An Gael agus Ábhar Stairiúil an Chumainn

2009-04-23T12:35:00.005-04:00

Mar eolas daoibh:
For your information:

Beidh grianghraif de shean-leabhair, bhileoga, shleachta as nuachtáin, srl., ó stór an chumainn (Cumann Carad na Gaeilge) i ngach eagrán den iris. Mar sin, fiú mura bhfuil léamh na Gaeilge agat (fós), is féidir go mbeadh suim agat sna grianghraif seo. Beidh Béarla ar roinnt díobh.

There will be photographs of old books, flyers, newspaper clippings, etc., from the society's treasury (The Philo-Celtic Society) in every edition of the magazine. So even if you can't read Irish (yet), you might be interested in these pictures. Some of them will have English in them.

Treoracha do Scríbhneoirí An Gael

2009-04-17T21:51:00.004-04:00

Seo na cuspóirí atá agam mar eagarthóir, agus moltaí d’aon duine ar mhaith leis/léi scríobh dúinn – Séamas Ó Neachtain

Iris atá oiriúnach do gach léitheoir is ea í seo, fiú daoine óga. Mar sin, má bhíonn aon rud gáirsiúil ann, ní mór nach dtuigfeadh páiste é. B’fhearr a leithéid a sheachaint mar bhunphrionsabal.

Iris a bheidh measúil do gach éinne is ea í seo. Mar sin, más ábhar conspóideach atá idir lámha agat, ní mór duit a bheith cothrom agus gan mhaslaí, agus más féidir, an dá thaobh a mhíniú ar shlí nach gcuirfeadh isteach ar éinne. B’fhearr an chonspóid a sheachaint, má chuireann sé isteach ar dhaoine, ach níl aon chosc ar a leithéid, má dhéantar go béasach measúil é. Ní fhoilseofar aon rud díspeagach.

Ní iris acadúil í seo. Tá suim againn in ábhar ar bith, ach is lucht léite ginearálta atá i gceist, agus mar sin, ní mór go bhfuil stíl tarraingteach spraíúil ann.

Ní mór gur fíricí iad na fíricí a luaitear, dar ndóigh. Agus aon rud a mhaítear, ní mór gur mínítear é chun bunús a chur leis (gan a bheith leadránach).

Is leis na húdair féin a gcuid tuairimí, agus ní chuirfidh mé mo ladar isteach orthu sin. B’fhearr liom scéalta ná tuairimí, ámh.

Is fearr a bheith dearfach ná diúltach i gcónaí, más féidir. Scríobh mar a scríobhfá do chara.

An Gael

2009-04-09T11:48:00.007-04:00

The official magazine of the Philo-Celtic Society is on its way back! First new edition is planned to be published at the beginning of the summer.

The new version will be an Irish only quarterly. This breaks with our past of being a bi-lingual publication. But that's where this blog comes in. We will be using it to supplement the magazine, with hints, some translations, and discussion of the magazine's content.

We are still looking for Irish language material. Please spread the word!

Here are guidlines for writers.

The emphasis of this magazine will be on 2 things:
1) The international nature of the Irish language community
2) Friendship among all of us who speak the language

Of course, we will also be promoting the goals of our society.

Tá Físchraoladh Chumann Carad na Gaeilge ar YouTube

2006-12-29T08:58:00.000-05:00

Tá dosaen scannáiníní, gach físchraoladh a rinne mé go fóill, ar fáil ar YouTube anois. Níl aon ghá le bogearra ar leith chun na físchraolta seo a fheiscint níos mó. Beidh siad ar fáil mar fhíschraolta fós, freisin. Agus le cúnamh Dé, beidh níos mó ann sa bhliain úr.

There are a dosen short movies, every vodcast that I've made so far, available on YouTube now. Thre is no need any more for special software to see them. They will still be available as vodcasts, too. And, God willing, there will be more in the new year.

Archiving again

2006-07-27T14:22:00.000-04:00

I have moved #25 through almost now to the archive site, instead of the usual place, so I have room for new ones. These will now take longer to download. If you can't get anything you need for some reason, write to me, and I'll send you the file or another link. Hopefully there will be no problems. The first 24 have been archived there for some time now.

Físchraoladh a hOcht

2006-07-16T10:36:00.000-04:00

I didn't know (and still am not sure) what the word for oar-lock is. I said 'glasa' which is wrong. If it is glas, the plural is glais. So there you have it. Anybody know the right word?

