14 May 06 - 05:44 AM (#1740397) Subject: BS: Gaelic to English translation From: Doug Chadwick On my way back from this year's Mudcat Eurogathering in Cork, I bought a T-shirt in a souvenir shop which has a number of sheep on it playing various folk instruments :- banjo, accordion, whistle, fiddle and bhodran. There is also the phrase, in Gaelic: sin scéal eile Being on the east side of Ireland at the time, the woman in the shop was less than certain as to the English translation. I tried using an on-line Irish-English dictionary but came up with lots of permutations, none of which made any sense. Can any Gaelic speakers help me out with a translation ? DC |

14 May 06 - 06:42 AM (#1740412) Subject: RE: BS: Gaelic to English translation From: Doug Chadwick Thanks. When I realised that I had left the "c" out of scéal, I had another go at the dictionary and came up with much the same conclusion. Can anyone give a guide to the correct pronunciation ? DC |

Regards p.s. And before my fellow pedants come galloping in - yes, it does vary regionally! Not much, though. |

14 May 06 - 08:21 AM (#1740443) Subject: RE: BS: Gaelic to English translation From: Big Mick As an aside, I know the musicians on the album and have performed on the same stage with this band. The CD is a whale of a lot of fun, well put together with eclectic styles in the performance. AND Kitty Donohoe, had I found her at an earlier time in my life, I would have pursued her with reckless abandon. She is beautiful, a great musician, a great performer, with a voice to drive off all that is evil. Tamineh Gueramy's voice is unique and stunning, and she does several songs that you can't stop listening to. A very enjoyable CD. Website here |

05 Mar 15 - 06:40 PM (#3691782) Subject: RE: BS: Gaelic to English translation From: Thompson This official Irish-English-Irish dictionary is useful for words and phrases and can be used for audio, though it doesn't have audio for that specific phrase - you'd have to get separate audio for the three words: sin (pron shin) = that scéal (pron shkale/shkayul) = story eile (pron elleh) = other |
