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. Téim chuig an lúthlann agus déanaim dreasanna aclaíochta. Is breá liom na meáchain a iompair chun mo mheatáin a neartú agus a mhéadú. Agus freisin, ithim bia atá folláin. Ithim glasraí, torthaí, sailéid. Ólaim uisce agus tá sé sin thar a bheith tábhachtach.

5. Níl sé drochbhéasach dún do chlab a rá. Uaireanta is gá é a dhéanamh. Is féidir a bheith borb nó is féidir a bheith séimh ach uaireanta caithfidh tú a rá le duine éigin a chlab a dhúnadh.
