Probably like the English phrase/idiom - airs and graces

marab ort atá an t-éirí in airde – if you haven't on you airs and graces [the rising high]

Go raibh míle maith agat, a Bhríd!

I'd agree with Bríd. Éirí in airde is uppishness.

Tá an t-éirí in airde ort = You are being uppity.

Okay, one last question from Caibideal a Ceathair – What does dhá chionn mean at the end of this sentence:

Tá an tsláinte againn, moladh le dia dhá chionn!

Thanks! :)

Do chionn which uses the dative of ceann, is a phrase meaning "by reason of" or "because of". It takes the genitive:

Do chionn an ghadhair = by reason of/because of the dog.
Dom' chionn = by reason of/because of me.

Hence "by reason of him" would be:
Dá (do + a) chionn

In Munster Irish however, forms of do are lenited after vowels. Hence:

Tá an tsláinte againn, moladh le Dia dhá chionn! - We have our health, thanks be to God by reason of it/because of it!

Dia is leniting .

I have finally re-downloaded everything I lost (except all my notes), and will be resuming Séadna this weekend! :D Because I lost all my notes, I may be asking questions people have already answered, and for that I apologize. :oops: It will take some additional time to go through all the threads and re-save things.
