SpongeBob SquarePants is an American animated comedy television series created by marine science educator and animator Stephen Hillenburg for Nickelodeon.
Sraith teilifíse grinn grinn Mheiriceá is ea SpongeBob SquarePants a chruthaigh an t-oideoir eolaíochta mara agus an beochantóir Stephen Hillenburg do Nickelodeon.
The series chronicles the adventures and endeavors of the title character and his aquatic friends in the fictional underwater city of Bikini Bottom.
Tugann an tsraith léargas ar eachtraí agus ar iarrachtaí an charachtair teidil agus a chairde uisceacha i gcathair ficseanúil faoi uisce Bikini Bottom.
The fifth-longest-running American animated series, its popularity has made it a media franchise.
Mar gheall ar an gcúigiú sraith beoite Meiriceánach is faide a rith, tá saincheadúnas meán aici.
It is the highest rated series to air on Nickelodeon and ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks most distributed property.
Is í an tsraith is airde rátáil ar an maoin is dáilte Nickelodeon agus ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks.
As of late 2017, the media franchise has generated €11 billion in merchandising revenue for Nickelodeon.
Amhail deireadh 2017, tá saincheadúnas na meán tar éis € 11 billiún a ghiniúint in ioncam marsantachta do Nickelodeon.
Setting.
Socrú.
The series takes place primarily in the fictional benthic (See notes) underwater city of Bikini Bottom located in the Pacific Ocean beneath the real-life coral reef known as Bikini Atoll.
Bíonn an tsraith ar siúl go príomha i gcathair ficseanúil faoi uisce (Féach nótaí) Bikini Bottom atá suite san Aigéan Ciúin faoin sceire coiréil fíor-saoil ar a dtugtar Bikini Atoll.
Its citizens are mostly multicolored fish who live in buildings made from ship funnels and use “boatmobiles”, amalgamations of cars and boats, as a mode of transportation.
Is iasc ildaite iad a saoránaigh den chuid is mó a chónaíonn i bhfoirgnimh déanta as cainéil loinge agus a úsáideann “gluaisrothair”, cónascadh gluaisteán agus bád, mar mhodh iompair.
Recurring locations within Bikini Bottom include the neighboring houses of SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward; two competing restaurants, the Krusty Krab and the Chum Bucket.
I measc na n-áiteanna athfhillteach laistigh de Bikini Bottom tá tithe comharsanacha SpongeBob, Patrick, agus Squidward; dhá bhialann iomaíocha, an Krusty Krab agus an Chum Bucket.
Missus Puffs Boating School, which includes a driving course and a sunken lighthouse.

When the SpongeBob crew began production of the series pilot episode, they were tasked with designing stock locations, to be used repeatedly, where most scenes would take place like the Krusty Krab and SpongeBobs pineapple house.
Nuair a thosaigh criú SpongeBob ag táirgeadh eipeasóid phíolótach na sraithe, cuireadh de chúram orthu suíomhanna stoic a dhearadh, le húsáid arís agus arís eile, áit a mbeadh an chuid is mó de na radhairc ar siúl cosúil le teach anann Krusty Krab agus SpongeBob.
The idea was “to keep everything nautical”, so the crew used plenty of rope, wooden planks, ships wheels, netting, anchors, boilerplates, and rivets to create the shows setting.
Ba é an smaoineamh “gach rud a choinneáil farraige”, agus mar sin d’úsáid an criú neart rópa, pleancanna adhmaid, rothaí long, líontán, ancairí, plátaí coire agus seamanna chun suíomh an seó a chruthú.
Transitions between scenes are marked by bubbles filling the screen, accompanied by the sound of rushing water.
Déantar aistrithe idir radhairc a mharcáil le boilgeoga a líonann an scáileán, agus fuaim uisce luaith ag gabháil leo.
The series features “sky flowers” as a main setting material.
Sa tsraith tá “bláthanna spéir” mar phríomhábhar suite.
When series background designer Kenny Pittenger was asked what they were, he answered, “They function as clouds in a way, but since the show takes place underwater, they arent really clouds.
Nuair a fiafraíodh de Kenny Pittenger, dearthóir cúlra na sraithe, cad a bhí iontu, d’fhreagair sé, “Feidhmíonn siad mar scamaill ar bhealach, ach ós rud é go dtarlaíonn an seó faoi uisce, ní scamaill iad i ndáiríre.
Because of the tiki influence on the show, the background painters use a lot of pattern.”
Mar gheall ar an tionchar tiki ar an seó, úsáideann na péintéirí cúlra a lán patrún. “
Pittenger said the sky flowers were meant to “evoke the look of a flower-print Hawaiian shirt”.
Dúirt Pittenger go raibh sé i gceist ag bláthanna na spéire “cuma léine Haváís cló bláthanna a mhúscailt”.
Notes.
Nótaí.
The benthic zone is the ecological region at the lowest level of a body of water such as an ocean, lake, or stream, including the sediment surface and some sub-surface layers.
Is é an crios beiniciúil an réigiún éiceolaíoch ag an leibhéal is ísle de chorp uisce mar aigéan, loch, nó sruthán, lena n-áirítear dromchla an dríodair agus roinnt sraitheanna fo-dhromchla.
Organisms living in this zone are called benthos and include microorganisms as well as larger invertebrates, such as crustaceans and polychaetes.
Tugtar benthos ar orgánaigh a chónaíonn sa chrios seo agus cuimsíonn siad miocrorgánaigh chomh maith le inveirteabraigh níos mó, mar shampla crústaigh agus polychaetes.
Organisms here generally live in close relationship with the substrate and many are permanently attached to the bottom.
De ghnáth bíonn dlúthbhaint ag orgánaigh anseo leis an tsubstráit agus tá go leor acu ceangailte go buan leis an mbun.
The benthic boundary layer, which includes the bottom layer of water and the uppermost layer of sediment directly influenced by the overlying water, is an integral part of the benthic zone, as it greatly influences the biological activity that takes place there.
Is cuid dhílis den chrios beithíoch an ciseal teorann beinéiteach, lena n- áirítear an bunchiseal uisce agus an ciseal dríodair is airde a mbíonn tionchar díreach ag an uisce forluí air, toisc go mbíonn tionchar mór aige ar an ngníomhaíocht bhitheolaíoch a bhíonn ar siúl ann.
Examples of contact soil layers include sand bottoms, rocky outcrops, coral, and bay mud.
I measc samplaí de shraitheanna ithreach teagmhála tá íochtair ghaineamh, lomáin charraigeacha, coiréil agus láib bhá.
