\u00a0(le R\u00f3isl\u00edn)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The last blogpost (nasc th\u00edos<\/strong>) introduced a few words from off the beaten track, even though the basic vocabulary was probably pretty familiar for advanced beginners and up.\u00a0 Today we’ll look at some of the more familiar words from that post, but with some new examples and contexts.\u00a0 And a post after that will deal with the perhaps less familiar words.<\/p>\n

So the words for review are divided into two categories:<\/p>\n

bun\u00fasach: \u00e1thas, breithe, cine\u00e1l, dl\u00fath, domhan, iontas, r\u00e9alta, teagmh\u00e1il, url\u00e1r<\/strong><\/p>\n

beag\u00e1n neamhchoitianta: abhac, aistear, cumra\u00edocht, muisc\u00edt, muscaed\u00f3ir, \u00f3sta<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m not going to try to give all the plurals and genitive cases here, just as they relate to the movie titles discussed in the previous blogpost.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00d3, agus d\u00e1la an sc\u00e9il, t\u00e1 c\u00fapla bearna le l\u00edonadh isteach:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seo an gr\u00fapa bun\u00fasach, ar dt\u00fas gan an t-alt agus ansin leis an alt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1)) \u00e1thas<\/strong>, happiness, an t-\u00e1thas<\/strong>; \u00e1thais<\/strong>, of happiness, an \u00e1thais<\/strong>, of the happiness.\u00a0 \u00a0On its own, the phrase “the sixth happiness” would be “an s\u00e9\u00fa\u00a0 __\u00e1thas<\/strong>,” but remember, the actual movie title says “of the sixth happiness,” so we add a couple more letters, to say ‘\u00d3sta an\u00a0 __S\u00e9\u00fa\u00a0 __\u00c1tha__s<\/strong>‘ as opposed to something like “Seo an s\u00e9\u00fa __uair<\/strong>” (with no change to the word “s\u00e9\u00fa<\/strong>” and no change at the end of “uair<\/strong>“).<\/p>\n

2)) breithe<\/strong>, born, as in ‘l\u00e1 breithe<\/strong>,’ which, of course, can also be ‘breithl\u00e1<\/strong>.” from the verb ‘__ __ __ __’<\/p>\n

3)) cine\u00e1l<\/strong>, type, kind, sort; an cine\u00e1l<\/strong>, the type\/sort\/kind<\/p>\n

4)) dl\u00fath<\/strong>, most typically ‘thick’ or ‘condensed’ \u00a0but in the context ‘Dl\u00fath-Theagmh\u00e1lacha den Tr\u00ed\u00fa Cine\u00e1l<\/strong>,’ it means ‘close’ (that’s “close,” the adjective, not the verb “to close”).\u00a0 Hmm, come to think of it, what about “Condensed Encounters of the Third Kind’?\u00a0 Would that mean “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids’ meets ‘The Day the Earth Stood Still’?\u00a0 Or perhaps Twilight Zone<\/em>‘s “The Invaders'(the episode starring Agnes Moorehead)?<\/p>\n

5)) domhan<\/strong>, earth, world; an domhan<\/strong>, the earth, the world; an domhain<\/strong>, of the earth, of the world, as in “Seacht __Iontas an Domha__n<\/strong>.’\u00a0 That phrase wasn’t included in the last blogpost, which, as you may remember, dealt with “orduimhreacha<\/strong>,”not “bunuimhreacha<\/strong>.”\u00a0 The title we worked on last time was actually “Kong: Ocht\u00fa\u00a0 __Iontas an Domha__n<\/strong>.’<\/p>\n

6)) iontas,<\/strong> wonder, surprise; an t-iontas<\/strong>, the wonder\/surprise.\u00a0 And even though it’s a repeat from the previous ‘focal st\u00f3rfhocail<\/strong>,’ please complete the title again: Kong: Ocht\u00fa\u00a0 __Iontas an Domhain<\/strong><\/p>\n

