Focal an Lae inniu: crap = pull in / fold sail / shrink

I have heard, 'Crap suas do mhuinchillí.' for 'Pull up your sleeves.'

I can just see Google Translate leaving "crap" untranslated and putting the rest in English. :LOL:

You're right Breandán it does - "Crap up your sleeves" :rofl:

In parts of Corca Dhuibhne people actually just say leán for island.

Just noticed that Bríd made a new addition to the Focal an Lae thread. :good:

I can't make out the last word on the recording though: "Bhain mé snap as mo ___"

I think it's ...as mo dhroim. As in, "I did my back in".

Slán,

That's right. :D

Notice how a word may be spelled just like the English word and has more or less the same meaning. But the pronunciation is different. And that is not Béarlachas, it's in the dictionary.

Sorry I've been letting you down on Word of the Day, it's more like Word of the Month now. I'll try to do it more often.

It's very kind of you to be doing it regardless Bríd. :) I really enjoy the mix of words you have.

Bríd, just an FYI that the link for cliamhain seems to be bad.

viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1095&p=10092&hilit=cliamhain#p10092

It looks like the file name has a misspelling:
http://irishlearner.awyr.com/membrfaylz ... amhain.mp3
