"How to express emotions in Irish. This book is a must for anyone who is remotely interested in the Irish language."

(Professor John Gartland, Korea National University of Education).

"The voices are real, not abstract artifacts designed to fit our pre-conceived images...They share their joy,their pain,their rage, as they bring together for us their words in times and spaces we can recognize as our own"

(Dr. Steve Conlon, Head of Graduate School of English, ABAC Assumption University, Bangkok, Thailand.)

"Remotely..."

Thug mé é sin faoi deara freisin.....

What's wrong with "remotely"?

John Gráinne is, to borrow Lughaidh's term, a supernative speaker, i.e. his Irish is full of traditional words and phrases that many younger natives wouldn't know. I'd say this book is well worth a look.

I agree that it looks worthwhile; that is why I posted it. The word 'remotely' seems a strange choice and sounds a bit desperate whereas, as you said, it looks like it could have a richness worth investigating. Maybe we are overanalysing the use of the word. If anyone has the book, it might be good to hear from them as there could well be a few gems to share.

_________________

It makes it sound like only people who are "remotely" interested should buy it, and people who are "closely" interested or "passionately" interested needn't bother.

Oh, I was just wondering because I'd use remotely to mean "in any way, shape or form" or "at all". I'm not much of an authority on English though, considering I wrote "he's" for "his" in my previous post!


Gan amhras! B'fhéidir go bhfuil Muimhneacha nó Connachtaigh i measc a charad, agus tá roinnt dá gcanúintí féin le fáil ins an leabhar so.

D'ordaigh mé 'n leabhar sin inné.
Tá cuma mhaith orthaí. Ach is é mo cheist, cad chuighe ar fhan siad go rabh John Ghráinne thart fá 90 bliain d'aois le leabharthaí mar sin a dhéanamh leis? Ba chóir foclóir iomlán a dhéanamh d'achan rud atá ar eolas aige... agus leabharthaí eile do na scéaltaí uilig atá aige.
Súileas agam go ndéanfar cuid mhór leabharthach mar sin le John Ghráinne!

Ní fheadar den domhan a Lughaidh. Ní hannamh a deintear rud den tsaghas so, cainteoirí dúchaise atá Gaelainn bhinn bhlasta 'cu, agus ní scríobhtar foclóir nó leabhair mar gheall ar a n-úrlabhra go dtí go bhfuilid siad an-aosta. Is béas é a théann siar chomh fada le hathbheochan na Gaelainne.

In America “even remotely” does indeed mean in any way, shape or form. Sounds a bit odd without the “even” though….
