As an example, this week's contained the line "níl aon chosúlacht ar an scéal go mbeidh deireadh leis an chogadh gan mhoill". I would translate that as "It doesn't appear likely that the war will end soon" and I couldn't even begin to come up with a "literal" translation that would be terribly helpful. Even "without delay" is a bit misleading for "gan mhoill".

“Ní saoirse go sciatháin”

Tá an abairt sin sa Nuacht Mhall an tseachtain seo. Tuigim cad is brí leis, ach nílim in ann é a mhíniú. Ceapaim gur chuala mé an struchtúr céanna i seanfhocal eigin b'fhéidir, ach ní cuimhin liom. Tháinig mé ar "ní radharc go hathradharc" (hindsight is twenty/twenty) ar focloir.ie, ach an bhfuil sampla eile ar "Ní <ainmfhocal> go <ainmfhocal>" ag éinne?

There's a lovely line in this week's - "Tá Pelé tar éis bás a fháil" - "Pelé's after dying".

I can only imagine how people who aren't familiar with Hiberno-English cope with that.

Éist le . Gnáthscéalta, léite go mall agus an téacs chun dul leo os do chomhair. Molaim go hard é d'fhoghlaimeoirí nuair atá roinnt Gaeilge acu, ach ag iarraidh feabhas a chur uirthi.