7)) r\u00e9alta<\/strong>, star; an r\u00e9alta<\/strong>, the star, as in ‘An R\u00e9alt<\/strong>__ __ __ __ __ __ __’ (where the two “a’s” overlap).\u00a0 Or for a few more samples using “r\u00e9alta<\/strong>“:<\/p>\n

‘Cogadh na R\u00e9alta_<\/strong>_,’ meaning ‘__ __ __ __\u00a0\u00a0 __ __ __ __ ,” or more literally “The\u00a0 __ __ __ __ of the\u00a0 __ __ __ __,” which, by the way, as an Irish term got a grand total of seven Google hits when I searched for it.\u00a0 The English version got about 200,000,000 hits, not surprsiingly.\u00a0 Anyway, it’s an interesting contrast to the phrase “cogadh na r\u00e9altra\u00ed<\/strong>‘ (galactic wars, or more literally, the war of the galaxies).<\/p>\n

‘Cathr\u00e9alta R\u00e9altrach<\/strong>,’ which is as close as I can get to … hmm … got it? __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ . Hope you’re good at counting blanks, ’cause those are both long words in English.\u00a0 So far no Google hits for that one came up in my search.<\/p>\n

And then, taking “r\u00e9alta<\/strong>” more abstractly, we could have,<\/p>\n

“Beirtear R\u00e9alta<\/strong>,” or, hmm, should that be, “T\u00e1 R\u00e9alta \u00c1 Breith<\/strong>“?<\/p>\n

And here’s a fun one:<\/p>\n

Beith\u00edoch R\u00e9alta<\/strong>, which translates to ‘__ __ __ __\u00a0\u00a0 __ __ __ __ __’ and which apparently was the ‘teideal oibre<\/strong>‘ for none other than the 1979 ‘Alien<\/em>.’ \u00a0But actually, I’m really wondering, if we should use “beith\u00edoch<\/strong>,” which often simply refers to a cow (more specifically “b\u00f3<\/strong>“), an ox (more specifically “damh<\/strong>,” or a horse (more specifically, “capall<\/strong>” or “each<\/strong>“)<\/p>\n

We could also say “br\u00faid<\/strong>” but I see that can also be translated as a “depraved person.”\u00a0 Hmm, should we call dangerous space creatures “depraved” just because we don’t like how they behave?<\/p>\n

Or is it a monster?\u00a0 In that case, we could use “ollph\u00e9ist<\/strong>” or “arracht<\/strong>” or “ainbheith\u00edoch<\/strong>.”\u00a0 Aarrgh!\u00a0 An oiread sin de roghanna<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Maybe just straightforwardly say “org\u00e1nach cos\u00fail le m\u00e1thair sh\u00faigh<\/strong>” (squid-like organism).\u00a0 But “cos\u00fail le m\u00e1thair sh\u00faigh<\/strong>” doesn’t have quite the succinctness of saying “squid-like.”\u00a0 Aincheist<\/strong> (a dilemma) at\u00e1 ann, cinnte<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

By the way, yes, I couldn’t believe it when I first saw it, but the traditional Irish word for a squid is “m\u00e1thair sh\u00faigh<\/strong>,” which I can simply translate as “mother of sucking.”\u00a0 Umm …?<\/p>\n

And if it was really a monster, why didn’t the filmmakers use “Star Monster” as the working title?\u00a0 Well, it’s all more philosophical than I can deal with now.\u00a0 Even if it is good food for thought.\u00a0\u00a0 Good food, that is, unless the “food” consists of “d’aghaidh<\/strong>” (your face) being sucked off by the squid-like organism!<\/p>\n

Anyway, sorry for that irresistible digression, inspired by r\u00e9alta\u00ed<\/strong> — now back to our list!<\/p>\n

