Any chance of a few more smilies? There is a good selection but apparently I am more childish than I realised...

(If there was a begging smilie, I would use it now.

To say "smiley" in Irish I invented the word "aoibheog" a couple of years ago.
Once I saw another word on some forum but I can't remember what it is nor where no who created it...

I think straoiseog is the most common word (though it’s a bit broader—‘emoticon’ vs. ‘smiley’).

I wasn't trying to be so creative as to invent a word. I was just having an 'ar mo bhicycle' type moment! How cool would it be to invent a word that stuck?

That's what www.focal.ie has so I guess that's the official term.

I would think that "straois" has a kinda negative slant.

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.

Cha rabh'n focal "straois" agam so char thuig mé é. B'fhéidir go bhfuil "aoibh" níos comónta?
Ní hionann emoticon agus smiley cibith. Is emoticon : -), : -( srl, agus is smiley :D ;) ...

Má scríobhann tú "smiley" leis a' leitriú Ghaeilge, faghann tú "smaidhlí" dar liom :)

You seem like you are very in touch with your emotional side!!! Focal.ie should know the difference.

Found this old thread and thought it would make sense to show off the recently designed smilies. Very coooooool!
