Bhíomar ag caint faoi 'fuair mé amach' níos luaithe agus bhí sé i nGaeilge le blianta. viewtopic.php?f=28&t=764&hilit=fuair+m%C3%A9+amach

Cad faoi 'fuair mé isteach'? Bhi m'iníon ar 'Spraoiville' agus dúirt sí, 'fuair mé isteach' meaning 'I got in' (which probably is not perfect English itself). Bhíodh fadhbanna aici leis an pasfhocal cheana. Ceapaim go mBéárlachas é sin. Aon tuairimí le éinne?

It's possible to say:

Fuair mé dul isteach ann.
D'éirigh liom dul isteach ann.

But you need the dul/gabháil, otherwise it's Béarlachas.

Sin an cheann is fearr liom, grma! Bhi mé sásta gur Béarlachas a bhí ann ach uaireanta bionn sé deacair a bheith cinnte.

Fuair?

Yeah, I had the dictionary form and then (half-)changed it. Fixed above.

Isn't that when you just hate the 'Quote' function? It's like a permanent record of all past sins!

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

sounds odd to me... is it "I found a way into it" or something like that?

But that _is_ the meaning of "I got in".
