Samples

Questions

There follows a randomly selected sample of questions used in the corpus.

  1. Cén saghas ceol beo a sheinntear i do bhaile?

  2. Cad é an t-athrú is mó a tharla i do shaol le deich mbliana anuas?

  3. Dá mbeadh drochamhránaí ag canadh os ard ar an tsráid, an ndéarfeá leis éirí as?

  4. Ar chas tú le duine cáiliúil riamh?

  5. Déan cur síos ar an duine is mó a chuaigh i bhfeidhm ort?

Responses

There follows a randomly selected sample of transcribed responses from the corpus.

  1. Is breá liom an tsraith Modern Family. Tá sé an-chliste agus an-greannmhar.

  2. Chas mé le... leis an bPrionsa Albert, sin Prionsa Monaco.

  3. D'fhreastail mé ar chóisir agus bhí spraoi agam i mBaile Átha Cliath.

  4. Seinntear ceol traidisiúnta i mo bhaile.

  5. Tá conaí orm i lár na cathrach, i mBaile Átha Cliath, aah, mar sin is cathair í seo, cathair cineáilín mór. Uh Tá fadhbanna anseo le daoine bochta, agus le drugaí agus le bruscar. Da mba rud é go raibh cónaí orm faoin tuath nó i mbaile beag, ní bheadh sé cosúil leis an áit seo ar chor ar bith. Bheadh siad i bhfad níos ciúine, i bhfad níos slachtmhara, agus is dócha nach mbeadh na fadhbanna cóiriúlachta céanna ann.
