Cluastuiscint

Haven't a Clue

Well, what'd ye all think?

I thought it was unbelievably easy. There was a hell of a lot of Donegal Irish which, needless to say, suited me down to the ground. The third comhrá in cuid B was a tad tricky, but the rest was really really easy.

cson

Yeah predictably easy. Can't imagine anyone talking as deliberately or slowly in real life though. Cuid B is hilarious. Found bits of Cuid C tricky, like the question on that Padraig O Connaire lad in the middle.

Trying to figure out the Irish for hooker for the boat in the last cuid. Had "hooker" down and realised that was english, almost changed it to striapach.....but eventually settled on 'hucair'

Dont know which level your doing, but I found it all quite easy. Which sections were the donegal irish on? I have an answer for everything, know two of them are wrong, but am quite confidant about the rest, which makes about 112 marks.

mathew

Loved it.. Doin HL
Was all pretty nice. Didnt notice too much Donegal irish, i can never understand it. They spoke nice and slow which helped. I got everything in the last section, which I always do terrible in. So I was delighted with that. No doubt I'll lose a few marks on spelling tho.

Found it hard to keep a straight face during this exam tbh. It was ridiculously easy (like last year) and the accents were hilarious. I'm confident I got 90/100 at the very least.It would have been nice to hear what some actual spoken Irish sounds like though. In contrast to a bunch of vocally trained actors shouting at each other...

I mean, how easy can you make it. And in an old mans voice!

EDIT: Yeah, wasnt that lad the skipper(not that I put it down, due to doing OL)

sdanseo

Bit trickier tha past years but still very managable (OL) - our CD kept clicking, but we all agreed to continue playing and we got a couple of fógraí an extra time...maybe it'l get marked easier :P

opinionated

It was real easy but the leamhthuiscint was hard...

There was a few Gweedore accents in there. Not quite sure where, though the second bloke in Cuid A definitely was Gweedore.

And about the WWW...PUNC...RANGANNA...PUNC...COM bit, how many of ye wrote down the number with it?

lol - i like!!

cocoa

rofl, the site actually exists, the question is, how much did they have to pay to get that kind of advertising....

I found it really easy, everyone was sitting idle for the third listenings in cuid B. Funniest thing "What are men always thinking about?" hmm.... only in the leaving cert...

ashyle

I thought it was easy enough. Loved the comhra on the cinema thought that was soo easy
But I do honours and I was soo pissed to find out ord. get like a 30 min break while hons. get like 10 mins. it was actually 5 mins for me as the superviser insisted we be in our seats by 25 past 4. Priiiick.


Ugh...

hah me too..didn't have time to write down fiddly numbers.

Mushy

I didnt write down the numbers with that website. Sure it only required one thing IIRC. Also, what was with Croke Park being an answer for two things within about 3 mins. of each other? That is, of course, if Croke Park was the answer for the two:D

Different context though. It wasn't as though they asked "where's bertie opening such and a such" followed by "Where's do the chicks with sticks (camogie, for those who didn't hear this oh so hilarious slogan they use) play their All-Ireland Final".

why will it be an historic event?
well, because soccer will be played in croke park, but, more importantly, because pádraig will be there.

Nearly started laughing when your man was all 'A woman taoiseach? You must be dreaming! That's what comes from reading all these novels of yours!', and the next one, the girl moaningggg about the cinema, except she was annoying too..

Couldn't get what she was going on about for Titanic/Troy..a few disjointed words there..and for the opening of a museum, something about the local TD, couldn't figure out what he was doing with the money?

Donegal Irish was a bit annoying, but not incomprehensible...weird they say 'ba moooo' instead of mó and eh, mrá..weird. Apart from that, it was fine.
