\"C\u00e9<\/a>

C\u00e9 mh\u00e9ad ubh at\u00e1 anseo? C\u00faig huibhe. And in some future blog well look at why the word for egg, ubh, has so many different forms. But for now, just enjoy the dathanna C\u00e1sca! grafaic: http:\/\/www.publicdomainpictures.net\/view-image.php?image=13653&picture=5-easter-eggs<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

Bhuel<\/strong>, over the years, I written quite a few blaganna<\/strong> with an Easter theme, including basic terminology, the various forms of the word for “Easter” (an Ch\u00e1isc<\/strong>), and how to describe eating a chocolate Easter bunny (cluasa, ar dt\u00fas, de ghn\u00e1th), cluasa go ruball,<\/strong> or even a chocolate Easter bilby (bilb\u00ed C\u00e1sca seacl\u00e1ide<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

I was thinking of a t\u00e9ama reasonably traditional for this year, but then a couple of interesting news articles caught my eye.\u00a0 So, \u00f3rang-\u00fatain, goraill\u00ed, agus t\u00f3ra\u00edochta\u00ed uibheacha C\u00e1sca, seo chugaibh muid.\u00a0 Agus mar is gn\u00e1ch, na naisc th\u00edos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our first link is for t\u00f3ra\u00edocht uibheacha C\u00e1sca na ngoraill\u00ed, is iad na goraill\u00ed i Z\u00fa Cincinnati at\u00e1 i gceist.\u00a0 T\u00e1 s\u00e9 iontach suimi\u00fail a bheith ag breathn\u00fa orthu, ceann le dh\u00e1 bhascaed uibheacha, agus ag pointe amh\u00e1in feiceann muid d\u00f3igh eile leis an ubh a iompar m\u00e1s goraille th\u00fa — i do bh\u00e9al.\u00a0 Feiceann muid ubh Ch\u00e1sca i mb\u00e9al an ghoraille c\u00fapla uair.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, in addition to going through the various ways to say “Easter egg” in Irish, in today’s blog, we’ll also look at the major forms of the word\u00a0 for “gorilla.”\u00a0 In fact, I managed to incorporate most of them into the blog already.\u00a0 It’s a 4th-declension masculine noun and its forms are fairly predictable:<\/p>\n

an goraille<\/strong>, the gorilla<\/p>\n

(b\u00e9al) an ghoraille<\/strong>, (the mouth) of the gorilla<\/p>\n

na goraill\u00ed<\/strong>, the gorillas<\/p>\n

(t\u00f3ra\u00edocht uibheacha C\u00e1sca) na ngoraill\u00ed<\/strong>, the Easter egg hunt of the gorillas<\/p>\n

I suppose we could add the forms for direct address, in case you’re talking to gorillas (m\u00e1s tusa Tarzan, mar shampla<\/strong>):<\/p>\n

A ghoraille!<\/strong>, Gorilla! (in direct address).\u00a0 We might think of this as being preceded by “O,” although that gives a bit more literary feel than we necessarily need.\u00a0 And if I really wanted to call out to a gorilla, I could include “\u00f3<\/strong>” as one of the words in the phrase: \u00d3, a ghoraille<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

More casually, we might have, “H\u00e9, a ghoraille<\/strong>!” (Hey, gorilla!)<\/p>\n

The plural would be:<\/p>\n

A ghoraill\u00ed<\/strong>!, Gorillas! (in direct address)<\/p>\n

The second nasc<\/strong> below is for na h\u00f3rang-\u00fatain i Z\u00fa Lowry Park, i dTampa, Florida.\u00a0 C\u00e9 acu at\u00e1 n\u00edos gleoite\u00a0 — na h\u00f3rang-\u00fatain iad f\u00e9in n\u00f3 na p\u00e1ist\u00ed ag caint f\u00fathu?\u00a0 Do bhar\u00fail?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is actually a really fun word to decline (decline in the grammar sense), but then I enjoy declensions and conjugations anyway.\u00a0 Since the word is originally Malay and Indonesian (meaning “forest person”), we get to apply Irish inflections to a word that’s not historically Irish.\u00a0 That means, I believe, the initial Ts, Hs, and Ns, may strike you as more unusual than when dealing with a traditional Irish word like “\u00fall<\/strong>” (an t-\u00fall, na h-\u00falla, na n-\u00fall<\/strong>, with variants : an t-\u00falla, na h\u00falla\u00ed, na n-\u00falla\u00ed<\/strong>).\u00a0 Seo na foirmeacha<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

