"Innealtóir nó feirmeoir?"

Translation: An engineer or a farmer?

[SteffanieS]

It sounds like an existential question to me.

[Eikoopmit]

I honestly can't tell the difference.

[Sevandin]

Why not Both?

[Bush6984]

Tractor engineer, crop genetics engineer, construction-systems of farm equipment engineer, etc...

I initially was going to poke fun at the odd/unconventional comparison of the sentence, but your response is great, and brings to light the question of "well, they're actually not as mutually exclusive as one might initially believe..."

[joshuaburrow]

Neither - I'm gonna become Zootopia's first bunny cop!

[MaryEllyn3]

It sounds like fared nor for feirmeoir... I know my hearing isn't great, but m or n?

[moss680049]

"'Engineer or farmer ?"'. .... Why was this not acceptable?

[Sugar8Skull]

I have the same question as MaryEllyn3: Is the last syllable of "feirmeoir" 'nur' or 'mur'? I hear it more like an 'n'. Am I mishearing this, is it an error on Duolingo's part, does this vary depending on dialects...? Thanks!

[19O492554]

You're mishearing it.

[Sugar8Skull]

Hmmm... I see, or actually, I hear... It's very subtle; almost like a mix between an 'm' and an 'n'.

[FrancisCam838067]

In the Occupations module, I too hear it as an 'n' in the first instance, unlike any of the three very different pronunciations at https://www.teanglann.ie/en/fuaim/feirmeoir. But later in the same module, I hear it as an 'm'. You just pays your money and takes your choice, I suppose.

[mikeinkerry]

Sounds very different in different dialects. Confuses the hell out om me.

[fintanowen]

I can't hear the difference here between ó and o. Maybe I'm just missing it

[Knocksedan]

eo is normally pronounced ó (with the obvious exception of seo).

beo
ceo
meon
