So, finally back to actual “peata\u00ed<\/strong>,” after some detours talking about sr\u00f3na, nathracha (an mamba dubh), agus bia Meicsiceach (enchilada fada); naisc th\u00edos<\/strong>.\u00a0 We had left off with cait<\/strong> agus pisc\u00edn\u00ed<\/strong>, and now, not surprisingly, we’ll start with an madra<\/strong> (the dog).\u00a0 Or as some say, “an gadhar<\/strong>, “which also means “the dog.”\u00a0 But which isn’t to be mistaken with “an c\u00fa<\/strong>,” which usually means “the hound,” sometimes “the greyhound.”\u00a0 And while we’re still on variations in the wording, there’s also the Donegal Irish version, “an madadh<\/strong>” (the dog).<\/p>\n

But for today, let’s mostly concentrate on the face of the dog, just like we did the cat, a few blogposts back.<\/p>\n

What does the winsome dog say in the graphic above?<\/p>\n

Deir an madra gna\u00ed\u00fail, \u201cAn f\u00e9idir leat na litreacha at\u00e1 ar iarraidh a chur sna bearna\u00ed?\u201d Leid: t\u00e1 a l\u00e1n athr\u00e1 ann.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Quite straightforwardly: “The winsome dog says, “Can you put the missing letters in the blanks?” Hint: There’s a lot of repetition (i.e. don’t think that each answer has to be different). \u00a0“Athr\u00e1<\/strong>” might be new — it literally means “re-say.”<\/p>\n

Here’s the text from the picture above.\u00a0 The answers and a translation appear below.<\/p>\n

    A lot of those were the same as what we saw previously in the cat picture, but I’ve added a few new phrases.\u00a0 And this time, since the dog him- or herself is speaking to us, the phrases are mostly in the first person.\u00a0 In other words, we’re now saying “my ears” and “my soulful brown eyes.”<\/p>\n

    Hope you enjoyed.\u00a0 SGF\u00a0 – R\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \u00a0Seo na freagra\u00ed agus na haistri\u00fach\u00e1in: <\/strong><\/p>\n

    9. i)\u00a0mo p_h_aist\u00ed donna (iad os cionn mo s_h_\u00fal, ag cur le mo g_h_n\u00fais mheallacach), my brown patches (above my eyes, adding to my, shall I say, here, “fetching” appearance; very literally, the phrase in parentheses is: them above my eyes, putting with my fetching appearance).<\/li>\n
    10. j) mo g_h_eolbhaigh g_h_leoite, my cute jowls<\/li>\n
    11. k) an frithchaithimh i ngach s\u00fail d__onn\u00a0 t__ochtmhar, the reflection in each brown soulful eye.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      And just for a workout, the singular forms, if the plural was given above: a)\u00a0mo chluas; b)\u00a0mo sh\u00fail dhonn thochtmhar; e)\u00a0mo ghuaire; f)\u00a0m\u2019imreasc; g)\u00a0mo mhac imrisc; i)\u00a0mo phaiste donn (\u00e9 os cionn cheann de mo sh\u00faile, ag cur le mo ghn\u00fais mheallacach); agus j) mo gheolbhach gleoite (if we can even use that one in the singular)<\/p>\n
