It is a wild animal.
Ainmhí fiáin atá i gceist.
He lived in the tropics.
Bhí cónaí air sna trópaicí.
He was famous for his shape and beauty.
Bhí clú agus cáil air de bharr a chrutha agus a áilleachta.
He was strong, full of dignity and full of spirit.
Bhí sé láidir, lán de dhínit agus lán de spiorad.
He was a proud and powerful animal.
Ainmhí bródúil agus cumhachtach ba ea é.
It was in its own natural environment.
Bhí sé ina thimpeallacht nádúrtha féin.
He was free.
Bhí sé saor aige.
People respected him.
Bhí meas ag daoine air.
He was independent.
Bhí sé neamhspleách.
The animal is not happy.
Níl an t-ainmhí sásta.
He has no freedom.
Níl saoirse ar bith aige.
No one will let him out.
Ní ligfidh éinne amach é.
His spirit is broken.
Tá a spiorad briste.
He hates the life he has, it’s not his natural environment.
Is fuath leis an saol atá aige, níl sé ina thimpeallacht nádúrtha.
He is in prison.
Tá sé i ngéibhean.
He is tired, he only opens one eye and all he has to do is look at the lonely tree.
Tá tuirse air, ní osclaíonn sé ach súil amháin agus níl le déanamh aige ach féachaint ar an gcrann aonraic.
There is only one tree in front of him instead of the forest he used to be.
Níl ach crann amháin os a chomhair in áit na foraoise ba dhual dó.
He is weak, lying down, without energy, trapped in the zoo.
Tá sé lag, ina luí, gan fuinneamh, i ngéibheann sa zú.
He remembers his life in the tropics and that makes him sad.
Is cuimhin leis an saol a bhí aige sna teochreasa agus cuireann sé sin brón air.
It is now behind iron bars, without space and as an exhibition.
Tá sé taobh thiar de bharraí iarainn, gan spás agus mar thaispeántas anois.
The animal is proud because it is running around in the forest.
He is strong because he is roaring and the trees are shaking with his shout.
Tá an t-ainmhí bródúil mar tá sé ag rith timpeall san fhoraois. Tá sé láidir mar tá sé ag búireadh agus tá na crainn ag croitheadh lena bhéicíl.
His life has no dignity.
