An Chomharsa — The Neighbour

Nóra misses nothing. Nóra was, of course, only reading.

1. Cé a bhí ag an doras agat aréir? (Who was at your door last night?)

2. Mo dheartháir. (My brother.)

3. Ag a haon déag a chlog? (At eleven o'clock?)

4. Tá tú i do shuí déanach, a Nóra. (You're up late, Nóra.)
…Bhí mé ag léamh. (…I was reading.)

Phrases worth stealing

  • Cé a bhí ag an doras agat aréir? — Who was at your door last night?
  • Mo dheartháir. — My brother. “Mo” lenites: deartháir becomes dheartháir.
  • Ag a haon déag a chlog? — At eleven o'clock?
  • Tá tú i do shuí déanach. — You're up late. Literally “you are in your sitting” — the same pattern as i mo shuí.
