Calling any Gaeilge speaking Business teachers - need help

Jane98

Hi,
I need help translating some accountancy terms into Gaeilge. I found some on 'focal.ie' but not others. Can anyone advise please?


Fixed assets - Sócmhainní sheasta
Current assets - Sócmhainní reatha
Net book value - Glanluach leabhar
Cost - Costas
Current Liabilities - Fiachais reatha/ dliteanais reatha
Total net assets - Glansócmhainní
Working capital - Oibre caipiteal
Financed by - ?
Long term liabilities - ?
Capital employed - Caipiteal in úsáid

Not a business teacher but since to finance is 'maoinigh' according to focal.ie and financed seems to be 'maoinithe', I would guess 'financed by' is 'maoinithe ag' or 'á maoiniú ag'.
And long term liability is on focal.ie.

Edit - try putting in the important term rather than the whole phrase. Put in 'finance' and after the translation of the word, it gives you a list of extensions and variations.

Not an Irish or business teacher but Oibre caipiteal looks and sounds very strange to me.

I think it may be more correct to say caipeatal 'irish phrase for available or useful'.

It's 30 years since I left school, so I'm well past being able to translate them, but many of the phrases seem to me to be what my old Irish teacher used to call 'héileacaptar Irish' i.e. makey uppy.

Didn't spot that but Spurious is right, 'oibre caipiteal' definitely wouldn't be the usual way something like that is phrased. 'Caipiteal oibre' is probably right.

Maybe go on to examinations.ie have a scan through the english versions of the papers and when you find the phrases you want go to the equaivalent Irish versions. At least then the phrases will be correct and will be the ones presented to students when they are doing their exams eventually instead of using makey-uppy phrases.

That should be "Caipiteal Oibre", not "Oibre Caipiteal".

Caiseoipe19

"Financed by" might be translated as "maoinithe ag...".

Well, that's based on the verb Maoinigh being the the verb "to finance/endow/fund", but that's just my take on it

Try focal.ie

+1.

Or, you can search for the phrase you want within the examinations.ie website by following this format in google:
"working capital" site:.examinations.ie

This, for example, tells you striaght away that the 2011 LC Ordinary Level Business exam had this question: "Calculate the Working Capital Ratio for 2010 and 2009", and if you switch to the Irish version of that paper you'll see:
"Ríomh Cóimheas an Chaipitil Oibre do na blianta 2010 agus 2009."
(In this case, not only to you find out that "Caipiteal oibre" is correct, but you get the Tuiseal Ginideach for good measure!)
