An Scéal - Nathanna Flashcards
It was the 5th of August
An cúigiú lá de Lúnasa a bhí ann
It happened only two years ago but it is so clear in my mind that I swear it happened yesterday
Tharla sé dhá bhliain ó shin ach tá sé chomh soiléar i m’intinn go dtabharfainn an leabhar gur tharla sé inné
I well remember that day
Is maith is cuimhin liom an lá sin
That particular weekend
An deireadh seachtaine áirithe sin
In charge of the house
I bhfeighil an tí
I said goodbye to…
D’fhág mé slán le…
As soon as they were gone
Chomh luath is a bhí siad imithe
Sun bathing
Ag sú ná gréine
Sun tan
Dath gréine
I became bored
D’éirigh mé breán bailithe
I gave an invitation to…
Thug mé cuireadh do…
Luckily enough
Ar amharaí an tsaoil
Nothing
Faic/tada
I decided
Bheartaigh mé
A lot of things
A lán rudaí
Like…
Cosúil le…
Straight home
Díreach abhaile
For the party
I gcomhair na cóisire
It wasn’t long before..
Níorbh fhada go raibh…
Dubh le daoine
Packed with people
We were enjoying the party
Bhíomar ag baint taitnimh as an gcóisir
It didn’t last long
Níor mhair sé ró-fhada
I noticed that…
Thug mé faoi deara go..
People were getting sick
Bhí daoine ag éirí tinn
I got a smell of smoke
Fuair mé boladh deataigh
I nearly fainted
Ba bheag nár thit mé I laige
Everyone hid
Chuaigh gach duine I bhfolach
Complaint
Gearán
Neighbours
Comharsana
Noisy
Glórach
Warning
Rabhadh
They went
D’imigh siad
I didn’t sleep soundly that night
Níor chodail mé go sámh an oíche sin
I got a terrible fright
Baineadh geit uafásachasam
I wasn’t allowed out for a month
Ní raibh céad agam dul amach ar feadh míosa
To tell the truth
Chun an fhírinne a rá
I never did such a thing since that night
Ní dhéanfaidh mé dearmad go deo at an oíche sin
