"Tá mo mhúinteoir ag múineadh ach nílim ag éisteacht mar níl suim agam sa stair."

Translation: My teacher is teaching but I am not listening because I do not have an interest in history.

This is so long for a listening exercise...

[SteffanieS]

I got about 75% through the sentence, and then just gave up. If I wrote a sentence like this in school, I'd expect to have it marked as a run-on.

[coreyhus]

Marked wrong for "in the history" for "sa stair". Is stair a word that doesn't take an article? Or should it be "i stair" for the given translation?

[scilling]

Abstract nouns like stair that are referred to in a wide or general sense take an article in Irish. Since an article isn’t necessarily applied to abstract nouns like “history” in similar circumstances in English, it’s reasonable to translate sa stair as “in history” in this sentence.

[Fingolfin1346]

Also, what a wretched child (tá suim agamsa sa stair).

[FrancesCecelia]

I wrote "Nil me ag eisteacht"............and got it wrong!

[Keloudi]

It doesn't accept "...but I'm not listening...."

[freymuth]

If "I'm" was crossed out and the suggested translation was "I am", definitely report that kind of thing.

[Keloudi]

I reported it an it's fixed now!

[freymuth]

Go breá!

[JD.Hogan-Davies]

Super long. However, I was pleased that I understood the whole thing. It just took me forever to type it all correctly.

[Daithi2820]

The only problem that I have is that she pronounces "ag múineadh" as "ar múineadh". Is this one of those regional variations?

[NickKidd6]

Could it not be "I am not interested in history"?

[SatharnPHL]

It could be.

[LeeInCalif]

Indeed! And in fact "i am not interested in history" is accepted.
