Comh siúráltha is tá grian ar an aer, as sure as there is a sun in the heavens. Bhí grian againn ó mhaidean, we had sunshine since morning. Luigh an ghrian air, he got a touch of sunstroke Dó gréine, sunburn, gath gréine sunbeam.
gath gréine, a sunbeam. Tá sé ar chúlaibh na gréine, it has it's back to the sun. Tá bolg-le-gréine aige ó mhaidean. He is lying in the sun since this morning.
