  • Lesson 5 Dinner or lunch?

    Dia dhaoibh,  This week we are going to try a little conversation in class.

    Some of our children are asking for lunch or dinner in Irish.

    We could start with;

    Dinner or Lunch                  Lón        Dinnéar

    The next step would be to add please ( le do thoil)

    • Dinner or lunch please

      Lón le do thoil  (Loan le do hull)

       Dinnéar le do thoil  (Jin-yer le do hull)

    To take it even further;

    What would you like today?

    Cad é ba mhaith leat inniu?    (Ca jay ba why lat in-you)

    • I would like dinner or lunch please.

            Ba mhaith liom.…..le do thoil  (Ba why liom……le do hull)

    Fruit 

    Some children are also asking for their fruit in Irish.

    Oráiste - Orange

    Banana- Banana

    Úll - Apple

    tósta- Toast

    Again, we can say just the noun or make it into a sentence.

    Attached is the Irish translation and I have saved all in Staff Folder.  Staff-Irish- phrases.
