Uaim (Alliteration) (Leaving Cert Irish): Revision Notes

Uaim (Alliteration)

• Baintear úsáid an-éifeachtach as uaim sa dán; "leathan láidir" agus "seasamh ar mo shláinte".

  • Alliteration is used very effectively in the poem.

• Úsáidtear é chun béim a leagan ar fhocail áirithe.

  • It is used to put emphasis on certain words.

• Tá sé tábhachtach sa líne deireanach; "siúd siúl ar an spailpín fánach".

  • It is important in the final line.

• Tuigimid go bhfuil ar an spailpín leanúint ar aghaidh ag obair, mar níl an dara suí sa bhuaile aige.

  • We understand that the spailpín has to continue to work, as he has no other choice.

• Tá éifeacht ceolmhar ag an uaim freisin.

  • The alliteration also has a musical effect.
