Since we’ve been on an “orduimhreacha<\/strong>” roll recently (nasc th\u00edos<\/strong>), I thought it would be fun to try some more examples, this time embedded in Irish versions of famous (or not-so-famous) film titles.\u00a0 So I’ll provide the Irish phrase for context, and see if you can fill in the blank, using the ordinal number with the right suffix.\u00a0 Not that hard since there are only three patterns for making ordinal numbers in Irish.\u00a0 And one of them is the “-\u00fa” ending we’ve seen before.\u00a0 The other two I’m leaving up to you to remember!<\/p>\n

For simplicity’s sake, I’m focusing on “first” to “tenth” here.\u00a0 Eventually maybe I’ll look for some examples of film titles with numbers like “eighty-sixth” or “thirty-ninth.”<\/p>\n

Freagra\u00ed th\u00edos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

BTW, for any teachers using this, it’s pretty self-explanatory, and the ordinal numbers from 1 to 10 are usually taught pretty early on in any course sequence.\u00a0 So I’m not teaching them here as such, but they can be found in the answer key, of course. \u00a0The date of the film, given in parentheses, may help trigger one’s memory of the film.\u00a0 The blanks are all the same length; they don’t indicate the length of the word.\u00a0 NB: Mar leid, t\u00e1 c\u00e1s amh\u00e1in de sh\u00e9imhi\u00fa\/ur\u00fa ann agus c\u00e1s amh\u00e1in den litir “t” mar r\u00e9im\u00edr<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

BTW2, I’m not presenting the ordinals in numerical sequence.\u00a0 That would take away some of the “d\u00fashl\u00e1n<\/strong>“! \u00a0The film titles are in roughly alphabetical order.<\/p>\n

BTW3, as far as I know, none of these have official Irish-language titles.\u00a0 If they do exist, there could be slight variations, since there are often multiple choices for translations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A few “orduimhreacha<\/strong>” were used in the blogpost before that, on dates of eclipses, which is what triggered the August 13 post:\u00a0Discussing The Moon and Eclipses in Irish: Foirmeacha an Fhocail \u2018Gealach\u2019 agus L\u00e1nuruithe i 2018 agus i 2019<\/a>\u00a0Posted by\u00a0r\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/a>\u00a0on Aug 8, 2017 in\u00a0Irish Language<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

C\u00fapla n\u00f3ta:<\/strong><\/p>\n

a) In English, “Star Trek: First Contact”<\/em> has no “the” — Irish has a tendency to use the definite article a little more often than English<\/p>\n

b) Sharknado: The Second One<\/em>. OK, I basically made up ”\u00a0*Siorcnado<\/strong>,” but it is based on the Irish for “shark” (siorc<\/strong>), unless, that is, you’re talking about a few types of sharks that are not called “siorc<\/strong>” in Irish (liamh\u00e1in gr\u00e9ine<\/strong>, basking shark,\u00a0agus sionnach mara<\/strong>, thresher shark aka sea fox; t\u00e1 dorn\u00e1n eile ann, b’fh\u00e9idir \u00e1bhar blag eile? \u00a0Teideal, b’fh\u00e9idir, <\/strong>“When is a Shark not a ‘Siorc’?)<\/p>\n

f) Simply “h\u00c1thas<\/strong>” (without the “i”) is also possible, since we can use either nominative or genitive here — amazing to actually have a choice! \u00a0Also, the word “the” drops out of the initial position in Irish phrases like “the X of the Y,” so here we literally have “Inn of the Sixth Happiness” but it’s understood as “The Inn of the Sixth Happiness.”<\/p>\n
