Since no one else has asked, I will: Where the heck does the "t" in t-léine come from???
Scratch that -- I just realized it's the same "t" as in as "t-shirt"!
I was imagining some local dialect in which the English "the" had morphed into "t"!!! :rofl:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Seems to me if it's aimed at very young basic learners it could be said simpler.
"Who is wearing a blue shirt". Rather than "Which one of them is wearing a blue shirt".
"Cé atá ag caitheamh léine ghorm?"

A lot of these learning materials come from English materials that are translated. And often the translations are by non-native speakers. The result is convoluted and unnatural. :S
