Go raibh maith agat!

Conas a deireann tú moderator as Gaeilge pé scéal é? Ceannaire? Cinnire? ...

Comhghairdeachas, SIMU.

Déarfainn go bhfuil an focal 'ceannaire' ró-leathan. Molaim 'Modhnóir' ach níl a fhios agam an bhfuil focal eile in úsáid cheana féin do chláracha plé.

Fáilte agus fíche romhat, a Shimú.

Usáidim féin modhnóir a Shimu, ach níl mé cinnte an téarma cuí é. D'fhéadfaimis é sin a phlé!

Fáilte romhat a chomhmhodhnóir!

*Sinéad*

modhnóir-bheul sin an rud faoi teanga, nuair úsáideann daoine focal go forleathan is focail ceart é agus caithfidh rudaí a thosnú áit éigin.

Sea, tá modhnóir níos deise ná cinnire nó ceannaire - cuireann siad sin an scoil i gcuimhne dom!

Rath a ghuí leat, a simu.

Is "cinnire" é, a cheapaim.

Ó, ceist do aon duine uaim, cad is an focal "bheul" as Béarla?

"Bhuel" is a directly 'Irish-ised' version of "Well"...

Y'know... like "tacsaí" for "taxi"...

Oh, I see. Down with the bastardisation of Irish! Etc. Damnú ar an rialtas.

Bhuel, Cumhacht, a chara, táim fiosrach, cén bhaint atá ann idir an focal ‘bhuel’ agus an rialtas?

Bhí gach aon teanga a bhí ann riamh á bastardú agus á truailliú ag teangacha eile ó scriosadh Túr Baibéil. D’osclaíos leathanach gan aird i mo COD agus fuaireas an focal –

“Divan” - From French or Italian via Turkish and Arabic from Persian.

Tháinig and chuid is mó des na focail Bhéarla ar an leathanach céanna tríd an bhFraincís ón Laidin agus tháinig cuid des na focail Laidin on sean-Ghréigis.

Tá an foclóir Gaeilge lan de fhocail a d’eascair ón Gréigis, Laidin, Lochlainnis, Fraincís agus dar ndóigh ón Béarla. Tá ‘bhuel’ in úsáid le fada.

Well, Cumhacht, I’m curious, what is the connection between the word ‘bhuel’ and the government?

Every language that has existed since the destruction of the tower of Babel has been ‘bastardised’ and corrupted by other languages. I opened a page at random in my Concise Oxford dictionary and came across the word :-

“Divan” - From French or Italian via Turkish and Arabic from Persian.

Most of the other words on the page came through French from Latin and some of the Latin words came from ancient Greek.

The Irish dictionary is full of words that originated from Latin, Greek, Norse, French and of course English.

“Bhuel” is in use in Irish for a long time.

That part of my post was an unenthusiastic attempt to prevent it from looking like spam, while confirming that I now understand what 'bhuel' means.

What's the Irish for irony?
