Apart from scoith which I found on focal.ie, is there a colloquial way of saying 'I gave him the chance to pass me out'.

Over-takáil to be honest.

I'd say "thug mé seans dhó dul amach tharam"

Saw that alright.. I'm just looking for the colloquial and natural way to say things to be honest.

Before cars were invented, "scoith" was being used for boats passing each other out so there is a good basis for its modern usage.

That's interesting Gal Gréine.. I wonder do native speakers use scoith in day to day speech though? I know that just cause I haven't heard it doesn't mean they don't but dul thar sounds more like what you'd hear coloquially. I was also thinking a different verb, sciorr, might be used for say if someone goes flying past you at high speed..

The old chestnut was/is : if you are walking and somone, coming from the opposite direction, 'passes you on the road', how do you translate that? Remember, neither of you is overtaking.

In Conamara, while we have signs saying ná scoith, I've never ever heard scoith used by a native speaker in conversation

Is dóigh go ndeirfainn gur chas mé le duine ar an mbealach/ar an mbóthar.

Is fiú féachaint ar Aonad 5 sa leabhar In Ord Is In Eagar le hAntain Mac Lochlainn. Pléitear Teanga Shainfheidhme nó an chaint theicniúil agus na difríochtaí idir sin agus an ghnáthchaint.
