Tréithe Oisín: uaigneach, brónach, gruama Flashcards
sadness and loneliness came to Oisín. He wanted to see Finn and the Fianna again.
tháinig brón agus uaigneas ar Oisín. Theastaigh uaidh Fionn agus na Fianna a fheiceáil arís.
He thought about the life he was leaving behind – and the days he spent hunting, playing chess, listening to music, fighting and drinking with the Deer.
Smaoinigh sé ar an saol a bhí á fhágáil ina dhiaidh aige – agus ar na laethanta a chaith sé ag seilg, ag imirt fichille, ag éisteacht le ceol, ag troid agus ag ól leis na Fianna.
Fionn and the Fianna let out three longing/sorrowful cries in their wake.
lig Fionn agus na Fianna trí gháir cumha/bróin ina ndiaidh.
Oisín cried and he kissed his father
Chaoin Oisín agus phóg sé a athair.
They had two sons - Fionn and Oscar - and they had one daughter named Plúr na mBan.
Bhí beirt mhac – Fionn agus Oscar – acu agus bhí iníon amháin acu darbh ainm Plúr na mBan.
he named his sons after his father, Fionn and his dead brother Oscar
d’ainmnigh sé a mhac i ndiaidh a athar, Fionn agus a dheartháir Oscar marbh
When Oisín went back to Ireland, there was no sign or report of Fionn and the Deer. They were all dead.
Nuair a chuaigh Oisín ar ais go hÉirinn, ní raibh tásc ná tuairisc ar Fhionn agus na Fianna. Bhí siad go léir marbh.

Oisín went to Almhain Leinster but he did not see Finn’s house there. It was just weeds and nettles.
Chuaigh Oisín go hAlmhain Laighean ach ní fhaca sé teach Fhinn ann. Ní raibh ann ach fiailí agus neantóga.

Oisín sadly said goodbye to her
D’fhág Oisín slán go brónach léi
Pádraig and Oisín went on a trip around Ireland because Oisín wanted to visit the towns where the Fianna used to live
Chuaigh Pádraig agus Oisín ar thuras timpeall na hÉireann mar theastaigh ó Oisín cuairt a thabhairt ar na bailte ina mbíodh na Fianna
Pádraig wanted to share God’s gospel with Oisín and hear Oisín’s stories.
theastaigh ó Phádraig soiscéal Dé a roinnt le hOisín agus scéalta Oisín a chloisint.
Oisín was weak, old, blind and friendless.
Bhí Oisín lag, sean, dall agus gan chairde.
He wants to be alone at the end of the story because he doesn’t feel that the other people around him in Ireland are ‘contemporaries’ (new ere to him) at the end of the story
Theastaigh uaidh a bheith ina aonar ag deireadh an scéil mar ní bhraitheann sé gur ‘lucht comhaimsire’ iad na daoine eile timpeall air in Éirinn ag deireadh an scéil
