Well, Ray apparently says it, and hears it said, up north.

But is it crónaim or cronaím?

Ah, now that I don't know. I heard it, didn't see it. But he did pronounce the first syllable as if the "o" were long.

Ah, I see. :facepalm:

crónaigh "tan, darken, grow dark"
cronaigh "find fault, correct, reprove; notice absence of, miss; overlook, bewitch

Well, I can see how the first verb doesn't get much use in Ireland. :LOL: (And it would be crónaím if it did.)

Bhuel, chronaigh mé "botún" Lughaidh, agus ansin chronaigh Scooby sinn. (I overlooked/missed Lughaidh's "mistake" and then Scooby corrected us.

(Botún is in quotation marks, because it may well be crónaim in dialect.)

To be honest, the first time I ever heard 'cronaím' was from you guys!

Another option I think, 'braithim uaim thú' means 'I miss you'.

I think I heard something in Belfast something like, "Tá cumhaidh orm i do ndiaidh a mhaimi".

:yes:

cumha is "loneliness, homesickness, parting sorrow".
cumha a bheith ort i ndiaidh duine "to feel lonely after, sad at parting with someone".

So that works as well. :good:

:facepalm: So you did, I missed it after you mentioned Ray Mac Manais and I went to look him up online. (I subsequently got caught up in a YouTube chain. :LOL:

(Actually, it looks a bit like part of your signature or a more general comment in Irish in the run of your post, you might like to use bold type for suggestions in future to make them stand out. In fact, I know you usually do and that may be part of the reason I missed it. :dhera: )
