    Uaireannta feiceann tú fograi dhá-teangacha le gaeilge uafasach, mar shampla focal bearla le seimhú nó urú, nó focal atá aistriúchan direach ach gan an tuiscint ceanna.

    I mo thuram, is focal amadach é "timpealán" a cialleann "roundabout"


    Aon eile?

    Chonaic mé fógra uair amhain "Slow Down Now - Mall".

    Agus ar Leabharlann Bhun Crannaigh - "Dé Déardaoin" :rolleyes:

    Bhí mé ag caint le cainteoir dúchasach ag obair sa leabharlann agus duirt sí gur ciapach (annoying) an fógra, ar leabharlann i gCondae Dhún na nGall, leis an Ghaeltacht is mó in Éireann.

    Uaireannta, bíonn ainmneacha bunaithe ar an nGaeilge greannmhar/amaideach.

    Mar shampla:

    Colleen (ón bhfocal cailín): Tá sé saghas neamhphearsanta(impersonal) mar ainm do chailín agus níos measa fós do bhean fásta nó do sheanbhean!

    Síofra: is saghas síog(fairy) gránna é síofra sa bhéaloideas(folk tradition)!

    Tá chara liom ag obair do Fóras na Gaeilge faoi láthair... tá sé ag obair ar foclóir ceapaim.

    Ar aon nós, tháinig sé ar fhocail- Gaimbíneachas. Níl mé cinnte faoin litriú, ach is focail ceart é.

    Is focail ceart í "entrepreneuse" do bean-fiontraí.
    Ach is béarla é sin.

    Ceapaim go bhfuil na foclai "Bhuel" a ciallion "Well" agus "foirc" (Fork) cuiosach amaideach.

    An bhfuil fhios ag aon duine ceard e an ghaeilge le "walk-man"?

    Suil-fear??

    Nach amadach é an focal "roundabout" féin?

    Sea, focal ceart is ea. Má tá le feiceáil i m'ainm, "gombín" nó "gombeen" is ea an leagan as Béarla.

    Don miniú atá aige; níl sé cothrom le "enterprise" as Béarla, ach tá dea-bhealach agat. Tá sé níos cosúil le "Shylock", nó "skullduggery" as sacs-Bhéarla.

    Dea-mhéin.

    Very interesting, I never though about what the days meant in Irish :)

    Only pointing out that it should be just Déardaoin instead of Dé Déardaoin.
