Before we continue our series on seasonal beverages (and I do have my eye on some May Day punches), I thought it would be interesting to take a closer look at the word for beer itself. \u00a0The word has three main forms, ‘beoir<\/strong>,’ ‘beorach<\/strong>,’ and ‘beoracha<\/strong>.’<\/p>\n

Before launching into\u00a0the forms themselves, just a brief note on pronunciation. \u00a0Note that the “r” changes from the buzzy sound of the slender “r” (beoir<\/strong>) to the “flapped r” (very briefly trilled) of “beorach<\/strong>” and “beoracha<\/strong>.” \u00a0The slender “r” sound isn’t typical in English at all, but we do see it in tons of Irish words, like “fir<\/strong>,” “tirim<\/strong>,” “bre\u00e1<\/strong>,” and “M\u00e1ire<\/strong>.” \u00a0If it helps, the sound of the “r” in the popular Czech name Ji\u0159\u00ed<\/em>\u00a0(IPA\u00a0[\u02c8j\u026ar\u031di\u02d0]<\/a><\/span>) is essentially the same. \u00a0The broad (or “flapped”) “r” of “beorach<\/strong>,” on the other hand, is like the “r” in the Irish words “N\u00f3ra<\/strong>,” “bosca\u00ed m\u00f3ra<\/strong>,” and “ar\u00e1n<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

So here are our three main forms:<\/p>\n

beoir<\/strong>, beer<\/p>\n

beorach<\/strong>, of beer<\/p>\n

beoracha<\/strong>, beers, and this one also means “of beers”<\/p>\n

Of course, we can add lenition (s\u00e9imhi\u00fa<\/strong>) and eclipsis (ur\u00fa<\/strong>) according to the particular phrase or sentence that we’re using:<\/p>\n

an bheoir<\/strong>, the beer<\/p>\n

ar an mbeoir<\/strong>, on the beer, or in the northern dialect, ar an bheoir<\/strong> (maybe not a real typical phrase from an English-language perspective, but remember, in Irish, a taste, good or bad, will be “on the beer” — T\u00e1 blas maith ar an mbeoir sin.<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

braichlis bheorach<\/strong>, beer wort. \u00a0Why “bheorach<\/strong>” and not “beorach<\/strong>“? — because braichlis<\/strong> is grammatically feminine and “beer” is describing it further, so we’re using “beorach<\/strong>” as an adjective. \u00a0So, same rule as the more basic “bean mhaith<\/strong>” or “scian ph\u00f3ca<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

ar bheoracha Meirice\u00e1nacha<\/strong>, on American beers. \u00a0Remember, in Irish, we could use an expression like this to describe the taste, or in the case of some American beers, IMHO, the lack of taste (beoracha micreaghr\u00fadaithe<\/strong> excepted, of course). \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because a “blas<\/strong>” (taste) is typically described as being “on” a food or drink in Irish.<\/p>\n

i mbeoracha<\/strong>, in beers. \u00a0Well, I can’t think of too many ways to apply this particular phrase, showing “ur\u00fa<\/strong>,” but in theory it could exist, perhaps in a discussion of “leasaithigh<\/strong>” (preservatives) in beers (i mbeoracha<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

na mbeoracha<\/strong>, of the beers<\/p>\n

So, those are the parameters of what we have to deal with for our cleachtadh. \u00a0<\/strong>Note that for these sentences, some forms may be repeated. \u00a0Freagra\u00ed th\u00edos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
