Well, to be perfectly honest with you, I need all the help I can get!

After writing down everything that I don't understand in the chapter, the very first thing that I do is go to your notes and learn everything that is on them. Then I look up the rest of the things that I don't understand in the Cork Irish dictionary. Between your notes and the dictionary, I've been able to find pretty much everything. So anyway, I like the notes the way they are now and if it were up to me, I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks again for taking the time and effort to do this; I really appreciate the help – Maith thú!

I've fixed some typos in the notes for Caibideal a Ceathair. Some fadas didn't come out correctly originally and a few other things.

Fágaim le huacht, a chairde, is maith liom Caibideal a Trí!

I just wanted to use something that I'd learnt in Chapter 3. I've come across a lot of nifty things in this chapter so far:

go deimhin agus go dearfa

Fágaim le huacht …

buille beag glas

7rl.

That makes one of us! Well, maybe I was just having a bad day yesterday. I got stuck on a couple of sentences I just couldn't wrap my brain around. Perhaps I'll nail them today. If not, I'll be back for help!

Any questions at all are very welcome. The next few chapters are where you meet most of the common sentence structures after which the book becomes easier.

Aye, it's well I remember your warning about the dreaded Caibideal a Ceathair.

But I also remember you mentioning that this book gets a little easier starting with Caibideal a Naoi, so I think me and Aislingeach are gonna be alright if we can just get through the first 8 chapters.

Is the corrected version posted in "Nótaí an Loin Dhuibh"?


Oh, I'll make it through, alright. I finally got my head around the part about baptizing the baby. I just needed fresh eyes, I guess. Sometimes, if I think too hard about something, it jams my circuits.

Yes, indeed.

Yeah, I know what you mean. It's not uncommon for me to spend 20 minutes trying to figure out just one sentence.
