Does Forvo allow you to record entire sentences?

Forvo is not intended for sentences, but in certain cases they are allowed. For example, short idioms or known titles, such as "The Lord of the Rings" is allowed but "I have two rings" is not.

Yes sentences are against the rules. Exceptions are made for idioms, proverbs, song titles, and the like. Random phrases are not allowed either. Strictly speaking conjugating verbs, lenited and eclipsed words are not permitted either but the Irish editors make exceptions for those in some cases.

Talking of sentences and forvo... have you guys ever looked at http://www.tatoeba.org? Multilingual translation by sentence. Quite cool, but limited at present.

I've never heard of that site. I'll have to check it out.

You can add sentences to RHINOSPIKE,

Barra79,
we can't put our email addresses up here so PMing or posting a link to a permanent host are the only real options

What I meant was that if you have ten posts recorded you can then send and receive private posts

I see Irish is up with the big boys now in Forvo.
Over 10,000 entries. Pretty good for a minority language.

My sources tell me she could be on this very forum. She could be using literally any username, Dáithí, JayBee, Breandán, Braoin, Bríd, Weefalorieman,...

..even you Saoirse, or should I say Bríd!!

Yup – she is, by far, the most enigmatic person around here!
