This page explains how to use the website and its search functions effectively. Type the word (or multi-word expression) you’re looking for into the search box at the top of the screen . The word can be in Irish or English. Then press the Enter key on your keyboard or click the search icon in the search box. As this website contains four separate collections, your search results will be presented under four tabs . You can change between collections by clicking the tabs. A tab displayed in colour means that there are some results available in that collection. A greyed-out tab means there are no results in that collection. If you started your search from the home page, the website will redirect you to whichever collection has the most relevant results. If you started your search from a particular collection, the search will be performed in that collection first. If an entry is available that corresponds exactly to the text you searched for, you’ll get that entry at the top of your result list . Underneath that you’ll find relevant parts of other entries that match your search . You’ll also often be displayed a list of example sentences from other entries containing your search word (or words) . This list gives you up to 50 sentences at first. If more are available, you’ll see a button at the bottom of the list which you can click to display more. You can use this website to do a “reverse search” in the two dictionaries available here (Foclóir Gaeilge–Béarla and English–Irish Dictionary). When your search has yielded results in both languages, as it does in the case of ‘dream’ or ‘bean’ for example, you’ll see a row of buttons at the top to switch between the language directions. The website automatically checks the spelling of every search and suggests similar words underneath the search box . You may find this helpful if you do not know the correct spelling of the word you’re looking for. Also, the search process is configured for inflection (in both languages) and mutation rules (in Irish). If you search for an inflected or mutated word, such as a verb in the past tense, the website will usually recognize that and offer the base form to you at the top of the result list . If your search contains more than one word, it will yield a list of example sentences and other instances where all these words occur, even if they are not next to each other. For example, if you search ‘fear céile’ in English–Irish Dictionary, you’ll get several sentences where the two words co-occur, even when they are quite far from each other, such as ‘fear a ghlacadh mar chéile’. The search algorithm applies the grammatical rules of both languages and automatically includes inflected and/or mutated forms. For example, if your search contains the English word ‘take’, it will return results that contain ‘took’, ‘taken’ and so on. In Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla, the system understands what most of the tildes (the symbols ~) stand for and uses this knowledge during the search. For example, if you search for lá fada, you’ll get several hits including those where one of the words is a tilde. Further development on handling of tildes is planned in the future. In the case of Foclóir Gaeilge–Béarla and English–Irish Dictionary, the layout and formatting of entries is almost identical to how they appear in the printed dictionaries, with some additional colour-coding. Grammatical and other abbreviations appear in green and you can get an explanation of what they mean by hovering the cursor over them; the explanation will appear in a little pop-up box. Entries in the Grammar Database are presented as tables of inflected forms. These tables can be short or long depending on the part of speech. In the case of verbs, you can switch between different tenses and moods by making a selection from the drop-down list . In the Pronunciation Database you can listen to sound recordings by clicking on them. The sound should start playing almost immediately after a click. Make sure your speakers are on! This website is designed to be easy to use on small screens, such as on mobile phones. All you have to do is navigate with your web browser to the same address (breis.focloir.ie). The website will recognize that it is on a small screen and will reorganize itself into a more concise layout. Apart from that, the search functions are identical to those available on desktop computers.

