Ealish: Ny jean jarrood ny sheshaghtyn-prash. Ta Sheshaght-Prash yn Aeglagh niartal ass towse.

Shimmey sorch dy chiaull ta ry-chlashtyn (SHIMM-a-SURCH-the-HYAWL-ta-ra-KHLASH-chin) - There are lots of sorts of music to be heard (Is many the sort of music (which) is to be heard).
Ealish uses shimmey for emphasis: Manys the sort of music...
Nouns can stay in the singular after shimmey
Remember that dy (meaning of) causes lenition (aspiration):
kiaull - music: dy chiaull - of music
Remember also how to use ry with verbal nouns:
clashtyn - hearing: ry-chlashtyn - to be heard
kiaull classicagh (kyawl-KLASS-ick-akh) - classical music
kiaull y theay (KYAWL-a-TEE-a) - folk music
snagchiaull (snag-hyawl) - jazz
shenn chiaull (shann-hyawl) -early (old) music
ny gorrymyn (na-GORR-um-un) - the blues
Cred elley? (KERR-id-ELL-ya) - What else?
Ny jean jarrood! (na-JINN-jarr-OOD) - Dont forget!
This last expression is an example of how the verb to do/make can be used as an auxiliary, even with orders (imperatives):
jean! - do! / make! jarrood - forgetting jean jarrood! - forget!
To make this negative, just put ny in front.
In fact, with this particular verb jarrood, the imperative and the verbal noun are identical - jarrood means both forgetting and forget!. So we could express Dont forget! as Ny jarrood!
sheshaghtyn-prash (SHEZH-akht-un-PRASH - brass bands
niartal (NYART-al) - powerful
ass towse (ass-towss) - out of measure
tad cosney (tadd-KAWZ-na) - theyre winning
aundyryn (OWN-da-rin) - prizes
Catreeney says She (shay) out of general agreement. At the end of what she says, nagh ve/? effectively means arent they? Theres no need to add ad!
