    Irish Rocks!:D

    Dá mbeadh Sex and the City á aistriú go Gaeilge, d'fhéadfaidis " Ag bualadh leathair sa chathair" a thabairt air!

    If Sex and the city was being translated into Irish, they could call it "Ag bualadh leathair sa chathair" - it rhymes!

    Tá an sobal cosúil le capall ag rás. (The foam is like a horse galloping!)


    Níl aon fhocal eile agamsa ar thomhas, pé scéal é. Cén fáth go bhfuil tú ag lorg focal eile air?


    I have no other word for riddle in Irish anyway. Why do you want another word for it?
