a few english-to-irish simple phrases
Hello everybody!Could you please check my faults in the next translations?
I am running. = Tá agam rith. Tá mé ag rith
You sister is not running with you. = Níl do dheirfiúr ag rith leat.
Is your sister running with you? = An bhfuil do dheirfiúr ag rith leat?
I need to sleep. = Teastaíonn uaim codail codladh. [the object of this construction should be a noun, codail is a verb, codladh is its verbal noun form]
I need to drink water. = Teastaíonn uaim uisce a ól.
They need us. = Teastímid uaibh uathu. [uaibh means "from you (pl)", uathu = "from them"]
He sleeps before the dinner. = Codlaíonn sé roimh an ndinnéar. [in Standard Irish there would be no eclipsis on dinnéar here (because d and t resist mutation after an), it is used only in some dialects on the south-west of the country]
I answer your question. = Freagraím do cheist.
I enjoy happiness. = Taitním Taitníonn áthas liom. [by itself, taitin means "to shine", to say "enjoy" you need to use the preposition le with it (lit. "it shines with me")]
I enjoy happiness. = Taitníonn áthas liom.
Paul enjoys ["likes" would be a better translation] the cat = Taitníonn an cat le Phól. [le doesn't cause lenition]
I play hurling with my team. = Imrím iománaíocht le mo fhoireann.
I lead the dog. = Tiomáinim an madra.
Go raibh maith agaibh! :)
