So you\u2019ve probably been diligently stretching and touching your toes, singing, \u201cCeann, Gualainn, Gl\u00fain is Cos\u201d <\/strong>and wondering what comes next.\u00a0 <\/span>Well, maybe you\u2019d already figured it out, but, ar eagla na heagla <\/strong>(just in case):<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cs\u00faile, cluasa, b\u00e9al is sr\u00f3n\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a little more detail on some of the words:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

s\u00fail, <\/span><\/strong>an eye; an ts\u00fail <\/strong>[say: un TOO-il, the \u201cs\u201d is silent], the eye; na s\u00faile<\/strong>, the eyes<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

cluas<\/span><\/strong>, an ear; an chluas<\/strong> [say: un KHLOO-uss], \u00a0<\/span>the ear; na cluasa<\/strong>, the ears<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And how about a few idioms for these?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1. T\u00e1 s\u00fail agam go bhfuil s\u00e9 anseo.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 <\/span>I hope he\u2019s here.\u00a0 <\/span>(\u201cs\u00fail<\/strong>\u201d can also mean \u201chope\u201d)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

2. B\u00edonn cluasa ar na cla\u00edocha.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 <\/span>Walls have ears <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3. D\u00fan do bh\u00e9al! <\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Shut up!\u00a0 <\/span>(Shut your mouth!) <\/strong>aka \u201cD\u00fan do ghob\u201d agus \u201cD\u00fan do chlab!\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

4. Bhain s\u00e9 an tsr\u00f3n d\u00edom<\/span><\/strong>, He bit my nose off. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Note: \u201ccla\u00ed<\/strong>\u201d usually means a stone wall or fence, or a dike; the most basic word for a walls is \u201cballai<\/strong>.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But if we said \u201car na balla\u00ed<\/strong>,\u201d this seanfhocal<\/strong> wouldn\u2019t be (pick the best answer and see below):<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hopefully these last couple of blaganna<\/strong> helped burned a few calra\u00ed<\/strong>, as long as you were ag s\u00edneadh do mh\u00e9ir i dtreo an chinn, na gualainne, na gl\u00faine, srl., agus ag cromadh anuas <\/strong>(pointing your finger to the head, the shoulder, the knee, etc., and stooping down), and as the tachr\u00e1in<\/strong> always enjoy, doing it go gasta agus n\u00edos goiste ar\u00eds <\/strong>(fast and still faster).\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
