Na Carachtair: An Fear Chéile (Leaving Cert Irish): Revision Notes

Na Carachtair: An Fear Chéile

• Is gnáthfhear pósta é a bhfuil páiste amháin aige.
  • He is an ordinary married man with one child.
• Oibríonn sé i rith an lae agus dá bhrí sin bíonn sé tuirseach traochta nuair a fhilleann sé abhaile gach lá.
  • He works during the day and is exhausted when he comes home each day.

• Is duine traidisiúnta, leanúnach é agus níl meas aige ar an mbean.
  • He is a traditional, conservative man and he has no respect for his wife.
• Ar ndóigh, tugann sé neamhaird uirthi fad is atá sí ag caint, agus is léir go bhfuil níos mó spéise aige sa pháipéar ná sa mhéid atá a rá aici.
• Of course, he ignores her when she is talking, and it is clear that he has more interest in the paper than what she has to say.

• Teastaíonn tost agus síocháin uaidh.
  • He wants silence and peace.
• Ach is léir gur athair maith é, mar tá sé buartha faoin leanbh agus a bhean ag iarraidh poist lasmuigh den teach – rud a chuireann ionadh air.
  • However, it is clear that he is a good father, because he is worried about the child when his wife wants to get a job outside of the house-something that surprises him.
