Irish poetry i have done way too many poems ,what emotions will cover me for the day ?

Jack_OLantern

I'm terrible at Irish, aiming for high D or C :-). My teacer told us to learn Bron, Fearg, Dochas/Eadochas, Feintrua, and Gra.

I don't have a clue what they mean but there you go. I might be wrong though.

positivealf

I believe Fearg, Gra agus Bron will be on. If you cover yourself for bron everything will be alright.

examstress

Neither is mine, according to my friends. I don't really speak Irish very well. I usually use two phrases; Nil is agam or Ni thuigim. Always works. Except in the JC. Doesnt work too well then.

Do you think I'll be ok if I just do mac eile? O.o

positivealf

Lol I'm only doing one poem based of 'anger' and it's 'An tÓzon' whatever emotion that comes up on the test i will find a way to make it compatible. Irish teachers suck at teaching, thank goodness for internet.

I'm doing an tOzon too, it has so much more than anger! It's emotions include:
Grá
Fearg
Dóchas
Brón
Díomá and a few others!

yeh that's why i chose it, i will just replace the 'fearg' part of my sample answer with whatever emotion because my quotes are easily malleable ^.^

Our teacher says that he's not sure that mac eile ag imeacht will cover us..

Grá
Brón

Díoma
Grá do tuismitheoirí do phaiste
Uaigneas

He gave us a sample answer on Faoilean, which I find incredibly hard to learn off to be honest should I be ok with the one?

The poetry section in paper two follows a pattern. Mac Eile will do good if you can talk about at least two topics ..

how would you write a fearg answer with "an blascaod mor anois ? "

I see a couple of mistakes in grammar/verbs:
"Thosaigh an chéad grúpa ag seinnt" not ag seinm, seinm would be if you were talking about yourself "Seinm an giotár"
"Thosaigh Robbie ag ceol" is wrong as ceol=music, a noun. Ag ceol=musicing which doesn't make sense. If you wanted to say he started playing "Thosaigh sé ag seinnt or if you wanted to say he started singing "Thosaigh sé ag canadh"
"Cheol sé ar feadh dha uaír" is also incorrect, he played for two hours "Seinn sé ar feadh dha uaír" or he sang for two hours "Chan sé ar feadh dhá uair".
"Iontach greannmhar" I have never heard that phrase before and it doesn't sound right. If you wanted to say he was very funny "bhí sé an-greannmhar" or really funny "I ndáiríre greannmhar".
"Cheol sé" should be "Chan sé"
"Bhí an slua ag ceoil" is incorrect "Bhí an slua ag canadh"
Burgers are spelt "borgaire"

Along with what other people said it is far too short and it would be a good idea for you to learn the Aimsir Caite endings for -we although -muid is perfectly correct, it looks better if you write the endings for them
Bhíomar=we were
Chuaomar= We went
Bhuaileamar= We met
Sorry for being rather blunt, I had a better version typed
out but my computer decided to crash right before I posted it :rolleyes:

And if anybody sees any mistakes in my corrections, feel free to point them out, I'm not a teacher/examiner just a student!

If you're going to learn phrases, learn them fully, don't learn them half-off! It's better to go in write very simple phrases, that are understandable and spelt correctly, then a pile of rubbish which was roughly translated from English to Irish. If you are not confident in writing your own words, learn off phrases from your Irish book and any notes your teacher(s) gave you over the years. Don't worry you'll be grand and good luck!

To be honest, it kind of depends on the person:) I always do the 'other' drama, but I always read the questions first, and, if they don't suit, I'll do the shakespearen. I remember one year the other drama was EXTREMELY difficult so yeah x)

Thanks! I find the Shakespeare dramas sometimes hard to understand so the other drama will hopefully be okay !
