hey does anyone know how to say:
"i won't go back"?

in irish, btw...;P

dlofnep

Ní rachaidh mé ar ais.

LazyClouds

thanx man, ur awesome.

LazyClouds

oh, how do i say:
"i dont know where im goin this year"?

dlofnep

Níl a fhios agam ca bhfuil mé ag dul i mbliana.

LazyClouds

ok, youve proved your yourself..;) heres a long one for you!:
"Im doing it for primary school teaching. I go to a night course on Mondays and it helps a lot. There are 15 other students in the class. I did ordinary irish last year for the leaving cert, and I only started higher a couple of months ago!!"

dlofnep

I'm not a gaelgoir, so this might not be grammatically correct.

Táim ag déanamh é don múinteoireacht bunscoil. Téim go dtí cúrsa óiche Dé Luain agus cabhraigh sé liom. Tá 15 mac léinn (pl?) eile sa rang. Rinne mé gnáth leibhéal annuraigh don Ardteist, agus tosaigh mé ach cúpla mí ó shin..

dlofnep

I'm not doing your homework btw, am I?

LazyClouds

no, ha! this would be useful though... no im studyin for the leaving cert by myself and i just needed some stuff to get translated because i didnt know how to do it myself. it was for the orals.
thanks anyway man, much appreciated!

Redbhoy

Plural of mhac léinn is mhic léinn or daltaí can be used too.

dlofnep

grma

and np lazyclouds

Hi guys,

do't know if this will help but there's really good course that you can do to help with orals-get a mock oral and everything-its on www.oralirish.ie

just for anyone else who's freaking about the exam!

LazyClouds

can anyone tell me how to say:
"i have no interest in "x""?

sounds easy enough, i just can't think of it....:(

dlofnep

Níl fonn orm or Níl aon suim agam

LazyClouds

thnx!
could you also tell me if there is an irish for: church of ireland?

and aswell, could you give me the irish for:
"we don’t know anything about finance, for example, taxes or banking or mortgages, we are incapable to deal with these things"

dlofnep

Eaglais na hÉireann I'd imagine..

For the second part.

Níl a fhios againn rud ar bith faoi airgeadas, mar shampla - cánacha nó baincéireacht nó morgáistí.. Ní féidir linn déileáil le rudaí seo.

Might want to get someone to double check that though

LazyClouds

can i have the translation for:
"But, at the same time, I really have no idea when it comes to politics"
thanx so much!

corkhero

I would say,

Ach freisin nil aon fhios agam faoi rudai politiochta.

Not a direct translation but close.

LazyClouds

thanx man, can u do this one too?
"But i know very little on this matter"

PurpleFistMixer

Also,
"Ach, ag an am chéanna, i ndáiríre níl eolas agam i gcursaí polaitíochta" ... or something. The "níl eolas agam" is a bit awkward, there's probably a better way of phrasing not having a clue about something. I suppose it depends on how much of a clue you have..

what does the "ag an am chéanna" mean?

this is so that i can end a particular conversation, terrorism. so i know NOTHING.

Ag an am chéanna is literally "at the same time".

And well, you don't have to know anything about the political aspect of terrorism to have opinions on it. : p Concerned about the Oral?

LazyClouds

very...
:eek:

corkhero

You will be ok. The oral isnt that hard.

Your teacher should give you pre prepared answers to most questions.

Also if u dont talk very fast it drags out the time a bit.

The examiner will help you also

corkhero

for the i know nothing about this matter.

say nil aon eolas agam sa abhar seo ach ta an suim agam i

means, ive no knowledge in this subject but i'm very interested in. . .

then have a pre prepared answer on something your interested in.

LazyClouds

i dont have a teacher...
im repeating irish. i did ordinary last year.
its really annoying because i had spent half a year trying to forget irish...:(
terrible i know.
thanx for that man.

corkhero

No prob.

Maybe you should listen to RnaG and TG4. you will hear the different accents and stuff then.

Thats what we were told in school. worked well for those that did it.

LazyClouds

how do i say:
"you're a tall red head"??
and is this sentence correct:
"tá brón orm ar mo spairn roimhe seo"
its supposed to mean:
"i'm sorry for my past unpleasantness"

LazyClouds

what does réidh chun breith mean???
anyone??
