Can-linn means..

[edit]

The name ‘Can-linn’ is derived from the Irish ‘to sing together’. From source. Linn does mean with us, but according to the refernce, which we go by its different. Murry1975 (talk) 23:46, 22 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

No, the source is wrong, or rather: It gives a very loose translation for "can linn". Linn means literary with us and not together. le = with, liom = with me, linn = with us. Can means sing! (imperative mood, 2nd person singular). So, Can linn means literary Sing with us! Let's consult a dictionary: http://breis.focloir.ie/ga/fgb/le, http://breis.focloir.ie/ga/fgb/can. English infinitive to sing is rendered in Irish by the verbal noun canadh, together is le chéile, to sing together = canadh le chéile. -- MacCambridge (talk) 20:35, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
