| Ná bíodh do theanga faoi do chrios. | Spit it out!/Speak your mind! | “Don’t let your tongue be under your belt” |
| Ní dheachaigh sé ar scáth ann toir leis. | He spoke bluntly/He didn’t pussyfoot about. | “He didn’t go in the shadow of the bush with it.” |
| Níorbh iontaí liom an sneachta dearg ná é. | “Red snow would not surprise me more than that.” | |