Oops....

2006-05-26T20:52:00.000-04:00

If you already downloaded the first 'episode' from the Long Island Film Festival, please re-download it... I fixed a couple of stupid mistakes.

In the second episode, see if you can find where I should have said 'a bhfuil baint leis an nGaeilge aige.'

Ní bhíonn saoi gan locht...

Archiving

2006-04-28T11:04:00.000-04:00

Because we've run out of space, I have moved almost all of the older podcasts to archive.com. This means they may take a little longer to download, and occasionally, the server may be too busy. I will keep posting new ones on our server, so they should be easy to get. Please, if you are going to listen to them more than once, save them to your computer and then listen to them from there, rather than downloading them over and over again. This will keep them available for everyone.

Bandwidth

2006-03-30T13:29:00.000-05:00

When you want to watch our vodcasts, or listen to our podcasts, it is best if you download them first. That way, if you want to hear them again, you have it on your computer already. We exceeded our bandwidth usage this month, and so the vodcast wasn't available for a few days. I have moved them to another site, which is unfortunately slower, but at least works. As things get older, I will migrate them to this site (archives.org). Not sure if I will put everything there or not.

The Mass in Irish

2006-03-25T22:26:00.000-05:00

Podcasts 26 and 27 are about the Irish language Mass we attended on St. Patrick's Day. Here is the Text of the Mass. You might want to try and follow along. Part 2 (#26) starts with the Creed (an Chré).

The Philo-Celtic Society does not promote any religeon or any political cause. But we do recognize that such things exist, and are making this available to anyone who is interested. Whether you are Catholic or not, we hope you find it interesting.

Podcast 24: Hilary NY

2006-03-16T10:15:00.000-05:00

A conversation with Hilary NY (Hilary Mhic Shuibhne).

Even though we both live in NY, it was plenty difficult for us to get get together, but we finally succeeded! A conversation with Hilary about Daltaí na Gaeilge (weekends they run, her being a teacher for them), Irish language night at the Kerry Association, her 'hedge school,' the St. Patrick's Day parade in NY, her blog, Hilary NY, and a few other things, phew! It's nice to get to know better one of our Irish language bloggers. Hopefully, before long, others will become better known to us!

Our Irish is not perfect all the time, of course. At the end I made a mistake. Oireann a guth agus a pearsantacht don scríobhnoireacht a dhéanann sí. Oh well!

vodcast 4 - transcription

2006-03-15T15:33:00.000-05:00

Iarnród Inse Fada.
Tá an traein ag imeacht.
Traein fhada is ea é [í].
Traein leictreach is ea é [í].
Ceann difriúil an ceann seo.
Ceann Diesel atá ann.
Uaireanta bíonn an Diesel ar chúl na traenach, go háirithe ar na cinn nua dhá urlár.
Go minic, bíonn sé ar dhuine traenacha a mhalartú ag an stáisiún lárnach i Jamaica, Queens.
...
Foirgneamh ard.
An stáisiún traenach i mBrooklyn.
Síos an staighre liom go dtí an traic anois.
Feicfidh mé anois an bhfuil Gaeilge ag aon duine eile ar an traein seo.
...díomá = dissapointment
Ní raibh an uair seo, ach mise amháin (le Gaeilge ar an traen).
B'fhéidir ar an chéad traen eile. Cá bhfios? Feicfimid.
An bhfuil Gaeilge ag aon duine anseo ar chor ar bith?
Gearóid: Dia duit! Cén chaoi a bhfuil tú?
Séamas: Tá mé go han-mhaith.
G: Cá raibh tusa?
S: Ó, bhí mé ar an traen roimhe seo.
G: Ó, agus bhí mé deireannach - gabh mo leithscéal.
S: Ah, agus bhí súil agam bualadh le duine ag a bhfuil Gaeilge ar an dtraein, agus bhí díomá an domhain orm.
G: Rinne mé mo dhícheall...ach bhí mé ag cóipeáil (copying) do mo rang, agus, a bhfuil - tá a fhios agat go bhfuil An Caighdeán as - as cló!
S: Tá.
G: Mar sin bhí orm cóipeanna a dhéanamh de. S: Nach ait an rud sin!
S: Bhuel, pé scéal, is maith an rud duine le Gaeilge a fheiscint ar an dtraein, ar an Iarnró- ar Iarnród Inse Fada, agus fáilte romhat go Babylon!
G: Go raibh maith agat, a Shéamais.