Tabharfaidh an leathanach seo treoir duit chun an tairbhe is mó a bhaint as an suíomh agus as na feidhmeanna cuardaigh. Scríobh an focal (nó aonad ilfhoclach) atá uait sa bhosca ag barr an scáileáin . Is féidir é a bheith i nGaeilge nó i mBéarla. Ansin, brúigh an cnaipe Enter ar an méarchlár agat nó cliceáil ar an deilbhín sa bhosca chun go ndéanfar an cuardach. Cuirfear na torthaí i do láthair faoi cheithre chluaisín toisc go bhfuil ceithre bhailiúchán ar fáil ar an suíomh seo. Is féidir athrú idir na bailiúcháin ach cliceáil ar na cluaisíní. Má tá an cluaisín daite, ciallaíonn sé go bhfuil torthaí ar fáil sa bhailiúchán sin. Má tá dath liath ar an gcluaisín, ciallaíonn sé nach bhfuil toradh ar bith ar fáil ann. Má thosaigh tú an cuardach ó leathanach baile an tsuímh, déanfar tú a atreorú chuig an mbailiúchán is mó torthaí. Más rud é go raibh bailiúchán faoi leith oscailte agat cheana agus tú ag dul i mbun an chuardaigh, fanfaidh tú sa bhailiúchán sin. Má tá iontráil ar fáil a fhreagraíonn go beacht don téacs a ndearna tú cuardach air, gheobhaidh tú an iontráil sin ag barr an liosta torthaí . Thíos faoi sin gheobhaidh tú codanna as iontrálacha eile a fhreagraíonn do do chuardach . Ina measc sin, feicfidh tú liosta abairtí samplacha as iontrálacha eile ina dtagann an focal (nó na focail) chun cinn . Tugann an liosta sin suas le 50 abairt duit ar dtús. Má tá breis is an méid sin ar fáil, feicfidh tú cnaipe ag bun an liosta sin chun tuilleadh abairtí a thaispeáint. Tugann an suíomh seo deis duit cuardach “droim ar ais” a dhéanamh sa dá fhoclóir atá ar fáil anseo (Foclóir Gaeilge–Béarla agus English–Irish Dictionary). Má bhíonn torthaí ar fáil ar do chuardach sa dá theanga, mar atá i gcás na bhfocal ‘bean’ agus ‘dream’ mar shampla, beidh cnaipí ar fáil duit chun athrú idir Gaeilge agus Béarla. Déanann an suíomh seiceáil litrithe ar gach cuardach agus cuireann sé liosta d’fhocail chosúla faoi do bhráid. Faoin mbosca cuardaigh a gheobhaidh tú iad . Seans go gcuideoidh an áis seo leat an focal ceart a aimsiú fiú mura bhfuil litriú ceart an fhocail ar eolas agat. Tugann an próiseas cuardaigh aird ar infhilleadh agus claochlú na bhfocal chomh maith. Má dhéanann tú cuardach ar fhocal atá infhillte agus/nó claochlaithe, mar shampla briathar san aimsir chaite, aithneofar sin agus gcuirfear bunfhoirm an fhocail faoi do bhráid ag barr na dtorthaí cuardaigh . Má dhéanann tú cuardach ar dhá fhocal nó níos mó le chéile, gheobhaidh tú liosta d’abairtí samplacha agus míreanna eile ina dtagann na focail sin chun cinn, fiú mura bhfuil na focail in aice a chéile. Mar shampla, má chuardaíonn tú ‘fear céile’ in English–Irish Dictionary, gheobhaidh tú roinnt abairtí ina bhfuil na focail sin ar fáil, fiú cinn ina bhfuil an dá fhocal i bhfad ó chéile, mar shampla ‘fear a ghlacadh mar chéile’. Tá an cuardach seo eolach ar rialacha gramadaí na Gaeilge agus an Bhéarla araon, agus cuireann sé foirmeacha infhillte agus claochluithe na bhfocal san áireamh go huathoibríoch. Mar shampla, má tá an focal ‘take’ mar chuid den téacs cuardaigh, aimseofar abairtí ina bhfuil gach foirm de: ‘took’, ‘taken’ agus mar sin de. In Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla, tuigeann an córas cad atá taobh thiar d'fhormhór na dtildí (na siombailí ~) agus baineann sé leas as an eolas sin sa chuardach. Mar shampla, má dhéanann tú cuardach ar lá fada, gheobhaidh tú roinnt amas, ina measc cinn ina bhfuil ceann den dá fhocal ina thilde. Déanfar breis forbartha ar láimhseáil na dtildí amach anseo. I gcás Foclóir Gaeilge–Béarla agus English–Irish Dictionary, is ionann, geall leis, leagan amach agus formáidiú na n-iontrálacha anseo agus sna foclóirí clóite. Bíonn dath uaine ar na noda (gramadaí agus eile) agus is féidir míniú na nod a fheiceáil ach an luchóg a chur orthu; tiocfaidh an míniú aníos i mbolgán cainte in aice leis an nod. Is mar tháblaí foirmeacha a chuirtear na hiontrálacha i láthair sa Bhunachar Gramadaí. Bíonn na táblaí seo gearr nó fada, ar brath ar an roinn chainte atá i gceist. Más ar bhriathar atá tú ag féachaint, tabhair faoi deara gur féidir leat athrú ó aimsir amháin go haimsir/modh eile ach an ceann atá uait a roghnú sa liosta . Sa Bhunachar Fuaime is féidir éisteacht leis na taifid ach cliceáil orthu. Ba chóir go gcloisfeá an fhuaim go gairid i ndiaidh duit cliceáil uirthi. Déan cinnte go bhfuil callairí do ríomhaire ar siúl. Tá an suíomh seo deartha sa dóigh go bhféadfaí é a úsáid go saoráideach ar scáileán cúng, mar a bhíonn ar na gutháin phóca. Níl le déanamh ach dul chuig an an seoladh céanna (breis.focloir.ie). Aithneoidh an suíomh gur ar scáileán cúng atá sé agus cuirfidh sé leagan amach níos gonta air féin. Is ionann na feidhmeanna cuardaigh atá ar fáil sa leagan amach sin agus atá ar scáileán leathan an ríomhaire deisce.
