An pram é? Is it a pram? (I was wondering what the Irish for that was looked it up and it's the same word)

Literate Americans will, indeed, know what a pram is (for those out there who aren't quite so literate, it's a stroller, baby carriage, or baby buggy).

Ní hea

1) Níl sé beo: It's not alive
2) Níl sé déanta as adhmad: It's not made of wood.
3) Ní bhíonn sé i dteach. It isn't in the house
4) Tá sé déanta as miotal (agus rudaí eile). It's made of metal (and other things)
5) Tá rothaí air: It has wheels.
6) Ní rothar é: It's not a bicycle.
7) Ní pram é: It's not a pram/stroller/baby carraige/baby buggy
