    Measaim go bhfuil sé ag iarraidh fáil amach céard a dhéineann daoine anseo le haghaidh spóirt agus spraoi. :)

    Brón orm - is dócha go rabhas ag iarraidh bheith ró-smairteáilte. Bhí an leagan ceart ag Ardtiarna Feithid:

    "Cad a dhéanann tú le haghaidh spraoi."

    Go bhfios dom ní hionann 'fun' agus 'greann' sa chomhthéacs seo. De réir an foclóra ciallaíonn greann; humour, pleasantry, joking, jesting. 'Sé sport nó spraoi atá uait.

    I mo chás féinig is beag spraoi nó sult a bhíonn agamsa in aon chor. Andúileach idirlín mise is caithim mo shaol os chomhair an scáileáin anseo im'oifigín clástrafóibeach. Ní bhogaim amach ach le haghaidh cúpla pionta anois is arís.

    Sorry, I suppose I was trying to be too smart. Insect overlord had the right version:

    "Cad a dhéanann tú le haghaidh spraoi."

    As far as I know fun and greann are not the same in this context. According to the dictionary 'greann' means 'humour, pleasantry, joking, jesting'. Sport or spraoi are the words you need.

    In my own case it's little fun or spraoi I have at all. I'm an internet addict and I spend my life in front of the screen here in my little claustrophobic office. I only wander out fro a few pints occasionally.

    Don't be worried about small mistakes. Just plough away.

    Sea, rinne mé taighde ar an focail 'fun' and i saw 'for fun' was 'le greann' so chuir mé 'le greann' i m'abairt. Cheap mé go ndearna sé ciall! :D Bhuel níl aon dochar ag tabhairt faoi

    Seo suíomh áisiúil eile chun samplaí d'abairtí a fheiscint:

    Má tá tú amhrasach faoi aon fhocal buail isteach sa bhosca é agus gheobhfaidh tú go leor samplaí den fhocal in abairtí éagsúla.

    Go raibh maith agat Mísasta, is cosúil go bhfuil líonláithreán úsáideach. Bíonn imní orm go minic go ndeanaim botúin amaideach.
