Cúpla Focal
Dia Dhaoibh a chairde
Following holidays and accommodation, inevitably we need to talk about the weather!
An aimsir – the weather
Conas atá an aimsir inniu? What’s the weather like today?
Well, anseo in Willenhall tá sé fliuch báite – soaking wet.
Wet weather is sometimes described as aimsir salach – dirty weather!
Some useful phrases:
Bhí an aimsir go dona – The weather was bad
Bhí an aimsir go maith – The weather is good
ag cur baistí – raining
ag cur sneachta – snowing
ceomhar – foggy
Tá sé fuar inniu – it’s cold today
Bhí sé gaofar inné – it was windy yesterday
Bhí sé grianmhar sa Spáinn – It was sunny in Spain
Níl sé scamallach anois – it’s not cloudy now
stoirmiúil – stormy
te – hot
róthe – too hot
an-te – very hot
geal - bright
Nuair a bhíonn sé grianmhar téim amach ag siúl – When it’s sunny I go out walking
Nuair a bhíonn sé fuar fanaim sa bhaile – When it’s cold I stay at home
Nuair a bhíonn sé ag cur sneachta téim ag sciáil – When it’s snowing I go skiing
