Gaelic Lessons Back up at Erin's Web Gaelic! -- Webmiss, 20:25:40 01/15/04 Thu (adsl-68-122-3-62.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net/68.122.3.62)
Greetings, and happy new year! At your request Erin's Web has restored the lessons for your learning pleasure! Let me know if anyone has any questions. Thanks for your continuing support! The link to the message board on the lesson pages is incorrect, so until I can get all 128 of them updated, please use the link posted on the homepage (http://www.erinsweb.com/gae_index.html). Also, watch for a "deco-redeco" of our main pages, located at www.erinsweb.com, and then an eventual redesign of the entire Erin's Web network!

Oscar and Oisin -- Caitlin, 19:00:42 01/06/04 Tue (user172.net216.nj.sprint-hsd.net/65.173.80.172)
Quote: "And wht about Oscar,on of Oisin etc?" I take that to mean son of Oisin? If so, I haven't really gone down the line, just up through the parents. What little I did discover was that Oisin and Niamh had three children. One was Oscar, or Osgar. The other two, I am not sure about. The only things I have read was that there was a son named Finn, and a daughter which Oisin named "The Flower." I have only found one account of this. But as i'm sure you know, myths have a tendency to become jumbled and confused, so who really knows? Thanks for the help. I'm sure i'll soon be writing with more names. - Caitlin

How do the Irish pronounce the words for grandmother? Is there a universal word used liked Mamo, or are there many, like in the states? Also, how do you pronounce them phonetically? Thanks bunches!

When translating english into irish, does the word pattern in a sentence stay close to the same? For example, if I were to say "Shut the door.", would the sequence of words be in the same order?

What a wonderful forum! I stumbled across it a couple weeks ago, and I've loved reading everyone else's translations, so I thought I'd ask for a favor of my own. A friend's birthday is coming up, and I wanted to do something with a phrase that's very meaningful for us. Could someone please give me a translation for
"Two lost little souls who found each other."
???? Any help with either a translation, or a point in the right direction on how to find it myself would be greatly appreciated.

I could have wealth beyond my dreams,
But where is the joy in that?
And I could travel the seven seas,
But I would always come back.
Everyone could know my name,
And there would be no peace.
I could have undying love,
And heartaches still increase.
No, if I were wealthy beyond my dreams

It wouldn't buy friendship such as yours --
And there IS joy in that!

My mom and I have always wanted to go to Ireland, so until the day comes, i've been satisfied with looking at little towns that we could visit. The one that has really caught my eye, is Cobh. From the reading that I have done, the 'c' is pronounced like a 'k,' the 'o' is said like 'o,' and depending on whether its broad, or slender, the 'bh' is either pronounced like a 'w' or a 'v.' I haven't been able to find out how to pronounce the complete name. Someone please help! And forgive me if what I have figured is way off, as I really don't know anything about the Irish language. Thanks in advance for the help.
