"Hey, Mam, what's for dinner?"

It's a common enough question in any language. So, how would Gaeltacht kids ask their parents in Irish?

I'm not a Gaeltacht kid but I would say something like:
"A Mhamaí, 'dé 'íosfas muid anocht?"

Thanks for the input, a Lughaidh. I do like anocht as a substitute for "for dinner".

In Connemara, I suppose that would be A Mhama, céard a íosfaidh muid anocht? ?

For other possibilities, how about:

A Mhamaí, céard a bheidh againn le haghaidh suipéir?
A Mhamaí, céard a íosfaidh muid le haghaidh suipéir?
A Mhamaí, céard a bheidh againn le n-ithe anocht?

(Confirmation or correction welcome. )

Some more:

A Mhamaí, cad a bheidh againn don phroinn/ bproinn anocht?

A Mhamaí, cad a bheidh againn le haghaidh an phroinneach/na proinne anocht?

Seo é mo chuid-se.

A mhamaí,

céard 'tá le h-aghaidh dinnéar ? What's for dinner ?

céard 'tá 'ad le h-aghaidh dinnéar ? What have you got for dinner ?

Céard 'tá le n-ithe ? What's to eat ?

Ach, le haghaidh dinnéir, nach ea?

An eadh ? Go raibh maith 'ad a Bhreandáin, ach coinneoidh mé an 'h-aghaidh' mar is fearr liom an sean leagan.

Bhí mé ag éisteacht le na gasúir indiu, agus dubhairt siad

Céard 'tá le h-aghaidh an dinnéar ?

"Le h-aghaidh an dinnéar"? sin nó "le h-aghaidh an dinnéir"?
