What's That as Barla?

Bannister is back! The author of the bestselling Proverbs in Irish and Whats That as Gaeilge? returns with another indispensable guide to the Irish language. This comprehensive compendium includes a thematic index and lists of synonyms and antonyms. 'Who would have thought there was more than one way of saying going commando in Irish? And what do expressions like fear gan chathaoir, ag ir a tr or cnaipe a scaoileadh mean? This dictionary is packed with Irish phrases as they are used today, as well as providing fascinating insights into how the language has changed over time. Contemporary Irish has words like tacsil, hipearnasc, svaidhpeil ar deas/ar cl, trasinscneach, ocaocht gan tadhall, along with many others that express the reality of lived experience for a new generation of speakers.'
