Dia dhaoibh, a chairde!
Hope you can help me with some spoken sentences I can't fully understand.
I am writing my master's thesis about English elements the Irish language used in "Ros na Rún", but there are a few sentences I can't analyse because I don't understand all the words. Any help would be very welcome!
I uploaded the audio files of the sentences in question here:
https://sd2.1und1.de/guest?path=Audio%2 ... viewType=0(You need to click on the green button.)
As it's from a tv programme I can give you the subtitles along with my transcription so far. Parts I don't understand are marked "(...)".
1) abhaile
So ehm/when an (....) tusa dul abhaile?
subtitle: When will you be going home?
What I wonder most is whether she is saying "ehm" or "when".
2) dinnear
Ah, frig an dinnéar!/Friggin' dinnéar! I mean, Bernie, ní mé (...) troid leat ach...
subtitle: Forget dinner. I don't want to fight.
Again, it's very important for me if it's "frig an" or "friggin'".
3) dinner_parties
Agus ní (...) dinner parties (...) cuireann ruig ormsa síos na bhar (?).
subtitle: I was banished to the pub whenever you had your dinner parties.
4) drive
(...) your lads just... níl drive ar bith agat.
subtitle: Jason, you lack drive.
5) fuddy-duddy
An bhfuil a fhios agat anseo, a Sheáin, tá lúcháir agam go bhfuil tú ag (tabhairt?) suas na fuddy-duddy suitsan sa deireadh (...).
subtitle: Seán, I'm glad you're giving up those fuddy-duddy suits at last.
I wonder if there's a double plural in "suitsan", i.e. if it's actually "suitsanna". Or could it be some emphatic form like the -sa added to words?
6) quality_time2
Quality time (...)
Quality time my ass!
7) think
(...) think (...) níos luaithe í?
Do you think i should start this earlier?
8) tips_conference
Haigh, bhfuel, 'bhfuil a fhios agat anseo, (...) piocadh suas (...) tips éigin den chonference.
You picked up some tips at the conference.
I know that's a lot, but I would be really grateful if you could help me. It's actually 1), 4) 5), and 7) that I'm most interested in. So if anyone has any hints on those... Please?
1) abhaile
So ehm/when an (....) tusa dul abhaile?
subtitle: When will you be going home?
What I wonder most is whether she is saying "ehm" or "when".
I think she says “ehm” I’m not the best understanding yer one with the red hair.
The answer is “Muise, níl “clue” agam”.2) dinnear
Ah, frig an dinnéar!/Friggin' dinnéar! I mean, Bernie, ní mé (...) troid leat ach...
subtitle: Forget dinner. I don't want to fight.
Again, it's very important for me if it's "frig an" or "friggin'".
Ah, frig an dinnéar! I mean, Bernie, níl mé ag iarraidh a bheith ag troid leat ach..3) dinner_parties
Agus ní (...) dinner parties (...) cuireann ruig ormsa síos na bhar (?).
subtitle: I was banished to the pub whenever you had your dinner parties.
Agus ní (...) dinner parties (...) cuireann ruig ormsa síos na bhar (?).
She is hard to understand.4) drive
(...) your lads just... níl drive ar bith agat.
subtitle: Jason, you lack drive.
Not a hundred precent sure, but fairly sure he says -
Sin é atá mí-cheart leatsa Jason, níl drive ar bith ionat.5) fuddy-duddy
An bhfuil a fhios agat anseo, a Sheáin, tá lúcháir agam go bhfuil tú ag (tabhairt?) suas na fuddy-duddy suitsan sa deireadh (...).
subtitle: Seán, I'm glad you're giving up those fuddy-duddy suits at last.
I wonder if there's a double plural in "suitsan", i.e. if it's actually "suitsanna". Or could it be some emphatic form like the -sa added to words?
I think, but I’m not sure she says - “na suits sin”.6) quality_time2
Quality time (...)
Quality time my ass!
Quality time mo leath-deiridh.7) think
(...) think (...) níos luaithe í?
Do you think i should start this earlier?
Again I’m not sure ---
Is doiche gur cheart dúinn an giota beag sin a chuir isteach níos luaithe. 8) tips_conference
Haigh, bhfuel, 'bhfuil a fhios agat anseo, (...) piocadh suas (...) tips éigin den chonference.
You picked up some tips at the conference.
haigh, an bhfuil fhíos agat seo, ........
I’m not good with the Donegal accent, especially that woman who speaks very fast.