The Long Island Railroad, Bagpipes and Neosels

2006-03-11T16:58:00.000-05:00

Our fourth video cast is about the Long Island Railroad. We watch trains on the platform in Babylon, take the train through the central station (where people change trains) in Jamaica, Queens, and then later take the train home from Brooklyn. I look for Irish speakers on the train. Watch the video to see what happens!

Our 23rd podcast starts with some horrible noises made by people trying out the Galician pipes - people who don't know how to play them. Then I talk with Marty Neosel. He is an American who learned his Irish in America - from his mother. Later, I talk with his Mother, Bridget, who is from Tuam in Gallway, but has been in the US since 1957. They don't get to practice their Irish often, but they do keep it going!

What are you missing?

2006-03-10T16:04:00.000-05:00

If you aren't already able to follow the Irish only podcasts and video casts from The Philo-Celtic Society, maybe we can give you a hand. This site will be to give you some hints, synopsis and vocabulary.

Here's a brief summary of our first 3 video casts (see links).

Video cast 1: A piece of cat sh*t in the garden.
Hey, if we start with that, it can only get better, right?
Since this is short, here is a transcription:
Tá mé ag siúl trasna an chlóis, i dtreo an ghairdín, taobh thiar de mo theachsa,
agus cad tá ann, i lár an ghairdín, ach seanphíosa caca!
Cac cait atá ann. Bhuel, glanfaidh mé suas é seo, agus ardóigh mé é ar an sluasaid bheag seo...muis... agus, uh, bhuel, tagann na cait isteach trí pholl atá faoin gclaí, taobh thiar den chrann sin. Sin é an poll.
Agus, uh, bhuel, tá mé ag siúl trasna an linn snámha (mistake - trasna was the wrong word), agus, uh, thar an linn snámha (fixed!), agus i dreo an bhruscair, agus, uh, tá mé a ardú chlúdach an bhruscair, agus slán leat, a chaic, agus slán libh a chairde!

OK, that one's pretty crappy!

Video cast 2:
This one is about Bocci Bombing.
Transcription:

Liathróidí Bocci.
Tithe aráin sinséir.
Iarsmaí (remains) na dtithe aráin sinséir.

Sea, tharla sé de thimpiste an chéad uair. Bhí cóisir againn - breithlaethanta na bpáistí a bhí ann. Ach roimhe sin, chuireamar tithe aráin sinséir amach do na héin. Agus bhí cluiche Bocci ar siúl ag an gcóisir, agus thit liathróid an teach sin. Sin mar a thosaigh sé!

Ag buamáil na....ó! Sin é! Ú!
Ath-lódáiligí! Is féidir libh iad a ath-thógáil! Ní an damáiste chomh dona sin!

A haon, a dó, a trí...
Rinne sé sin gnó!

Sea, sin an traidisiún atá againn, gach aon bhliain, ag buamáil na dtithe aráin sinséir. Agus is mórán spraoi é!

Videocast 3: Big machines.

Transcription:

Maraon le gach aon bhuachall, is breá liom na crainn tógála, agus meaisíní móra, go háirithe trealamh tógála.

Tá meaisíní móra ar fud na háite i mBrooklyn i Nua-Eabhrac. Ag an gcalafort, tá craenacha móra, a thógann coimeádáin (containers) ó na longa, agus a chuireann iad ar loraithe (trucks).

Úsáidtear iompróir mór chun na coimeádáin a iompair, agus iad a chur ar na leoraithe.

Nuair a dhéantar foirgnimh, is minic go n-úsáitdear túrchraenacha, túrchraenacha a thógálann iad féin (tower cranes that build themselves). Agus seo cúpla dán ar an ábhar sin (and here are a few poems on that subject).

The poems are in An File ar Buile, by Séamas Ó Neachtain. They are in Irish and in English on facing pages. They are also available on
CD.

Seo i mBrooklyn. Tá siad ag tógáil ruda nua. Níl a fhios agam cad é. Tá poll mór ann, agus tá siad á thochailt.

Ag déanamh poill mhóir.

Meaisín mór.

Poll domhain, atá [agus tá] siad á dhéanamh. (OK, I did this in one take!) Is breá liom na meaisíní seo. Nach iontach iad!

Sea, nach suimiúil iad, na meaisíní tógála móra!

How did you do?
