so it's time to give up using the translator. If you have been learning a bit of Irish, you would probably get further using online Irish language dictionaries and asking for help with particularly problematic sentences or phrases on one of the Irish language learners' fora. Though I may miss your amusing mistranslations. Not much of an excuse for machine translator giving corn (English) as the meaning of "corn" Irish. http://www.teanglann.ie/ga/fgb/corn

In this instance "Corn" is a prize cup; as you are interested in seán nós singing,you have probably come across the Corn uí Riada.
By the way, have you come across singer Sorcha Ní Ghuairim yet?
