Nathanna don Aiste Flashcards
Especially
Go háirithe
Therefore
Toisc
It seems to me…
Samhlaítear domsa
Feictear domsa
You must
Ní mór duit…
It seems/ It’s a thing
Is amhlaigh…
At the present time…
Faoi látháir
Presently
Faoi láthair na huaire
In the future…
Sa todhchaí
From here on out…
Amach an seo
If not done correctly…
Mura ndéantar é i gceart…
The experts say…
Deir na saineolaíaithe
Some people say
Deir daoine áirithe
The gathering
An tóstas
It’s true to say
Is fíor a rá
Take for example
Cur i gcas
All the same
Mar sin féin
That’s the same as saying..
Is ionann sin is a rá
What I prefer is…
Is é an rud is fearr liom ná…
What I hate is…
Is é an rud is measa liom ná
It’s hard to say
Is deacair a rá
Despite that
In aineoin sin
I will put the reasons before you now
Cuirfidh mé na cúiseanna os bhur gcomhair anois
The question must be solved
Caithfear an ceist a réiteah
There is too big an emphasis on..
Tá béim ró-mhór ar..
As a parting word
Mar fhocal scoir
There are two sides to every story
Bíonn dhá insint ar gach scéal
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion
Ní lia duine na tuirim
The headlines
Na ceannlínte
Tabloid newspapers
Nuachtán tablóideach
They have a big influence on young and old people
Tá tionchar an-mhór acu ar dhaoine óga agus aosta
People think they should
Ceapann daoine gur chóir dóibh
Tormented studying for the exams
Cráite ag ullmhú le haghaidh na scrúdaithe
I haven’t a care in the world
Níl cíos, cás ná cathú orm
Mocking/slagging
Ag magadh faoi
Working together
Ag comhoibhriú lena chéile
To relax
Chun mo scíth a ligean
Escaping into another world
Ag éalú isteach i ndomhan eile
Too competitive
Ró-iomaíocht
I have no respect for those people
Níl meas madra agam ar na daoine seo
It’s not fair
Níl sé féaráilte
I feel
Braithim
Mothaím
I hope that you will agree with me
Tá súil agam go n-aontaíonn sibh go léir liomsa
As a result of
Dá bhrí sin
Mar gheall ar
De thoradh ar
De dheasca ar
I believe
Sílim
Creidim
Measaim
It is my opinion
Is é mo thuairim
Is é mo bharúil
Is é mo mheas
Believe it or not
Creid é no ná creid
I think
Smaoiním
Ceapaim
According to me
Dar liom
At least
Ar a laghad
On one side
Ar thaobh amháin
On the other side
Ar thaobh eile
It’s time for us..
Is mithid dúinn
I don’t care
Is cuma liom
I suppose that it is..
Is dócha go bhfuil sé..
Without a doubt
Níl aon amhras
Gan amhras
Gan dabht
It depends
Braitheann sé
At the first outset
Ar an gcéad dul síos
In the first instance
I dtús báire
I understand that..
Tuigim go..
Anyhow
Ar aon nós
Still
Fós
Annoying me
Ag cur as dom
It’s worth attempting
Is fiú iarracht a dhéanamh
There are advantages and disadvantages associating with it
Tá buntaistí agus mí-bhuntáistí ag baint leis
Its a peculiar thing.
Is aisteach an rud
It wouldn’t be believed
Ní fhéadfaí é sin a chreidiúint
As I said before
Mar a dúirt me cheana
I must..
Ní foláir dom
I must admit
Ní foláir dom a adhmháil
Besides that
Thairis sin
A while ago
Tamall ó shin
These days
Sa la atá inniú ann
Making progress
Ag dul chun cinn
The truth is bitter
Bíonn an fhírinne searbh
We have no alternative
Níl aon dul as againn
Excellent
Thar barr
Ar fheabhas
But the worst thing is
Ach an rud is measa ná
It’s clear that
Is léir go..
To tell the truth
Chun an fhírinne a rá
It makes me angry
Cuireann sé fearg orm
That’s another story
Sin scéal eile
Urgent
Práinneach
There is too much pressure on..
Tá an iomarca brú ar..
Lack of facilities
Easpa áiseanna
What can we do?
Cad is féidir linn a dhéanamh
Wasting time
Ag meilt ama
It happens often
Tarlaíonn se go minic
Usually
De gnáth
Sometimes
Uaireanta
As soon as
Ní tuisce
Now and again
Anois is arís
I suppose
Is dóigh liom
Really?
I ndáiríre
Anyway
Pé scéal é
Unbelievable
Dochreidte
It cannot be denied
Ní féidir a sheanadh
I would say..
Déarfainn
The past few years
Le blianta beaga anuas
Without further delay
Gan a thuilleadh moille
I learned a valuable lesson
D’fhoghlaim ceacht luachmhar
Exactly
go díreach
Depending on
Ag brath ar
In the meantime
Idir an dá linn
From beginning to end
O thuas go deireadh
It’s a great pity
Is mór an trua é
It’s a great shame
Is mór an náire é
There is no need for
Níl aon gá
Recently
Le déanaí
It disgusts me
Cuireann sé déistin orm
I remember it well
Is cuimhin liom go maith
As far as I know
Chomh fada le m’eolas
Sooner or later
Luath nó mall
i have to
Tá orm
It is often that
Is minic a bhíonn
On the other hand
Ar an lámh eile
We must admit that this story
Caithfear a admháil gur scéal/ceist… é/í
According to reports
De réir tuairisce
The story is getting worse
Is in olcas atá an scéal ag dul
It think it’s a great thing
Ceapaim gur rud iontach é
I hope i will give you something to reflect on
Tá súil agam go dtabharfaidh mé ábhar machnaimh daoibh
I’m afraid to say/ I regret to say
Is oth liom a rá
Everyone is looking for equality
Bíonn gach duine ag súil le Cothrom na Féinne a fháil
The problem is getting worse every day
Tá an fhadhb ag dul in olcas in aghaidh an lae
We can’t sit back now
Ní féidir linn suí siar anois
You would say that you would be doubtful
Déarfá go mbeifeá go mór in amhras faoi
He/she doesn’t have a second choice
Níl an dara rogha ag…
The government should put new laws in place to control
Ba chóir don rialtas dlíthe nua a chur ibhfeidhm chun smacht a chur ar…
It’s just as well
Is mór an gar
