aon rialt\u00f3ir aerthr\u00e1chta at\u00e1 ar an liosta?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bhuel, sin c\u00fapla sampla den ghiorr\u00fach\u00e1n “TBO” i mB\u00e9arla<\/strong>.\u00a0 For the rest of this blog, we’ll look at some other phrases typically expressed in Irish with the structure “T\u00e1 __ orm<\/strong>.”\u00a0 Of course, all of these could also show up with other forms of the preposition as well (ort, air, uirthi, orainn, oraibh, orthu<\/strong>, and the basic “ar<\/strong>” as in “ar an mbuachaill<\/strong>” or “ar an gcail\u00edn<\/strong>“), but these would probably be less likely in short emails and “teachtaireachta\u00ed t\u00e9acsaise.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

The sentence “T\u00e1 br\u00f3n orm<\/strong>” uses a structure typical in Irish for expressing emotions and feelings or indicating illness.\u00a0 Here are some more examples.\u00a0 An dtuigeann t\u00fa iad go l\u00e9ir?<\/strong><\/p>\n

2) T\u00e1 \u00e1thas orm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3) T\u00e1 n\u00e1ire orm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

4) T\u00e1 ocras orm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

5) T\u00e1 tart orm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

6) T\u00e1 slaghd\u00e1n orm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hmm, an ndeirtear iad seo: TAO, TNO, TOO, TTO, TSO. \u00a0Ceist do bhlag eile!<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can’t help but notice the similarity in sound between “TBO” (r\u00e1ite mar litreacha<\/strong>) and “Tebow.” \u00a0Ach n\u00edl baint\u00a0<\/strong>ar bith (BAB?) eatarthu, seachas an fhuaim <\/strong>(the sound).\u00a0\u00a0 If we really wanted to say Tebow was sad or sorry about something, bypassing his first name, we’d switch to “ar<\/strong>” for the “on” part (T\u00e1 br\u00f3n ar Tebow)<\/strong>.\u00a0 The word “orm<\/strong>” specifically means “on me.”\u00a0 BTW, everyone remembers the helping vowel sound in “orm<\/strong>,” right?\u00a0 So it sounds like “OR-um.”<\/p>\n

And finally, c\u00e9ard faoi seo<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

T\u00e1 br\u00f3n ar an mBrony.\u00a0\u00a0 T\u00e1 br\u00f3n ar na Bronies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And I suppose if we wanted to get very non-sequiturish, we could say:<\/p>\n

N\u00edl br\u00f3 ag an mBrony agus mar sin t\u00e1 s\u00e9 br\u00f3nach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Not that there’s any special reason why a Brony should have a quern, but it just sounds cool to say it.<\/p>\n

Or we could try, “N\u00ed fi\u00fa brobh br\u00f3 an Bhrony<\/strong>,” although that would be a pretty far-fetched statement also.<\/p>\n

None of which has anything to do with colloquial American English term, “bro.” \u00a0But I hope you found the expressions and abbreviations useful. \u00a0\u00a0SGF — R\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Freagra\u00ed<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) T\u00e1 br\u00f3n orm.<\/strong> I’m sad, I’m sorry, lit. Sadness\/sorrow is on me.<\/p>\n

2) T\u00e1 \u00e1thas orm<\/strong>. I’m happy<\/p>\n

3) T\u00e1 n\u00e1ire orm.<\/strong>\u00a0 I’m ashamed\/embarrassed.<\/p>\n

4) T\u00e1 ocras orm<\/strong>. \u00a0I’m hungry.<\/p>\n

5) T\u00e1 tart orm.<\/strong> \u00a0I’m thirsty.<\/p>\n

6) T\u00e1 slaghd\u00e1n orm<\/strong>. \u00a0I have a cold, lit. a cold is on me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
