The Plural of "Feis" |
Just a note about an important word: the word is "feis". The plural is feiseanna It's not "feises" and it's not "feisanna". Notice it has an "e" after the "s". This is the only correct spelling. The word is pronounced FESH-uh-nuh It's not pronounced "fesh-AH-nuh", which you'll hear quite often. Now, if you look around the Web, you'll find tons and tons of websites that spell it incorrectly, and tons that give incorrect pronunciations! Now that you know this, start noticing this; you'll find it wrong a lot. So, amaze your friends and family, and use the word correctly. You'll get used to it after you do it awhile. While we're on the subject, the plural of "oireachtas" is "oireachtaisi", pronounced "uh-ROCK-tuh-see". Go raibh maith agat, Dave
