"What is your aim here?"

Translation: Cad é bhur n-aidhm anseo?

[tomasdeb]

Any reason not to use "céard" in place of "cad"?

[galaxyrocker]

Dialect? If you want to speak Connacht Irish, use céard. If you want to speak anything else, use cad.

[joanmvanore]

I should probably already know this ..... but it's not "cad i" because the noun has a possessive pronoun? (I thought I was being pretty swift remembering that aidhm is feminine ....)

[SatharnPHL]

It's not í because, while the word aidhm is feminine, the actual "aim" itself may not be. "My aim is to climb that hill", "his aim is to get on the team", etc.

[joanmvanore]

Huh. GRMA.