an t-\u00f3rang-\u00fatan<\/strong>, the orang-utan<\/p>\n

(l\u00e1mh) an \u00f3rang-\u00fatain<\/strong>, the hand of the orang-utan.\u00a0\u00a0 Or should it be paw (lapa<\/strong>)?<\/strong> \u00a0That question I’ll leave to all the, erm … I’ll go out on a limb here, and at least semi-coin a new word here in Irish, since I can’t find any evidence of it online, so … l’ll leave it to all the Irish-speaking pr\u00edomhacheolaithe<\/strong> out there.\u00a0 \u00a0Anyone else know any other word for “primatologists” in Irish?<\/p>\n

Anyway, hand or paw, we’re mainly interested in the tuiseal ginideach<\/strong> of orang-utan here, not anatomy.\u00a0 Note that we drop the prefixed “t” and insert an “i” at the end to say “of the orang-utan.”<\/p>\n

na h\u00f3rang-\u00fatain<\/strong>, the orang-utans, note the prefixed “h” (no fleisc\u00edn<\/strong> in this usage) and again the inserted “i,” since this is a fairly standard 1st-declension noun in Irish, despite its origins mar fhocal iasachta<\/strong><\/p>\n

(b\u00e9il) na n-\u00f3rang-\u00fatan<\/strong>, the mouths of the orang-utans; note the prefixed “n” (le fleisc\u00edn, an uair seo<\/strong>) agus tabhair faoi deara go bhfuil an “i” ions\u00e1ite<\/strong> (or should that be “idir-i<\/strong>“?) imithe agus nach bhfuil ag deireadh an fhocail seo ach an “n” \u00e9 f\u00e9in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sin \u00e9 do na ________ -\u00fatain<\/strong>.\u00a0 That’s it for the orang-utans, grammar-wise, with a little strategic blank here for you to fill in, based on what we just discussed.\u00a0 Freagra th\u00edos<\/p>\n

And finally, the real eochairfhocal<\/strong> for the day: ubh Ch\u00e1sca<\/strong><\/p>\n

an ubh Ch\u00e1sca<\/strong>, the Easter egg<\/p>\n

(dath) na huibhe C\u00e1sca<\/strong>, the color of the Easter egg<\/p>\n

na huibheacha C\u00e1sca,<\/strong> the Easter eggs<\/p>\n

(dathanna) na n-uibheacha C\u00e1sca<\/strong>, the colors of the Easter eggs<\/p>\n

Sin \u00e9 don ghramadach don bhlag seo.\u00a0\u00a0 T\u00e1 s\u00fail agam gur bhain t\u00fa sult as na naisc, agus as na d\u00edochlaonta\u00ed (paraid\u00edm\u00ed n\u00f3 t\u00e1bla\u00ed), agus as gleoiteacht na ngoraill\u00ed, as gleoiteacht na _________-\u00fatan (bearna eile le l\u00edonadh isteach), agus as gleoiteacht na bp\u00e1ist\u00ed at\u00e1 breathn\u00fa orthu (na pr\u00edomhaigh, at\u00e1 i gceist agam leis an bhfocal “orthu” anseo).\u00a0 N\u00ed d\u00f3igh liom go bhfuil an oiread sin gleoiteachta ar ph\u00e1ist\u00ed agus iad ag breathn\u00fa ar pharaid\u00edm\u00ed\u00a0 ainmfhocal!\u00a0 SGF\u00a0 — R\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n
