Iníon (Leaving Cert Irish): Revision Notes

Teicnící Filíochta

Gaeilge	English
Meafar	Metaphor
Úsáideann an file meafar chun an bhróin agus an choimhlint a chur in iúl, mar shampla "bearna glúine" ag léiriú an t-aonar agus an t-easpa tuisceana idir máthair agus iníon.	The poet uses metaphor to express sadness and conflict, for example "generation gap" showing the loneliness and misunderstanding between mother and daughter.
Íomhánna	Imagery
Cruthaíonn an file íomhánna láidre den iníon ag fulaingt agus den máthair ag cuimhneamh ar a hóige, rud a chabhraíonn leis an léitheoir mothúcháin an dá charachtar a thuiscint.	The poet creates strong images of the daughter suffering and the mother remembering her youth, helping the reader understand both characters' emotions.
Béarlachas	Use of English words in Irish
Úsáidtear focail Béarla cosúil le "clue" chun béim a leagan ar an easpa tuisceana agus ar an éagsúlacht teangacha i measc an lae inniu.	English words like "clue" are used to emphasise misunderstanding and language mixing common among today's youth.
Codarsnacht	Contrast
Tá codarsnacht láidir idir an teanga ghránna agus fhreagartha na hiníne agus an ghrá ciúin atá ag an máthair ina croí.	There is a strong contrast between the harsh words and attitude of the daughter and the quiet love in the mother's heart.
Traidisiún agus athrú	Tradition and change
Léiríonn an dán an t-athrú idir glúnta trí chur síos ar na difríochtaí idir an bhean óg agus a hiníon, agus ar an gcomhrac a thagann leis sin.	The poem shows change between generations by describing differences between the young woman and her daughter, and the conflict that comes with that.
Athrá	Repetition
Déantar athrá ar frásaí agus mothúcháin, mar shampla an frása "a théagar is a chuisle", chun béim a leagan ar an gcaidreamh dlúth idir máthair agus iníon.	Phrases and feelings are repeated, such as "a théagar is a chuisle" (my darling), to emphasise the close bond between mother and daughter.
