Cúpla Focal
This week’s lesson looks at giving dates. The Fáinne Airgid question, certainly in Newry, will be a two-parter (we will cover the second part in the next unit).
Cad é an dáta atá ann inniu? is the first part
What date is it today?
Cad é an dáta atá ann inniu?
and the second part
Cén dáta breithe atá agat?
What is your date of birth?
Cén dáta breithe atá agat?
It’s not an investigation so you don’t need to give the truth.
So back to, cad é an dáta atá ann inniu?
We may as well re-use the months of the year in the process
