Tús na hAbairte: A Flashcards
A big gap needs to be filled by
Tá bearna mór le líonadh ag
All we have to do now is
Níl le déanamh againn anois ach
apparently
de réir dealraimh
As a final word I would like
Mar fhocal scoir ba mhaith liom
As everyone knows
Faoi mar is eol do chách
As I mentioned before
Mar a luaigh mé cheana
Aswell as that
Chomh maith leis sin
Because of that
Mar gheall ar sin
But I regret to say
Ach is oth liom a rá
But I’m sure that
Ach tá mé cinnte go/nach bhfuil
But what about
Ach cad mar gheall ar
By coincidence
Trí chomhtharlú
Even though the situation was bad last year
Cé go raibh an scéal olc anuraidh
First of all I would like to
Ar an gcéad dul síos ba mhaith liom
For a while now
Le tamall anuas
for the past few months
le dornán míonna anuas
From what has been said by
Ón méid atá ráite ag
Having said that
É sin ráite
I agree with everything/everyone
Aontaím le gach rud/duine
I can say that we are
Tig liom a rá go bhfuilimid
I congratulate the government for the work
Tréaslaím an Rialtas as an obair
I don’t feel
ní mhothaím
I don’t know what the solution to this will be
Níl a fhios agam cén réiteach a bheidh air seo
I don’t understand the theory
Ní thuigim an teoiric atá
I have little information/knowledge regarding
Tá beagán eolais agam mar gheall ar
I have no doubt that
Níl aon amhras ormsa go/nach bhfuil
I hope that I’m not right, but
Tá súil agam nach bhfuil an ceart agam, ach
I know that you’ll agree with me
Tá a fhios agam go n-aontóidh tú liom
I think that great praise has been earned by
Sílim go bhfuil moladh mór tuillte ag
I think that it is really important that
Sílim go bhfuil sé fíorthábhachtach go
I used to say
Deirinn
I would also like
Ba mhaith liom freisin
I would like to make reference to
Ba mhaith liom tagairt a dhéanamh do
I would like to refer to
Ba mhaith liom tagairt do
I would prefer that
B’fhearr liom go/nach
I would say that there is far more/less
Déarfainn go bhfuil i bhfad níos mó/lú
If anything can be done to
Más féidir aon rud a dhéanamh chun
If it is true
Má tá sé fíor
If memory serves me right
Más buan mo chuimhne
If that fails, there will be
Má theipeann ar sin, beidh
If that’s how it is
Más mar sin atá
If that’s their aim
Más í sin an aidhm atá acu
If they were implemented
Dá gcuirfí i bhfeidhm iad
I’m not against such a thing
Níl mise ag cur in éadan a leithéide
I’m not blaming
Nílim ag cur lochta ar
I’m not saying that
Níl mé á rá go
I’m primarily talking about
Tá mé ag caint go príomha faoi
I’m totally serious about
Táim lán dáiríre i dtaobh
I’m very doubtful about
Tá amhras mór ormsa faoi
In that way
Sa tslí sin
in the first instance
Ar an gcéad ásc
In the same period
Sa tréimhse chéanna
In the years that have passed since
Leis na blianta atá imithe thart ó
Isn’t it a pity that we cannot
Nach é an trua é nach bhfuilimid in ann
It disappoints me when I see
Cuireann sé díomá orm nuair a fheicim
It is a matter of encouragement and hope that
Is ábhar misnigh agus tuar dóchais go/nach bhfuil
It is not only that
Ní hé amháin go bhfuil
It is reported
Tuairiscítear
It is said that if we succeed
Deirtear má éiríonn linn
It is the only place at present
Is í an t-aon áit amhain faoi láthair
