Handy little phrases for Irish Oral?

Corruptedmorals

Would like to know words such as...'like', 'well', 'you know'....things like that which imply fluency! Fairly fluent though

Bhuel is well....is it pronounced like the English? Mar sin de is 'so', yeah? Is mar gheall ar..such as?

Thanks.

"Mar gheall ar" is "as a result of" I believe.

Only fluent-ish sounding thing I can think of offhand is "caithfidh mé a rá" - "I have to say".. bit of a filler that.

simu

agus mar sin de - and so on

mar sin - so, therefore

más fíor - if it's true, allegedly

pé sceal é - anyway

de réir dealraimh - it seems

ar a shon sin - despite that, however

Had my Irish Oral (mock) a few days ago - here's a few fillers I learned for it ...

Gan dabht ar bith - without a doubt
N'fheadar - I wonder
Bhí/Ní raibh mé ag súil leis an gcesit sin ... ach - I was/n't expecting that Q

Mar atá 'fhios agat féin - As you know yourself
e.g. Bhuel, mar atá 'fhios agat féin, bíonn an Ardteist beagnach thart ...

D'fheadfá a rá - You could say that
Mise a rá leat - I'm telling you
Spéisiúil go leor - Interestingly enough

Mar a dúírt mé cheana - As I said before (handy one)

Leis an fhírinne a rá - To tell the truth
Níl focal bréige ansin - There isn't a word of a lie there
Caithfidh mé a rá - I have to say

I'll post some more later

Tá phrásaí mar sin le fáil sa leabhar 'An dTuigeann tú?' ar leathanach a sé sa cheann árdleibhéil. Tá an-chuid phrásaí le fáil ach tá cuid beag den phrásaí saghas seafóideach, mar shample 'A thiarcias!' (jeepers!) Ní dheireann duine ar bith é sin, seachas sna scannáin le hadhaigh páistí.

Deadly topic! I'll be taking some of these down!:cool:
the only one I really know is "Dar ndóigh-of course"
...I'm sure everyone knows that one though:D

deise go deo

Just remembered when I was down in the gaeltacht they told us that if you have to pause to think you shoud say ''Ará'',''Bhuel'',''ceist maith''
instead of ''am'' as it makes you sound more fluent
