2. Tá mo [madra] _______ ag snámh

Explanation

The correct answer is "mhadra" because it is the correct form of the word "madra" in the genitive case. In Irish, the noun "madra" (meaning "dog") changes form when it is used in certain grammatical contexts, such as after the possessive pronoun "mo" (meaning "my"). In this case, "madra" changes to "mhadra" to indicate ownership or possession. Therefore, the sentence "Tá mo madra ag snámh" translates to "My dog is swimming."

Submit
4. Tá mo [teach] ____dóite

6. Tá do [mac] _________cliste

Explanation

The correct answer is "mhac" because the phrase "Tá do [mac] _________cliste" is in Irish Gaelic, and "mhac" is the correct word to complete the sentence. In Irish, "mac" means "son" and "mhac" is the genitive form of "mac" used after the possessive pronoun "do" meaning "your". Therefore, the complete sentence translates to "Your son is clever."

Submit
7. Sin bhur [cat]___________

Explanation

The given word "Sin bhur" is in Irish language, where "Sin" means "that" and "bhur" means "your". The correct answer "gcat" is the translation of "cat" in Irish language.

Submit
8. An é seo do [peann]

Explanation

The phrase "An é seo do [peann]" is in Irish Gaelic and translates to "Is this your [pen]." The word "pheann" in the answer is the correct translation for "pen" in this context.

Submit
9. Cá bhfuil ár [bus] ___________?

Explanation

The given correct answer "mbus" is the correct form of the possessive pronoun "our" in Irish language. In Irish, when the noun following the possessive pronoun begins with a consonant, the pronoun is lenited (changes to "m" in this case). Therefore, "mbus" is the correct form to complete the sentence "Cá bhfuil ár [bus]?" which translates to "Where is our bus?" in English.

Submit
10. Níl bhur [gairdín] __________ an-mhór.

Explanation

The phrase "Níl bhur [gairdín] __________ an-mhór" suggests that the missing word is a form of the word "gairdín" (garden) that means "your." The answer "ngairdín" is the correct form of "gairdín" in the genitive case, indicating possession. Therefore, the phrase translates to "Your garden is not big."

Submit
11. a pheann = her pen

Explanation

The given statement "a pheann = her pen" is incorrect. In Irish, "a" means "his" or "its" and "pheann" means "pen". Therefore, the correct translation would be "his pen" or "its pen", not "her pen". Hence, the correct answer is false.

Submit
12. Sin a (their) [doras] ____________ briste

Explanation

The correct answer is "ndoras" because it completes the sentence grammatically and makes sense in the context. The phrase "Sin a doras" means "That is their door" and adding "ndoras" after it means "That is their broken door."

Submit
13. Cá bhfuil do [leabhar]

Explanation

The given answer "leabhar" is correct because it is the Irish word for "book". The question is asking for the location of the book, and "leabhar" is the correct word to indicate that the book is with the person being addressed.

Submit
14. Tá bhur [páistí] ____________ tinn.

Explanation

The correct answer is "bpáistí" because the sentence is in Irish and "bpáistí" is the correct form of the word "children" in the genitive case. The genitive case is used after the word "tá" (meaning "is") to indicate possession or affiliation. Therefore, the sentence translates to "Your children are sick."

Submit
15. Tá ár [gruaig] dhonn

Explanation

The given correct answer "ngruaig" is the correct form of the word "gruaig" in the genitive case. In Irish, the genitive case is used to indicate possession or association. In this sentence, "Tá ár [gruaig] dhonn," the genitive form "ngruaig" is used to show that the brown hair belongs to someone or is associated with someone.

Submit

Submit
19. Ní maith liom a bheith i [mo aonar]

Explanation

The correct answer is "m'aonar" because it is the correct way to say "alone" in Irish. The phrase "Ní maith liom a bheith i m'aonar" translates to "I don't like to be alone" in English. The possessive pronoun "m'" is used before the word "aonar" to indicate ownership or possession.

Submit
20. Tá [mo ordóg] __________tinn

Explanation

The correct answer is "m'ordóg". In Irish, the phrase "Tá [mo ordóg] __________tinn" translates to "My finger is _________". The word "m'ordóg" means "my finger" in Irish, so it fits perfectly in the blank space.

Submit
21. Bhí ár [uncail] ________ san ospidéal.

Explanation

The correct answer is "n-uncail" because the word "uncail" is a masculine noun in Irish, and when it is preceded by the possessive pronoun "ár" (our), the initial consonant "u" is lenited (changes to "n") due to the grammatical rule of eclipsis. Therefore, the correct form is "n-uncail" to indicate "our uncle" in the sentence "Bhí ár [uncail] n-uncail san ospidéal."

Submit
