Weather Watch
Weather is a favorite topic of conversation in Ireland, and for good reason! The Irish language has rich vocabulary for describing weather conditions. "Tá sé" (it is) begins most weather phrases: "Tá sé fliuch" (it's wet), "Tá sé grianmhar" (it's sunny), "Tá sé gaofar" (it's windy). Learning these expressions helps us discuss something we all experience daily.
Exercise: Create a weather report by:
- Describing today's weather using "Tá sé..."
- Adding one detail about the temperature
- Predicting tomorrow's weather using "Beidh sé..." (It will be...)
