  1. Béaloideas - Seanfhocla

    Share Share Post
    Nuair a bhíos an cat amuig bíonn na luca ag imirt
    Is fearr fear amháin beo na beirt marbh.
    An sean madadh le h-agaidh an bóthair fháda agus an coilean le h-agaidh an bhóithrín.
    Is fearr dá chloigeann na ceann amháin.
    Soithigh folamha a dhéanas an torann is mó.
    Is binn beal in-a thost.
    Ní he an fear is mo a léigheas an fear is mo a cainnt.
    An te a leigheas an leabhar agus nach gcuireann e in a meabair béid se ar deireadh in a bhaileabhar.
    Is mairg an teach a bhíos an cearc ag glaodach ann agus an coilleach in-a tost.
