Gach uair a fheicimse Ros na Rún, cloisim 'Maith an fear' nó 'Maith an bhean' cúpla uair. I mBéarla, ní deirtear 'Good man' nó 'Good woman' go minic. Cad é an scéal faoi 'Maith an fear' agus 'Maith an bhean'?

not sure where you are situated saoirse or if you have ever visited Ireland, but in Hiberno-English (the type of English spoken in Ireland) the phrases 'good man' and 'good woman' are said all the time, particularly 'good man.'

maith an fear and maith an bhean are just as common in Irish here

Measaim go dtuigeann Saoirse sin, ach an cheist aici ná an dtagann na nathanna sin i mBéarla ón nGaeilge sa chéad dul síos.

Ní dóigh liom go bhfuil a fhios aici go ndeirtear a leithéid sa Bhéarla ar chor ar bith.

A Phádraigdoire, a chara, is Éireannach mé agus táim i mo chónaí in Éirinn! Cinnte deireann daoine, 'Good man', 'Good woman', 'Good lad' srl, but not nearly as often as they say 'Maith an fear' agus 'Maith an bhean' ar Ros na Rún. Bíonn na phrásaí sin ráite acu cúpla uair gach clár. Ní chloistear é i mBéarla ar Fair City nó aon clár eile chomh minic. Ceapaim go bhfuil sé ait an méid a chloisim é ar Ros na Rún.

awrite tuigim. caithfidh go mbrathann sé ar an áit ina bhfuil tú i do chónaí.

b'fhéidir go bhfuil 'good man' srl i bhfad níos coitianta ó thuaidh ná mar atá sé ó dheas. cluinim féin é achan lá beagnach. tá sé coitianta i nGaeilge Thír Chonaill, mar atá sé i mBéarla na háite, mar sin níor shíl mise a mhór de riamh.

suimiúil mar a deir tú áfach go bhfuil sé chomh coitianta sin i nGaeilge Chonnachta is G na Mumhan mura bhfuil sé ann sa Bhéarla ansin

Agus deirim féin go coitianta é (good man), agus mé as Luimneach.

Rud eile a chloisimse, uaireanta ar Ros na Rún, bíonn na frásaí sin saghas searbhasach, mar shampla: “Dún do chlab, maith an fear” agus “imigh leat, maith an bhean.”
