know1, s. F: To be in the know, bheith feasach. Those who are in the know, an mhuintir atá eolach; lucht an eolais.
know2, v.tr. 1 a Aithním. I knew him by his walk, a shiúl a d'aithin mé. I knew him for a German, d'aithin mé gur Ghearmánach é. b Aithním (rud thar, ó, rud eile). To know good from evil, aithint idir an mhaith agus an t-olc. 2 a Tá aithne agam ar (dhuine); tá eolas agam ar (áit). When I got to know him better, nuair a chuaigh mé in aitheantas air. I know him for years, tá seanaithne agam air. I know him slightly, níl ach mearaithne agam air. He knows a lot of people in Dublin, tá aithne mhór i mBaile Átha Cliath aige. b He knows no fear, níor chuir a dhath riamh eagla air. His zeal knows no bounds, tá dúthracht as cuimse ann. 3 They are neighbours of ours but we do not know them, tá siad sa chomharsanacht againn ach ní bhíonn aon chaidreamh againn orthu. 4 Tá (ábhar) agam. He knows Irish, tá Gaeilge aige. I know it by heart, tá sé ar mo theanga agam; tá sé de ghlanmheabhair agam. He knows how to do it, tá lámh mhaith aige air; tá sé in ann a dhéanta. He knows how to read, tig leis léamh; tá léamh aige. He knows how to behave, to speak, tá fios a bhéasa, a labhartha, aige. They ran all they knew, rith siad an méid a bhí ina gcnámha. 5 a Tá a fhios agam; Phil: fiosaím. He knows more than he says, tá níos mó eolais aige ná a ligeas sé air féin. I know that well enough, is maith atá a fhios sin agam. As far as I know, for all I know, ar feadh m'eolais, go bhfios dom. He does not know, níl a fhios aige. How do I know? cá bhfios domsa? As everyone knows, mar is eol don saol. He knows his own mind, tá sé righin as a dhóigh féin. I would have you know that . . ., bíodh a fhios agat ... I don't know that he understands it, tá mé in amhras nach dtuigeann sé é. He didn't quite know what to say, ní mó ná go raibh a fhios aige céard a déarfadh sé. He knows what he is talking about, tá bunúdar aige lena chuid cainte. b I know him to be a liar, tá a fhios agam go bhfuil sé bréagach. I have known it (to) happen, chonaiceamar a mhacasamhail roimhe. Have you ever known me to tell a lie? an bhfuair tú riamh bréagach mé? He had never been known to laugh, ní fhacthas riamh ag gáire é. 6 To get to know sth., eolas a fháil, a chur, ar rud. I knew it yesterday, bhí a fhios agam inné. Please let us know, cuir scéala chugainn le do thoil. Everything gets known, ní féidir rud ar bith a choinneáil ceilte. 7 F: Don't I know it! nach agam atá a fhios!
