Achoimre/Scéal

• Sa dan - in the poem

• ‘Stadeolaíocht’,

• tá an file ag fanacht ar bhus ag stad an bhus. - the poet is waiting for the bus at the bus stop

• Tá sé ag seiceáil amchlár an bhus ar aip ar a fhón. - he is checking a the bus timetable on an app on his phone

• Faraor, agus é ag brú ‘cnaipe na haipe’, tagann an bus. - unfortunately, when he is pressing the ‘button of the app’ the bus comes

• Seachas eolas fíor-ama, faigheann sé ‘radharc fíor-ama’. - instead of getting real-time information, he gets a ‘real-time view’

• Ardaíonn sé a cheann agus feiceann sé an bus ag tiomáint thar bráid. - He raises his head and he sees the bus driving by (passed)

• Ní chuireann an file a ordóg amach agus mar sin ní stopann an bus - the poet doesn’t put out his thumb so the bus doesn’t stop

Téama an dáin

• Measaim gurb é - I think

• Tionchar an fhóin chliste - Influence of the phone

• an príomhthéama sa dán “Stadeolaíocht” - is the main theme

Íomhánna

• tá go leor íomhánna gléineacha sa dán ‘Stadeolaíocht’ - there are many vivid images in the poem ‘name’

• ‘bruim cnaipe na haipe’ - i press the button on the app

• is íomhá é seo a aithneoidh gach duine - this image is one everyone can recognise

• is minic a bhímid sáite san fhón clise - very often we are stuck in the phone

• ní thugaimid aird ar rudaí atá ag tarlú thart orainn - we don’t pay attention to the things that are happening around us

• déanaimid dearmad ar an saol mór - we forget the world

• tá an file ag déanamh an ruda chéanna anseo - the poet is doing the same thing here

• tá sé ag féachaint ar a fhón agus ní fheiceann sé an bus ag dul thar bráid - he is looking at his phone and doesn’t see the bus that is going by
