Every Wednesday: feature articles, cultural context, audio clips, and news from the Irish-learning community.
Here is a much awaited new addition to our How to Say series.
In this video, you’ll learn how to tell someone that you’re glad to hear something.
Tá áthas orm é sin a chloisteáil.
/Taw aw-hus ur-um ay shin ah khluish-taw-il/
I’m glad to hear that.
Now, let’s break that sentence down:
Tá áthas orm.
/Taw aw-hus ur-um/
I’m glad.
sin
/shin/
that
a chloisteáil
/ah khluish-taw-il/
to hear
clois
/kluish/
to hear (infinitive)

Would it be improper to remove the “é”?
Tá athas orm sin a chloisteáil?
Aaron, a chara,
That sentence would simply mean ‘I am happy to hear’. É in this sentence means that/it.
