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.

... Have you seen the map of the UK (and parts of Europe) according to Americans around tumblr? Or, well, they don't SAY it's according to Americans but that's totally what I thought of. Um. Where'd it go... here!

Possibly true. I never thought there'd be a villain who wouldn't get woobified, but he's pretty horrifying. The actor sounds adorable, from what I've seen in interviews. Personally I wouldn't mind saving him with a crossbow bolt through his face and running off with all of his henchmen. Except Balish. He can get a crossbow bolt through the face too.

I had not! Ha! Ireland has kilts?

The actor is adorable. And hardly ever has anyone's tongue cut out.

Aww, Baelish. See he can be woobified. Even though he has sort of lost the moral high ground through... well... giving away the moral high ground in every which way he possibly could.

Apparently! At least according to that map. I was all "where are the football hooligans?" and "But the BEATLES. They're up THERE" and "STONEHENGE, PEOPLE" and other things that even Americans should know what they are. Well, the second and third one of those anyway.

Awww. XD

Given away the moral high ground, I rather think. And the homeworld. I liked him for the first couple episodes I saw him in and then he just smarmed himself right out of my good graces. I'll keep Tyrion, the Hound because at least he's obedient and good at what he does, Bronn for the same reasons (well, if you pay him), and Varys. And everyone else can go straight to the seven hells. Well, Ser Barristan, too, but he kind of went "fuck you all I'm out" early on, so.
