• Quelque chose que je voulais mettre depuis très longtemps, quelques mots en gaélique irlandais. Même si l'anglais est plus que suffisant à savoir en Irlande, ne serait-ce qu'un petit mot par-ci, par-là en gaélique et vous ferez apparaître quelques rayons de soleil dans le cœur des irlandais (preuve que vous voulez vraiment vous intéressez à leur culture) et il sauront vous répondre à cette intention et vous le rendront au centuple!

    Vocabulaire: Gaëlique irlandais

    15. More Prepositional Pronouns
    I like... Is maith liom... iss mah lyum..
    I don't like... Ní maith liom... nee mah lyum..
    Would you like tea? Ar mhaith leat tae? air why lyat tay?

    The preposition "ag" (at) will combine with "mé" (I or me) to form "agam" (at me). The preposition is combined with the pronouns "mé, tú, sé,sí, etc." into one word. This feature with "agam", "agat","againn", etc. also form an idiom that means "having". "Tá cóta agat" literally means: "The coat is at you", but really means "You have the coat". This mixing of prepositions with the pronouns also works with the preposition "le" (with). For example:
    with le leh
    with me liom lyum
    with us linn lyinn
    with you leat lyat
    with you (plural) libh liv
    with him/on it leis lesh
    with them leo loe
    with her léi lay-hee

    "Le" means "with", but it can also be used as a idiom which means to own.
    Here are some different ways that "le" is used:
    I'm here with Martin. Tá mé anseo le Máirtín. tah may unshaw leh mar-tcheen
    I agree with Martin (I am with Martin) Tá mé le Máirtín. tah may leh mar-tcheen
    I own that new car. (car is with me) Tá carr nua seo liom. tah carr nooah shaw lyum
    Health with you! Slán leat! shlahn lyaht
    Move thyself! Bog leat! bug lyaht
    It's good with me (I like .....) Is maith liom... iss mah lyum
    You don't like... Ni maith leat... nee mah lyum
    I don't care. Is cuma liom. iss cumma lyum
    I prefer....... Is fear liom. iss far lyum
    If you can. Más féidir liom. mahs faydjer lyum
    You can't. Ní féidir leat. nee faydjer lyat
    Cheers! Sláinte! shlahntcheh
