Cad é mar a déarfa "Takeaway Chinese" nó "Takeaway Pizza" as Gaeilge?

Mar sin.... "Tá do thúsluascadh Síneach réidh!" ...

Bríd might know the actual term used, but perhaps chun siúil would work? or just le tógáil leat (e.g., le tógáil leat nó le n-ithe istigh)?


Ba mhaith liom cúpla rollóg earraigh ...

rollóg earraigh "spring roll" 春巻 = literally "roll of (the season of ) spring"

When you looked it up on 'Focal.ie', didn't you notice that 'túsluascadh' is 'takeaway' in a golfing context?

I suppose it would be 'béile Síneach le tabhairt leat', but I don't know how you'd fit it into a sentence like "I had a takeaway Chinese last night". Most probably "Bhí takeaway Chinese agam aréir"

(Crossed with Breandán).

True. To think, if only after doing so I had bothered to do something like post a question on a forum someplace to get further information and find out if there was something better.

Sarcasm's all very well, but it shouldn't prevent you from acknowledging the answers you've been given.

True enough. Irritation is no reason to forget one's manners. Go raibh míle maith agaibh for the help heretofore; any further/additional input from other uses would be most welcome as always.

Though perhaps before giving a fellow stick for posting using a word that's clearly out of context - perhaps give him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he did do some cross correlation before asking the question, eh? Especially if the purpose of the post is to ask a question about the very word used.

I just assumed "túsluascadh" was intended as a bit of a joke. (My reply was serious, though. )

I don't think you can just say "takeaway" in Irish (or in most languages other than English) to refer to the food itself. You'd need a word like béile or bia with it, as Errigal suggested.

Perhaps leaving the "takeaway" part understood and just saying D'ith mé bia Síneach aréir "I had Chinese food last night" would be more usual? If the "takeaway" part was important to the context, you might also say, Thóg mé bia Síneach (abhaile) liom aréir.

If it were a shop sign, on the other hand, perhaps Bia chun siúil or Béilí chun siúil would work?

It was more "I have no flippin' idea what the word might be so I'll stick this one in here as it's the only one I have and hope my intent is clear enough" ... as for your reply, I figured. You're one of the pillars here, a Bhreandáin, your answers are most always helpful.

Well, just to continue the loop then re: the original question

What about "Your takeaway is ready?" .. so would it just go to what it is? Bia or Ordú, does that work? "Tá d'Ordú chun siúil réidh."

... related to that. Réidh or Ullamh?

On Foclóir.ie, they have - tabhair leat, tóg leat, and the example they give is -
they sell burgers to take away - díolann siad burgair le tabhairt leat
