Doing beginner's Irish at uni, am quite er bad at it and wondered if anyone actually knows it well enough to help me...? Not a hard exercise just translation from English really.. Anyway, anyone able to help?

I did it at school although I've forgotten most of it. Might get back into it when I have some time.

IIRC Morlan is fairly fluent. What is it you need help with?

iamdjdz · 10 Dec 2006 at 23:19

just as i go along, words and things really, umm for example i don't know how to say 'she has a heavy cold' which is asked.

You would say: "A heavy cold is on her/at her" - "Tá slaghdán trom uirthi/aici" (taw slah-dawn trum urr-he/ek-ee)
