In Donegal we say "ar a trí" (we don't always use "a chlog" because "ar a + number" is enough

)

Níl mé an-sásta le 'gar de' mar ní cheapaim go réamhfhocal é 'gar'; mar sin, táim cinnte go bhfuil freagra eile ann. Dá mbeadh spás amháin ann, cuirfinn 'ag' ann, ach tá dhá cheann ann....

I decided to ignore the tribal wars going on in the background! :hide:

Off to Ciarraí amárach for a week to shake off any Ulsterisms that may have sneaked in in Gaoth Dobhair! :mrgreen:

A tour of na Gaeltachtaí wouldn't be the worst way to spend a summer! :party:
