Nathanna Cainte Flashcards
(32 cards)
That was coming to him
- Bhí sin ag teacht chuige
- Bhí sin ag dul dó go dóite
In a sticky situation
In abar (boggy ground)
I have little to show for my efforts
Níl morán abhrais déanta agam (benefits)
In the winter of old age
In achrann na mblianta
A bit of luck
Sciorta den ádh
I was doing him a good turn
Bhí mise ag déanamh acra dó
A natural death
Bás le haidhart (pillow)
At odds with eachother/conflicting
In adharca a chéile (horns)
I can’t make sense of it
Ní féidir liom adhmad a bhaint as
To take me by surprise
Teacht aniar aduaidh orm
(Lit. To come from the west and the north to me)
She simply lived for music
Bhí dúil na n-ae aici sa cheol (liver)
I think highly of her
Is mór agam í
She was short with me
Bhí sí aicearrach liom
Pretending to work
In ainm is bheith ag obair
Misery-guts
Mac na hainnise
I did an all-nighter before the exam
Rinne mé airneán fada roimh an scrúdú
As luck would have it
Ar ámharaí an tsaoil
Love at first sight
Grá ar an gcéad amharc
You had that coming
Bhí sin amuigh agat
She passed away
D’fhág an anáil í
He’s a bit of a trickster
Tá iarracht den anstrólaí ann
He’s always on my case
Bíonn sé i gcónaí anuas orm
They are in it together (two people)
Tá siad a haon is a haon
She went ballistic
Bhí sí imithe chun aonachais
