17
Q

The poet uses images from nature to mock her love’s appearance and traits

A

Úsáideann an file íomhánna ón nádúr chun cuma agus tréithe a grá a mhagadh

18
Q

She recognizes that her man isn’t handsome

A

aithníonn sí nach bhfuil a fear dathúil

19
Q

He isn’t as beautiful as the dragon flower or any other tree flower

A

níl sé chomh hálainn le bláth an draighin ná le bláth chrann ar bith eile

20
Q

The daisy is not a beautiful flower but yet she says that her love isn’t as beautiful as the daisy

A

ní bláth álainn é an nóinín ach oiread ach fós deir sí nach bhfuil a grá chomh hálainn leis an nóinín

21
Q

Maybe they will grow from his ears while he is buried in the grave

A

b’fhéidir go bhfásfaidh siad as a chluasa agus é curtha san uaigh

22
Q

I think that this use of images from nature is unexpected

A

ceapaim go bhfuil an úsáid seo as íomhánna ón dúlra gan choinne

23
Q

And that makes the poem more interesting

A

agus go ndéanann sé an dán níos siumiúla

24
Q

This image is funny and I understand that her lover isn’t handsome

A

tá an íomha seo grennmhar agus tuigimid nach bhfuil a leannán dathúil

25
Q

But then we come to the most important verse

A

ach ansin tagaimid go dtí an véarsa is tábhachtaí

26
Q

The poet doesn’t care that her love isn’t truly perfect

A

Is cuma leis an bhfile nach bhfuil a grá geal foirfe

27
Q

She doesn’t care that her love isn’t good-looking

A

is cuma léi nach bhfuil a grá dathúil

28
Q

He gives her apples and grapes

A

tugann sé úlla agus caora finiúna di

29
Q

These images are metaphors

A

is meafair iad na híomhánna seo

30
Q

The apples stand for the basic things in life

A

seasann na húlla do na rudaí bunúsacha sa saol

31
Q

For the delicacies

A

do shólaistí

32
Q

For the happiness of life

A

do shonna an beatha

33
Q

He makes her happy

A

cuireann sé áthas uirthi

34
Q

She is in love with him

A

tá sí i ngrá leis

35
Q

He is noble generous and takes good care of her

A

tá sé fial flaithiúil agus tugann sé aire mhaith di

36
Q

The images of nature show

A

léiríonn íomhánna an dúlra

37
Q

We understand that the person’s personality is more important than the physical appearance

A

tuigimid go bhfuil pearsantacht an duine níos tábhachtaí ná an cuma fhisciúil

38
Q

I strongly agree with this opinion

A

Aontaím go mór leis an tuairim seo

39
Q

Even though she knows her love isn’t handsome

A

cé go bhfuil a fhios aici nach bhfuil a grá dathúil

40
Q

The poet doesn’t care about that

A

is cuma leis an bhfile faoi sin

41
Q

Love is blind. But.

A

Tá an grá dall. Ach.
