díolachán

pog it

Here watching Comhrá and the guy being interviewed just said how there was a market in Spiddal years ago. He said 'diolachán' and it was translated in the subtitles as 'market'. The only word I knew before this for market was the 'margadh'!

So for the sake of the Irish what is the difference in any between these two words.. any difference in meaning?

Go raibh maith agaibh!

well first off i would like to point out that i often think that the translations are done weeks later and by random people on tg4 cos sometimes the context is a bit strange - also seen dialectal differences

diolachán = sale

i'd imagine its just the word he uses, where was he from

margadh has meaning of a deal and a bargain aswel as market
whereas when people here díolachán - díol has selling connotations

Conchubhar1 is right, 'díolachán' means a 'sale', as in the selling of an individual item.

Some of TG4's English subtitles are seriously dodgy. There was an incident a while back when Aengus Mac Grianna was being interviewed and he referred to 'bia kosher', (as in the Jewish religion) and it came up in the subtitles as 'party food' (as in cóisir, which is pronounced the same as kosher.) Jesus wept!
