Hi, I was wondering if someone could translate the phrase "What are we fighting for?"... I don't know if this matters but fighting as in fighting a war.
Thank you.

Hi, Somhairle:
Cén fáth needs the eclipsing "a"
Cén fáth a dtroidimid?
Why do we fight?
Cén fáth a bhfuilimid ag troid?
Why are we fighting?

Grma Oisín,
For some reason I can't quite predict when the 'a' is followed by an eclipse or a séimhiú...
When ya got the time, can ya give us some grammar info on this..

I've just realised I haven't the faintest idea of the rules of that either...

I think it's after
Cén t-am / Cad é an t-am
Cén fath
Cá háit / Cén áit
**me thinks only**
