Questions which begin with expressions such as Cad/Céard? (What?), Cé? (Who?), Cén t-am? (What time?) require the verb to be preceded by a, which causes lenition.

Tosaíonn tú... You begin...
Cén t-am a thosaíonn tú? What time (which) you begin?
Críochnaíonn tú... You finish...
Cén t-am a chríochnaíonn tú? What time (which) you finish?
Déanann tú... You do...
Cad a dhéanann tú? What (is it which) you do?
Cé a bhí leat? Who was with you?

Tá is not lenited, a + tá are written atá:
Tá post agat, an bhfuil? You have a job, don't you?
Cén post atá agat? What job (is it which) you have?

Go leor:
This gives the English word galore. It is used in two ways in Irish: Before a noun (in the genitive case) to mean enough, sufficient
e.g. bla, go leor bla, enough food
airgead, go leor airgid, enough money

After an adjective to mean fairly:
Éirím luath go leor. I get up fairly early.
Téim a chodladh déanach go leor. I go to sleep fairly late.
Tá mé tuirseach go leor. I am fairly tired.


Tired still. Really tired and I wonder if I did something to my shoulder, exercising today. Something small, though. I would really love to reach a point where I'm not spending my entire weekend recovering from the week, hiding and playing online clicky games and avoiding the hell out of everyone so I can sleep and read books and recover. I dislike being that exhausted.

Okay, randomly, the guy who plays the Hound has a slightly more tenor, much more Scottish voice when he's not being the Hound. It amuses me. Still huge, though. And why did they make the Hound talk in RP anyway? Or closeish to it.

Monday Monday Monday. Not much I need to do today, housewise, apparently. Which, if this is indicative of the future, might mean I get out of this with my sanity intact. I do need to plan moving logistics somehow, with the assumption that we actually do close as scheduled this time. Goddess willing. Having a bunch of boxes we can just take over there as soon as we close and get the keys and then change the locks should help. We can move over a bunch of boxes, stick them in the garage and call it good. Hopefully. Maybe put them on a pallet just in case, and cover them with plastic sheeting, but still. We'll figure something out. This is going to be a hellish month, though. I'm already exhausted just thinking about it.
