Deireadh Fómhair

okay, táimid ag léamh! Níl fhios.agam. cén fáth a change mo teanga default, so this part is praiseach mór! okay–rinne mé é? is féidir?

So, if you are following along at home with our read of David Walliams “Buachaill an Ghúna” then you are a few chapters in. Yeah! Let’s celelbrate that for a bit. We are actually reading a book. If we were really good little students then we would of course be diligently doing our flashcards from each chapter before we move on the next chapter….. but that is not really the point of reading. There has to be some joy in there. So yes, there are a lot of repeat words on those words lists.

What are the things that are tripping us up? Looking back at my list it is not so much new vocabulary as my weakness with the vocab that I, in theory, know. Those words that look familiar but that I just can’t be flexible with. In English I can draw a line, draw a breath and draw a conclusion. As Gaeilge tá sé an-deachair a tharriang the different concepts.

Today I am going back and looking at the verbs (and “verby” concepts, verbal nouns, verbal adjectives–let’s remember I am not a real linguist :). Here are some of the sentences that I initially did not get on first reading

a léirigh = to show

sin a léirigh = that show

Ba dhifríochtaí beaga bídeacha iad sin a léirigh cé chomh cosúil lena chéile is a bhí na tithe ar fad i ndáiríre.

Éirigh = rise

D’éirigh = got, got up

Ach d’éirigh le Dennis ceann acu a shábháil

We get it in concept, he rose up and got one (of the pictures). But I got stuck on the rise, as in get out of bed rise. My lack of flexibility with the language got me trapped in direct translation rather than concept the author is conveying. This is where I just need to read more. So it is okay for you to push on in the book and just read the whole thing and then come back and dissect each chapter. (If you are coming to this and I (hopefully) have this all nicely laid out then this is where we let you in on the secret that it didn’t actually happen that way:).

But here are the chapters words in sentences
