Dia daoibh! Deas bheith anseo libh sa fóram nua!

Táim ag iarradh
'Here are the inhabitants of no. 16'
a rá, ach níl mé in ann 'uimhir' a chur sa tuiseal ginideach - my attempt was
'Seo hiad cónaitheoirí uimhreach a sé déag'.

Bheinn buíochasach as aon cabhair!

Déarfainn féin nach dtig leat aonaid chainte mar sin a chur sa ghinideach. Cónaitheoirí uimhir 16/a sé déag a scríobhfainn go simplí.

Ok. I was thinking that 'uimhreach' didn't sound right, just lifted the TG from focal.ie. GRMA kokoshneta!

Also, isn't it seo iad rather than seo hiad*?

Yes, you’re right, it is! I didn’t even look at that part of the sentence. :oops:




(Also: weirdest misreading ever. I just passed back over this page after posting and in a split-second reading managed to misread the latter part of your signature text as, “await further opinions, corrections and adjustments before sitting on my face”. 8O )

Maith thú Breandán, go raibh míle.
I trust you so I will act on your advice without further input, and before anybody sits on your face hopefully :D
