Fógra seirbhíse: bhí codanna áirithe de Pota Focal www.potafocal.com agus Intergaelic www.intergaelic.com as feidhm le tamall anuas: an litreoir, an caighdeánaitheoir, agus na hinnill aistriúcháin idir na Gaeilgí éagsúla. Tá sé sin ceartaithe anois. Sleamchúis na hacmhainne daonna ba chúis leis!

Jab ar son dhá chúise!

www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2... While proficiency in foreign languages is now a challenge for contemporary Irish society, it was once viewed as central for promoting Ireland’s diplomatic and revolutionary aims. ~ @siobhraaiken.bsky.social B’fhearrde go mór muid dá mbeadh líofacht níos forleithne.

Achainí ar pholaiteoirí agus lucht aistrithe óráidí polaiteoirí: Tá sé ceart go leor an uimhir 10 a athrú go 20 scaití. Is deise i bhfad 'na scórtha blianta' in áit 'na deicheanna de bhlianta'. Scaoiligí uaibh 'decades' an Bhéarla.

Tá Ollscoil Mhá Nuad sa tóir ar speiceas neamhchoitianta: daoine le scileanna ríomhaireachta + Gaeilge + bainistíochta. www.teg.ie/nuacht/oifig...

My sentiment exactly. The myth that Irish is a difficult language only makes sense if you only speak English. From English, everywhere is uphill.

Nuair a bhíonn an scríbhneoir idir dhá chomhairle idir "fadhb" agus "fabht"... (Spoiler: mise an scríbhneoir. Tarlaíonn sé seo domsa go minic.)

Tá meas mór agam ar an obair a dhéanann Rónán, faoi hata Oideas Gael agus faoi hataí eile.

Beidh Corpas Náisiúnta na Gaeilge (corpas.ie) aon bhliain d’aois i mí na Samhna, mar sin tá sé in am do chomhdháil!

Are you kidding? An __ ______ ___ tú?

I think if Britain colonised your country of origin you should get free BBC iplayer.

Did you now that the verb for ‘to be’ is the only Irish verb that has two present tenses? #Gaeilge

Yes, but I don't watch it much. Tá, ach _______ ag féachaint uirthi mórán. (a) níl mé (b) ní bhím Bonus points for explaining why! :-)

Most PhD theses do nothing but gather dust in a university library somewhere. I don’t want that to happen to mine, so I’ve started grave-robbing chapters from it and giving them a new life as blog posts. Here’s one, more will follow.

Tá clú agus cáil ar Karel Čapek as an focal ‘robot’ a chumadh. Ní faoi na róbait amháin a bhíodh sé ag scríobh, áfach.

Is breá liom scéalta grinn an scríbhneora Eilvéisigh Martin Suter. Is breá liom chomh mór sin iad gur aistrigh mé ceann acu go Gaeilge. www.lexiconista.com/offtopic/an-...

A lot of people go through their lives without ever noticing the systems they are a part of and I've found this is an area where autistic people show up like ancient prophets. We see the system, we learn its history, we tell people about it. It'd like a magic trick - pulling a coin from the air.

Tá achoimrí go leor aighnithe, ach síneadh ama iarrtha freisin. Thógamar cinneadh go sínfear spriocdháta na comhdhála go Dé Domhnaigh, 8 Meitheamh anois. = Having gotten some requests, we have decided to extend the deadline to Sunday, June 8. Scaipigí an scéal | Spread the word! #linguistics
