Dís Flashcards
Seán came home after a days work.
- Tháinig Seán abhaile tar éis lá oibre.
He sat down.
- Shuigh sé síos.
He started reading the newspaper.
- Thosaigh sé ag léamh an nuachtáin.
His wife was angry
- Bhí fearg ar a bhean chéile.
His wife was angry because Seán wasn’t talking to her.
- Bhí fearg ar a bhean chéile mar ní raibh Seán ag caint léi.
The woman wasn’t happy because she spent the day on her own with the baby.
- Ní raibh an bhean sásta mar chaith sí an lá sa bhaile ina haonar leis an leanbh.
Every day she took care of the baby and she cleaned the house.
Gach lá thug sí aire don leanbh agus ghlan sí an teach
she didnt have the company for the day
ní raibh comhluadar aici don lá.
according to the woman there was a survey in the newspaper.
dar leis an mbean bhí suirbhé sa nuachtán.
according to the survey a quarter of married women in ireland were unhappy
dar leis an tsuirbhé bhí ceathrú cuid de mhná pósta na hÉireann míshona míshásta
According to the woman she took part in this survey.
Dar leis an mbean ghlac sí páirt sa suirbhé seo.
Seán was cross because she took part in the survey.
Bhí Seán crosta mar ghlac sí páirt sa suirbhé.
The woman said that she took part in the survey because she had pity for the woman that was doing the survey.
Dúirt an bhean gur ghlac sí páirt sa suirbhé mar bhí trua aici don bhean a bhí ag déanamh an tsuirbhé.
She was married for 2 years, expecting a baby and moving house.
Bhí sí pósta le dhá bhliain, ag súil le leanbh agus ag bogadh tí.
The survey woman offered Seán’s wife a job.
Thairg bean an tsuirbhé post do bhean Sheáin.
Seán’s wife was happy because she wanted to buy a new oven with the money.
Bhí bean Sheáin sásta mar bhí sí ag iarraidh sorn nua a cheannach leis an airgead.
Seán was raging when he heard this news.
Bhí Seán ar buile nuair a chuala sé an nuacht seo.
According to Seán she would be like a tinker going from door to door.
Dar le Seán bheadh sí cosúil le tincéir ag dul ó dhoras go doras.
Seán believed that she took part in the survey because she was unhappy but that was not true.
Chreid Seán gur ghlac sí páirt sa suirbhé mar bhí sí míshona ach ní raibh sé sin fíor.
She took part in the survey because Seán annoyed her that morning or the night before.
Ghlac sí páirt sa suirbhé mar chuir Seán fearg uirthi an mhaidin sin nó an oíche roimh ré.
According to Seán’s wife men did not respect women.
Dar le bhean Sheáin ní raibh meas ag na fir ar na mná.
She mentioned the custom the chinese had long ago-to burn the wife with the man when he died.
Luaigh sí an nós a bhí ag na Sínigh fadó-an bhean chéile a dhó leis an bhear nuair a fuair sé bás.
According to the woman, the chinese were right because there was no need for the woman when the man died.
Dar leis an mbean, bhí an ceart ag na Sínigh mar ní raibh gá don bhean nuair a fuair an fear bás.
At the end of the story the woman started thinking about the survey woman because she didn’t hear anything about her for the job.
Ag deireadh an scéil thosaigh an bhean ag smaoineamh faoi bhean an tsuirbhé mar níor chuala sí aon rud uaithi faoin bpost.
Maybe the survey woman told a lie.
B’fhéidir gur inis bean an tsuirbhé bréag.
Seán’s wife was cross with the survey woman.
Bhí bean Sheáin crosta le bean an tsuirbhé.
