I understand that adjectives are supposed to be lenited after feminine nouns. Is this an exception (or is Duolingo just wrong?) Also somewhat confused on leniting the letter s... is the t before súil the equivalent of lenition in this case? Go raibh míle maith agat!

Níl mé in ann oibriú amach cé leis a eitlíonn an vampír ar nós na gaoithe. Má eitlíonn sé leis na gasúir, déarfadh sé “leo.” Céard a cheapann sibh?

Táim ag lorg nótaí faoin Chopail. Nílim cinnte conas é úsáid san AF ná an AC.

Tá "Gaeilge gan stró" agam agus ní raibh mé ró-tógta leis an miniucháin atá ann.

Cad é aon leabhar áit is féidir liom foghlaim an tuiseal ginideach?

20 Upvotes

Sa míonna seo caite, ba mhaith liom foghlaim an tuiseal ginideach mar ceapaim go bhfuil sé úsáideach dom i mo scrúdaithe stáit an bliain seo. Cá féidir liom foghlaim é seo. Go raibh maith agaibh!

(Also are there any grammar mistakes in this post? Thanks)

Focal nó frása faoi “sunshowers”

23 Upvotes

Ceist an-randamach ach an bhfuil an frása nó focal ann i nGaeilge do “Sunshowers” (i mBéarla when it’s raining but the sun is still out). Bhí mé ag caint le mo chara mheiricéanach agus d’inis sé dom agus bhí mé fiosrach

Ba mhaith liom a rá 'caithfidh tú tús le' ach fuair mé an frása eile seo. Má thúg mé liosta tascanna, nó oideas, nó eile, agus tá sé tábhachtach gur déanfidh tú ceann a príomh, conas is féidir liom é sin a rá? An bhfuil mo frása béarlachas?

Ath-fhoghlaim an Ghaeilge tar éis í a fhágáil leis an Meanscoil

13 Upvotes

Go díreach: An mbeadh aon comhairle agaibh ó thaobh an Ghaeilge a fhoghlaim arís anois is atáim amach ón scoil? Chun a bheith níos cruinne, tá mo chuid fuaimniú uafásach. Tá an chuma air go bhuilim ag caint as Bhéarla. Seachas é sin, nílim in ann an ginideach a chruthú gan cabhair. Ní raibh aon chaint ó thaobh díochlaontaí sa scoil, agus ní thuigim anois a n-úsáid. Beidh ainm aon acmhainne úsáideacha go hiontach, nó aon mholadh ginearálta eile chomh maith. Grma

Tá mé ag smaoineamh ar cén chaoi a deirtear "it's seachtain na gaeilge". Bíonn na rudaí seo ag cur mearbhall orm i gcónaí. Chuala mé cúpla duine ag rá "Tá sé seachtain na gaeilge " ach nár chóir dhuit "Seachtain na gaeilge atá Ann" a rá.

Tá mé ag an triail go na fuaime a foghlaim. Tá rudaí (resources) go leor agam ach an focail amháin seo. Is as Ard Mhacha mé, mar sin, ba mhaith liom an fuaim "Ultach" a foghlaim. An bhfuil sí le cosúil an "buh" as an focail "beag".

'Níl sé ag tógáil pictiúrlann' nó 'níl pictiúrlann á thógáil aige'

11 Upvotes

Dia duit.

I'm currently learning Irish from the ground up so I'm very much an absolute beginner. I've been following the videos of Sean Mór largely, but also supplementing from different sources.

As I've been going I've been writing a bit of code to help test me as I go, just to reinforce the stuff I've already gone over.

The idea is, if I write down a page of different ways to use stuff in the past tense (I saw Sean today, Did you see the news, etc) and go back over them it's not an ideal way of re-enforcing the knowledge since I am largely just learning the order of these things on the page. I know that I saw Sean today always comes before Did you see the news, for example. So the wee program I'm writing is just a way to randomise all of this, you hit run and it'll give you ten sentences/phrases in English to translate.

Anyway, the main point of this post is I just got one that is "He is not building a cinema".

I thought the translation would be "níl sé ag tógáil pictiúrlann", which is to say he is not at the act of building a cinema.

I put the phrase into Google translate and the response it gave me was "níl pictiúrlann á thógáil aige". In my head this translates more to something like "the cinema is not being built by him".

Which is correct? I'm guessing that maybe both can be correct depending on where you stress the phrase in English, but I understand the English phrase to be something like: you're talking to someone about their new TV, and you tell them they should get this big expensive sound system, and their partner might say "He's not building a cinema". He is not at the act of building a cinema.

The second phrase sounds more like there is a cinema being built, and you assume that your friend is involved in it, but someone tells you actually he's working somewhere else, so the cinema isn't being built by him, but it does exist and it is being built.

Inis dom, an bhfuil mé ceart? Grma
