I'm sorry to go back to the last lesson, but something's been niggling at my brain. There are two accent marks to distinguish long vowels. The Fada (long)...
A Stina, I think there is only one accent mark, but one is longer (sÃneadh fada) than the other, making the long vowel more dragged out sounding. I was ...
Máirín, I took that same passage to mean that the accent can be *called* a 'fada' (long) or 'síneadh fada' (long stretching) and that both terms were...
Exactly my thinking. I've read about older Irish and there are other things but no they aren't the same as a Fada (aka síneadh fada). ... From: Stina Leicht...

Go raibh maith agat Jo / Thank you Jo. I think there are some words where the vowel sound is actually drawn out more, but it looks like that term is called...
A Máirín, Don't worry about it. I've learned things about old Irish I wouldn't know were it not for your question. Hurray for analists! Go raibh maith agat,...
Excellent question, a Mháirín! This will clear up confusion others will have as well. 'Fada' and 'Síneadh Fada' are names for the same accent mark on...
Yes, there is only one accent mark for vowels. LGDG, - G _____ From: philostartingtolearn@yahoogroups.com [mailto:philostartingtolearn@yahoogroups.com] On...

I was looking at some of the questions/answers and got a little confused. the question was "How do you say 'I love you?'" The reply gave a very good...
A chara, This didn't come up in our class. It's too advanced for us right now. We'll be covering all of this in the coming weeks. But to do it out of order,...
Jerry, I'just joined the group the other day and have been trying to figure where to start - I see in this note that there are lessons to be memorized - where...
Go raibh maith agat, a Shíle. Sorry I failed to indicate this in the automatic welcome message for Starting To Learn. I've fixed that now. The semester...
