"Blianta, míonna, seachtainí, laethanta agus uaireanta."

Translation: Years, months, weeks, days and hours.

[khmanuel]

Agus noimeid.

Couldn't you also say 'sometimes', instead of 'hours'. I was marked incorrect.

[SeanMacAonghusa]

Literally it can mean "sometimes" but when already listing other nouns that are durations of time I don't think it would really make sense to translate it as "sometimes" in this case

[SeanMacAonghusa]

is "laethanta" the exception to the rule "caol le caol agus leathan le leathan"?

[Lancet]

You're right! There is a tiny handful of words that don't follow this rule. Another exception would be ospidéal hospital. Also, the rule doesn't apply to compound words (like UaSirideain's great example breithlá).

[AnLonDubhBeag]

'ae' is how 'é' is written when it is between two broad consonants, so the consonants next to it are understood to be broad.

[FearDorcha5]

The pronunciation of míonna here is quite different to that in an exercise which ended with the words .... míonna an fhómhair for some reason.

[mairedubh]

Doesn't uaireanta mean sometimes?

[sean721187]

Yes, it does. It is also the plural of 'uair' - hour

[RobShee35]

If only this had coicís.
