Let’s take a little break from peata\u00ed<\/strong> as such (our recent theme) and look more closely at, yes, cluasa<\/strong> (ears).\u00a0 Why? \u00a0Well, did you notice those amazing jerboa ears in the last blogpost? \u00a0If not, please check it out (nasc th\u00edos<\/strong>). \u00a0Or try to find them in the graphic above. \u00a0Nach iontach iad?<\/strong><\/p>\n

So I figured we could try some fun phrases saying “the jerboa,” “the ears of the jerboa,”\u00a0and, to work in some verb practice: “They are the ears of the jerboa” and “Those ears are the jerboa’s.”<\/p>\n

Plus we’ll do the same for a gerbil, a rabbit, a bilby (remember discussing Australia’s Easter Bilby a few years back?), and a guinea pig.<\/p>\n

Well, I say, “we’ll” but really, I’ll provide the structure and leave some blanks for you to fill in, with an answer key below, of course.\u00a0\u00a0 The number of blanks is an exact correspondence.\u00a0 So, ‘ear goes.\u00a0 Couldn’t resist.<\/p>\n

a)) an \u00a0__earb\u00fa,<\/strong> the jerboa<\/p>\n

cluasa an __ __ earb\u00fa, the ears of the jerboa<\/p>\n

Is iad cluasa an __ __ earb\u00fa \u00a0\u00a0__ __ __ .\u00a0 They are the ears of the jerboa.<\/p>\n

Is leis an \u00a0__gearb\u00fa na cluasa sin.\u00a0 Those ears are the jerboa’s.\u00a0 (OR: Is leis an\u00a0 g__earb\u00fa …)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

e)) an mhuc ghuine,<\/strong> the guinea pig<\/p>\n

cluasa\u00a0 __ __\u00a0 \u00a0mu__c__ \u00a0\u00a0__uine, \u00a0the ears of the guinea pig<\/p>\n

Is iad cluasa \u00a0 __ __\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0mu__c__ \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0__uine \u00a0 __ __ __.\u00a0 They are the ears of the guinea pig.<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed that workout.\u00a0 And you’ll certainly be well prepared to discuss all kinds of ears of members of the orders Rodentia, Lagamorpha, and Peramelemorphia.\u00a0 So the next time rabbit ears come up in conversation, do write in and let us know.\u00a0 That’s real rabbit ears, not the old nickname for “aer\u00f3ga<\/strong>“!\u00a0 SGF\u00a0 — R\u00f3isl\u00edn \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
