Irish Translation Forum

Hello... I was wondering if anyone can help me translating the word 'Intensity'... rud a deanamh go dian is heard but seems to mean 'with great application' or something... not quite the same thing. I'm wondering about it especially in the context of playing music or music itself... intense; not in the sense of an intense person but the quality of intensity. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks. Mich.

Díograis is a word for fervour or intensity - you could say go díograiseach meaning fervently or zealously. Wait for more.

Thanks Daithi... I was wondering where I had heard the word díograis before... then a light went on: it occurs in Mac an Ceannuidhe by O'Rathaille. Looking at an old dictionary just now I found for intensely: 'Ar nós an Diabhail'... might have some unwanted associations I suppose. Anyway thanks.

go cíocrach could apply in certain contexts.