8)) teagmh\u00e1il<\/strong>, contact (the activity, not the person), encounter; an teagmh\u00e1il<\/strong>, the contact\/encounter, pl: na teagmh\u00e1lacha<\/strong>, the contacts\/encounters.’\u00a0 When we add the prefix, what happens?\u00a0 Dl\u00fath-t__eagmh\u00e1lacha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And finally,<\/p>\n

9)) url\u00e1r<\/strong>, floor; an t-url\u00e1r<\/strong>, the floor.\u00a0 Remember, this noun starts with a vowel, so what happens when we add an orduimhir<\/strong> before “url\u00e1r<\/strong>” (except for “first” as the “orduimhir<\/strong>“):<\/p>\n

an ch\u00e9ad url\u00e1r <\/strong>[no prefixing], an dara\u00a0 __url\u00e1r, an tr\u00ed\u00fa\u00a0 __url\u00e1r, an ceathr\u00fa\u00a0 __url\u00e1r,\u00a0 an c\u00faigi\u00fa\u00a0 __url\u00e1r, … an deichi\u00fa\u00a0 __url\u00e1r, srl.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And that wraps up the more basic vocabulary words from the previous post.\u00a0 An ch\u00e9ad uair eile, gr\u00fapa focal beag\u00e1n n\u00edos deacra.\u00a0 SGF — R\u00f3isl\u00edn<\/strong><\/p>\n

Freagra\u00ed<\/strong><\/p>\n

1)) \u00e1thas<\/strong>: the sixth happiness = an s\u00e9\u00fa\u00a0 h<\/em>\u00e1thas<\/strong>; ‘Inn of the Sixth Happiness’ = ‘\u00d3sta an t<\/em>S\u00e9\u00fa\u00a0 h<\/em>\u00c1thai<\/em>s<\/strong>.’ \u00a0In contrast: Seo an s\u00e9\u00fa huair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2)) breithe<\/strong>: from the verb ‘<\/em>beir<\/strong>‘<\/p>\n

3)) gan bhearna<\/strong><\/p>\n

4)) gan bhearna<\/strong><\/p>\n

5)) domhan:<\/strong>\u00a0as in “Seacht n<\/em>Iontas an Domhai<\/em>n<\/strong>.’\u00a0 The film title we worked on last time: “Kong: Ocht\u00fa\u00a0 h<\/em>Iontas an Domhai<\/em>n<\/strong>.’<\/p>\n

6)) iontas<\/strong>: Although it’s a repeat from no. 5: Kong: Ocht\u00fa\u00a0 h<\/em>Iontas an Domhai<\/em>n<\/strong><\/p>\n

7)) r\u00e9alta:’An R\u00e9altaistear’<\/strong> (where the final “a” of “r\u00e9alta<\/strong>” and the first “a” of “aistear<\/strong>” overlap).\u00a0 Also with “r\u00e9alta<\/strong>” in various forms and combinations:<\/p>\n

‘Cogadh na R\u00e9alta\u00ed<\/em><\/strong>,’ ‘Star Wars,” or more literally “The Wars of the Stars.” ‘<\/p>\n

‘Cathr\u00e9alta R\u00e9altrach<\/strong>,’ ‘Battlestar Galactica’ \u00a0— the Irish really translates to “Battlestar Galactic” but it’s hard to get the Latinate feel of “Galactica”<\/p>\n

Beith\u00edoch R\u00e9alta<\/strong>: ‘Star Beast’<\/p>\n

8)) teagmh\u00e1il: Dl\u00fath-theagmh\u00e1lacha<\/strong><\/p>\n

9)) url\u00e1r: an dara\u00a0 hurl\u00e1r, an tr\u00ed\u00fa\u00a0 hurl\u00e1r, an ceathr\u00fa\u00a0 hurl\u00e1r,\u00a0 an c\u00faigi\u00fa hurl\u00e1r, … an deichi\u00fa hurl\u00e1r, srl.<\/strong><\/p>\n
