Trí Bhéarla le beagán Gaeilge, ionas gur féidir le gach duine a bheith páirteach agus éisteacht le chéile ar an Mháirt 1 Márta @8pm 2022. Journalist and Author Edel Coffey will be chatting with Manchán about his latest book Tree Dogs, Banshee Fingers and Other Irish Words For Nature, through English with a little bit of Irish, so everyone can join in and listen along on Tuesday the 1st of March @8pm. In Irish there are so many great rain words and magic words and highly specific natural words (such as the material put on the hooves of donkeys to stop them slipping in ice), or words to communicate with animals, or evocative plant words, or the gorgeous words for different amounts of light in the sky, or words that hint at different ways of seeing colour, or twilight words … ’ Manchán Magan is fascinated by words, particularly Irish words, with all of their complex meanings and associations and their connections to the natural world. Having enjoyed huge success with his bestselling book Thirty-Two Words for Field, Manchán now brings his infectious wonder and enthusiasm for the Irish language to a younger audience, offering delightful translations and explanations of animal, bird, fish, insect and nature words. When you see the world through Irish, you see the world differently. Get ready to share the magic with this delightful book for readers of all ages.
