Tá údar imní ann                                There’s cause for worry
Tá daoine sceimhlithe ina mbeatha      People are terrified

Cuireann sé alltacht orm                     It horrifies me
Níl insint béal ar                                 There’s no describing
Níos brúidiúla                                    More brutal
Níos nimhní                                       More vicious
Níos foréigní                                      More violent
