Questions ~Æ

Postby Æren » 2008-09-19, 17:30

Hello!
I want to ask about two collocations: do they exist? Have they any sense and have I written the correct pronunciation?
“oráiste spéir , oráiste muir ” [ɔɾˠaːʃtʃə sˠpʲeːɾʲ, ɔɾˠaːʃtʃə mɪɾʲ].

Thank's =)

Aahh,,, I wanted to say "orange sky, orange sea". It is a quote from a famous Bulgarian movie-kid-song.

spéir flannbhui is farraige flannbhui - would that be it? But I actually think you could use óraiste for the colour as well, but then it has to be preceded by the noun... Honestly, Tá teangaí Gaelach bréa, ach ní maith liom na dathanna... :lol: :lol:

Glas is used for natural things such as trees, grass, uaine for artifical sings such as car, table etc...

This is similar to Welsh because they use ''Glas'' for natural things too.

Ok... I probably will start playing with this lang for a while. I found the TY book and audio. Still for now I am dealing with the BBC lessons.
I tried to translate my name in Irish so I picked the names corresponding to mine and my dad's and tried to connect them. Here's what I got- Eóin Mac Peadar. Is it at reliable?

Hi Æren!

That was great! I mean, you definitely have a thick accent, but you got the phonemes right, which is saying a lot! I was even able to tell what dialect you were going for (Munster, right?). You said "Dia dhuit, Ivan (or at least I think it was "Ivan") atá ormsa, agus tá mé cúig (bliana)is fiche dh'aois. Tá mé go breá agus an bhfuil tusa go maith?"

A few notes: As I wrote above, you need the word for "years" - "bliana" in there; You should make sure to pronounce the "t" in "dhuit" (and make sure it's slender); the letter "á" denotes [ɒ:] or something similar in Munster, the way you pronounce it sounds more Ulster; the stress in "ormsa" is on the first syllable; you pronounced the "ch" in "fiche" almost as a [ʃ] when it should be more of a [ç] (even [h] by some people); "go" is pronounced with a schwa whereas you seem to have more of an actual [o]; I can't say for sure that your "r" in "breá" is wrong, but I would have a slender "r" there ([ʐ]) rather than the broad "r" you have ([ɾ]); the "u" in "tusa" should be roughly [ʊ] rather than [u].

Thank you! I started two days ago with Colloquial Irish. The authors say that the dialect thaught is the one of Connacht. I'm still in the very begining to even dare think of dialectal differencies :P

Unfortunately for the beginning Irish student, the dialects will become pretty apparent from the very start. It is often said (albeit by people with little actual knowledge on the topic, but still...) that if Irish were spoken somewhere like the Balkans or Scandinavia it would be referred to as three separate languages :P.

I have that book too, and it does indeed say that it teaches the Connacht dialect. What threw me off is that you used "dh'aois" rather than "d'aois", which I think is a Munsterism (but maybe it was a typo? Or did you see "dh'aois" in the Colloquial book?). In that case, I think the pronunciation of "á" should be a bit more of an [ɑ:]. It's less far back than in Munster, but not as much as in Ulster. Sorry if I'm confusing you with all the dialect talk, but it's kind of necessary when studying Irish, particularly when it comes to pronunciation.

But anyway, it's great to see another person around here learning Irish! :) Go n-éirí an bóthar leat a chara! I'm happy to answer any questions you have (if I can).

Well, what threw me into the deep was that in the book it's really written "d'aois" while I'm sure I hear "γ"(i.e. dh) in the recording. So I just figured it out as a kind of peculiarity :)

Having listened to the tapes, he definitely does say "dh'aois", and he also sounds like he has a Connacht accent, so I suppose it's not just a Munster thing. "d'aois" is also fine btw ;). Good job working that out too!

I'm tempted to go back to studying Irish. It's such a fun language, and it's no more difficult than Arabic, IMHO.

I guess it's because they resemble each other in a faint manner, one being that they have very intricate phonologies. I try to speak MSA in a watered-down accent so that I don't come across as too bookish.
