Bhí mé ag cleachtadh…
“Cheannaigh Betsy bosca brioscaí Girl Scout dom agus tá siad ar fad ithe agam cheana. Is breá liom Mint Thins! Bhí an bosca agam le trí lá agus d’ith mé an ceann deireanach ar maidin seo. N’fheadar ar mbeadh na brioscaí sin ag Éire…”
🙂
Go raibh maith agaibh!an cheann

Hehe, Is aoibhinn le chuile dhuine iad! A fearacht a bhí agamsa le Thin Mints, ach tá bosca Trefoils go hiomlán ídithe i gceann trí lae agam le déanaí chomh maith :/
Fuair mé an focal banghasóg le haghaidh “girl scout” ó http://www.focal.ie/Search.aspx?term=girl scout.
“Thin Mints” –> Miontaí Tanaí?
Is dócha nach gcuirfeadh aistriúchán ar “Thin Mints” mar is ainm ceart dó é ach ní hé cur síos cruinn é. “Miontais Thanaí” = thin mints (i.e. mints that are thin). (Mionta = mint that would print money). Thin Mints is the name of a cookie that isn’t really itself a mint, albeit somewhat thin, so it seems to me that translating that literally would be misleading. But I could be wrong about that, and it may just be a matter of subjectivity. (I also looked up the word “mint” again and it looks like “mismín” might be another or more appropriate word for that. You’d have to get more opinions on that I think)
Dála an scéal, maith thú as gur tharraing túÂ aird dom ar an bhfocal banghasóg. Ní raibh sé ar eolas agam cheana!
