Bhuel<\/strong>, they say that “\u00e1ille<\/strong>” is in the eye of the “dearcad\u00f3ir<\/strong>” (or “f\u00e9achad\u00f3ir<\/strong>“).\u00a0 And perhaps even more to the point, “N\u00ed h\u00ed an bhre\u00e1thacht a bhruitheann na pr\u00e1ta\u00ed<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

And I’m sure that all “\u00fain\u00e9ir\u00ed madra\u00ed<\/strong>” think that their own “madra<\/strong>” is “go h\u00e1lainn<\/strong>.”\u00a0 But still, we can probably acknowledge that some dogs have more classic proportions and some others, well, the good thing is that dogs don’t have such a sense of “f\u00e9ineacht<\/strong>” as we humans do.<\/p>\n

This year’s winner of the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest is named Quasi Modo, a pit bull\/Dutch shepherd \u00a0mix.\u00a0 Quasi Modo’s key feature is being “sp\u00edonghearr<\/strong>” (short-spined), the result of “anchuma \u00f3 bhroinn<\/strong>.”\u00a0\u00a0 Some say Quasi Modo \u00a0looks like a “hi\u00e9ana<\/strong>” or a “diabhal Tasm\u00e1nach<\/strong>.”\u00a0 And I agree, the comparison is apt.\u00a0 Quasi Modo is “fadchosach”<\/strong> and “dronnach<\/strong>,” i.e. t\u00e1 cuma cruite ar a d(h)roim.<\/strong><\/p>\n

D\u00e1la an sc\u00e9il, c\u00e9n f\u00e1th a nd\u00fairt m\u00e9 “a d(h)roim”<\/strong> (his\/her back)?\u00a0 Deir cuid de na hailt a l\u00e9igh m\u00e9<\/strong>\u00a0 “his back,” srl.\u00a0 ag tagairt don mhadra seo (mar mhadra fireann) agus deir ailt eile ruda\u00ed mar<\/strong> “her back.”\u00a0 Deir alt amh\u00e1in (ar a laghad),<\/strong> “its back” (.i. gan inscne ar bith<\/strong>).\u00a0 \u00a0An bhfuil a fhios ag duine ar bith agaibh c\u00e9 acu abairt at\u00e1 f\u00edor: Is madra fireann \u00e9 Quasi Modo N\u00d3 Is madra baineann \u00ed Quasi Modo?<\/strong><\/p>\n

C\u00e1 bhfuair an t-\u00fain\u00e9ir an madra seo?\u00a0 \u00d3 dh\u00eddean ainmhithe, agus moladh ar leith uaim ag dul d’oibrithe na d\u00eddine sin.\u00a0 Is \u00f3 dh\u00eddean mo dh\u00e1 mhadra f\u00e9in.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Anyway, it does make me a bit sad that this dog’s malformed spine gains it the label “gr\u00e1nna<\/strong>,” but, well, like I said, dogs probably don’t fully understand that they’re competing for “gr\u00e1nnacht<\/strong>.”\u00a0 Quasi Modo (I keep wanting to just say “Quasi,” but I’m not sure if the owner has adopted a shortened moniker, so I’ll stick with “an t-ioml\u00e1n l\u00e9ir<\/strong>“) looks quite happy and content. \u00a0So comhghairdeas libh, a Quasi Modo is d’\u00fain\u00e9ir (neamhainmnithe sna hailt a l\u00e9igh mise).\u00a0\u00a0 T\u00e9ann $1500 leis an mbua, agus n\u00ed haon d\u00f3ith\u00edn \u00e9 sin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think that all the dogs in the show (in fact, all dogs, period) are “gleoite<\/strong>,” and so I would say “gr\u00e1<\/strong>” not “gr\u00e1nna<\/strong>,” and “maisi\u00fail<\/strong>” not “m\u00edofar<\/strong>“!<\/p>\n

\"Madra<\/a>

Madra sa chom\u00f3rtas “World’s Ugliest Dog” i gCalifornia i 2013. De r\u00e9ir cos\u00falachta, is ‘Gliobach S\u00edneach’ \u00ed an madra seo. (By Don McCullough from Santa Rosa, CA, USA (Ugly?) [CC BY 2.0 (http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons)<\/p><\/div>\n

Often, the Ugliest Dog winners are “Gliobaigh Sh\u00edneacha<\/strong>,” a breed that seems to strike most of us as “an\u00e1sta<\/strong>,” “sconribeach<\/strong>,” and “m\u00edmhaiseach<\/strong>” \u00a0(not to mention “gr\u00e1nna<\/strong>” and “m\u00edofar<\/strong>“). \u00a0\u00a0Ach bail \u00f3 Dhia orthu, nach cairde d\u00edlse na ndaoine iad na madra\u00ed go l\u00e9ir? <\/strong>At least this year there was some variety to the reign of the Chinese Cresteds in winning this contest.\u00a0 And it’s a good reminder that wonderful pets can be found at a “d\u00eddean ainmhithe<\/strong>,” as was Quasi Modo.<\/p>\n

Before we finish, how about a little Q & A, as much to practice Irish as to learn more about Quasi.\u00a0 (Oh, I give up, I just want to use the “leasainm<\/strong>“).\u00a0\u00a0 Freagra\u00ed th\u00edos.\u00a0 Agus naisc do phicti\u00fair\u00ed de Quasi ina ndiaidh.<\/strong><\/p>\n
