Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hi All,

    I'm doing a beginners course in Irish and doing some revision for my upcoming exam. Right now I'm on 'Travel and Transport' and I was wondering if, when asking what time a train will depart at, are "C'en t-am" and "Cad é an t'am" interrchangeable? The book says Cad e an t-am a n-imionn an traein?

    Also, when asking "Is it possible to...?", are "An féidir liom" and "Is féidir liom" interrchangeable?

    Thank you!

    Cén t-am? and Cad é an t-am? would be different dialect forms. Cad é an t-am being Munster and Cén t-am being Connacht.

    An féidir liom is the question form and Is féidir liom is the statement form:
    An féidir leat canadh? = Can you sing?
    Is féidir leat canadh. = You can sing.
