san oíche Dé Máirt 'on Tuesday night' Learning Irish, Lesson 28

My "specialty" is Connemara Irish, particularly Cois Fhairrge dialect, but I can also speak Ulster and Munster Irish with native-level pronunciation.
Is fearr Gaeilge ḃriste ná Béarla cliste, cinnte, aċ i ḃfad níos fearr aríst í Gaeilge ḃinn ḃeo na nGaeltaċtaí.
Gaeilge Chonnacht (GC), go háraid Gaeilge Chois Fhairrge (GCF), Gaeilic Uladh (GU), Gaelainn na Mumhan (GM), agus Gaeilge an Chaighdeáin Oifigiúil (CO).

isn't it "at night, on Tuesday"?
Otherwise it's strange to use the article before oíche since Dé Máirt is definite (I think).

...`neither is English, apparently

...and here I am en France with a degree in French and hardly able to put a sentence together!

aye you're right, "piece of evidence" (?). English is so illogical. Btw it's not at school that I've learnt the word "evidence" (they don't even teach that to you lol).



where did you do your degree? in the USA or in Ireland?

Fan thusa ar an réimse chatha san oíche Dé hAoine ach beidh mise istigh sa champa agus gloine fuisce agus todóg mhór agam.

Breandán,

Thanks, I will go with your translation as is.
My friend will most likely be forced to open a book or go online for the full translation so that can't be a bad thing.

I am very much a beginner and need all the help I can get.

I think Scooby meant it should be -
more evidence that Irish isn't properly taught.
(but then English isn't my first language either)


Now I don't feel so bad that my French is crap after doing the Leaving Cert.

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

ok, so I meant: "seo fianaise eile nach dteagasctar Gaeilg i gceart".
at least, this is right
(but I'd like some native English speaker to correct my mistake, so that I try not to make it again )
