"The teacher is not satisfied with the students."

Translation: Níl an múinteoir sásta leis na daltaí.

[Berkhead]

How about Mic léinn?

[galaxyrocker]

Should be accepted, yes.

[JohannaMcKenna]

why not ndaltaí as in "Cad iad dearchtaí na ndaltaí"? Is it because it is not a phrase like "Poblacht na hÉireann"?

[SatharnPHL]

In dearchtaí na ndaltaí, dalta is in the tuiseal ginideach ("of the students"). In sásta leis na daltaí, dalta is in the tuiseal tabharthach. Different rules apply.

Could ye say something like "ní sasta ar an múinteoir leis na daltaí"?

[SatharnPHL]

No. sásta is an adjective, not a noun. It can't be ar someone.

I was thinking something like that after alright. Thanks.
