Bhí car dearg ag mo bhean chéile, ach tá car bán aici anois.

My wife had a red car, but now she has a white car.

Awesome Gearóid, that seems pretty flash, I'd definitely like to use "úrnua". Thanks.

I'm feeling all proud of myself, starting to feel like I'm getting somewhere with my gaeilge.

'Tá rothar dearg nua agam' is correct

You can also use 'úr'

'Tá rothar dearg úr agam.'

úr means' fresh' or 'new'

You can put 'úr' and 'nua' together to make another word

'úrnua' which means 'brand-new'

'Tá rothar dearg úrnua agam.' meaning 'i have a brand-new red bike.'

Tá rothar dearg nua agam.

An bhfuil sin ceart?

I was wanting to say " I have a new red bike".

Chaith sí gúna dearg ag a pósadh.

(She wore a red dress at her wedding.)

Is as Caisleán na Deirge mé. Tá sé an baile beag.

I'm from Castlederg. It's a small town.
