    "Pónaí maith, cé chomh fada agus atá sé agat?"

    "What is your second name?"
    "Cad é do (shloinne/dhara ainm)?"

    "Will you be going home for Christmas?"
    "An mbeidh tú ag dul abhaile um Nollaig?"

    Tá níos mó le feiceáil thall i dTeach na nGealt. Tá do chuid Gaeilge togha, níl aon duine chun lochta a fháil le do Ghaeilge ar aon nós. Beidh fáilte romhat ann.

    Could anyone quote any more of the "phrases" from this ad, I'm trying to understand them but my Irish isn't good enough. :o:(
    first one is I like ice cream
    my attempt on the others;
    caca milis = thousand cakes?
    bhohar caleen baine = road to girls milk??

    Cáca milis = cake or in great detail-sweet cake!
    i think he says bóthar madra cáilín báinne which makes no sense at all!!
    bóthar=road
    madra=dog
    cáilín=girl
    báinne=milk

    the add is funny because he makes no sense!!
    dog road milk girl .....
    :)

    heres the add on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTNBmFveq2U&feature=related

    he doesnt make any sense just repeats some 1st class phrases like, can i got out to the toilet, and a fox, i like cake, and sharon ni bheolain, i have a jumper, there's coulds in the sky, give me cake/pastry, in that order

    oh and forget to watch right at the very end where he says Quiet, road, milkgirl, presume thats a female milkman. milkman which is fear bainne
    sharon ni bheolain is an irish presenter on RTE

    when he says caca milis he could also be referring to pastries/ biscuits etc,

    Thanks, just as I thought.
    But then again I wasn't educated in Ireland, I didn't do first class Irish.
    Adult courses do the teaching in a different order. ;)
