    ...talkirish.com....

    Níl scamall ar bith sa spéir. They said this means: "there isn't a cloud in the sky"

    So if I wanted to say "there is a cloud in the sky" would this be correct?

    An scamall ar bith sa spéir.

    I'm noticing that the rhythm of the words is important. I like the way the sentences aren't like verbal bricks like English tends to be. I'm also trying to override <with limited success> the last language I had to learn in school. I used to be fluent in Mexican Spanish but that was the last language I had to consciously learn so some of the habits I gained from that process are hard to overcome.

    Binse is sounding more like an obscene name in Spanish than the "been-sheh" it should. Working on this before someone beats me some handy blunt object when I ask about a bench....

    Thank you!

    It's kind of exciting seeing something written in Gaeilge and being able to know what it means...

    OK, I know...I'm odd...back to my studies.
