- Cont. from p. 119The following are a few from my home district: Benada, Co. Sligo."Fios agus fiafruighe,
Agus míle d'fhan (h iarraidh) fiafruighe
A FhiafruigheSaid when a person knows just as well as yourself - the matter you are questioned on - just to find your opinion,
2) Also shorter: "D'fhan h-fhiafruighe ort",
Should be fiafruighe but pronounced h-iarraidh.
Such an angry way this was said; I used to think it was a curse.
3) When a person didn't wish to answer a question they would say"Nach cuma dhuit", but not everybody could be rude like this. As children we used say to each other "Isnt it aiqual (equal) to you", ( a direct translation). - "Tá a fhios agam,
Tá a fhios agam,
Tá a fhios agam Rud - cailíní óga ag ithe póirthín na muc"
