I ♥️ 🇮🇪. Greetings from 🇪🇦

My native language is Turkish. Therefore, this language group is far from us. However, while listening to it, Irish reminded me a little of the northern languages ​​and Dutch. I wonder if the historical viking invasions from the north had an impact on Ireland?

Our language is beautiful - there’s a distinct musicality and personality to it. I speak Russian and Arabic, and there are many sounds in Irish that don’t exist in English. This helped me develop my pronunciation. An example would be the expression in Irish: ar nós na gaoithe (at the speed of the wind). The word gaoithe (wind) contains the Russian letter ы which trips up English native speakers. The Irish spoken by the gent in the video is a balm to the soul. It makes me proud to hear him speak Irish so naturally and with such pleasure. Great conversation. 🇮🇪❤💪

Are you Irish? Me: yes Can you speak Irish. Me: no. I’m also Japanese and I can speak a little bit of that😃😄😃

Dfhoglaim me mo Gaeilge I mBeal atha an gearaigh.

I can't speak a word it's all lost on me. Also has a random fluent conversation.

OK IM PURE STUPID IRISH IS A LANGUAGE???

It’s kinda embarrassing how so few seem to speak their native language. And the ones who claimed they knew little was literally fluent, of course as they were older gentlemen. I understand it’s easy to take a language for granted, but being indigenous and my people where colonized for 500+ years by Spain, Britain, USA and invaded by Japan during WW2,, which literally destroyed our own sense of self and alot of our major traditions and cultural practices that also reflected our identify, I know how important it is to have pride in ones culture, heritage and ancestry as well as history. Language is such a huge part of one’s identity and connection to a country, and people, and once lost, it’s pretty darn hard to get it back. And when it’s lost, that’s when people realize how precious it was. So much knowledge in a language. Sad. My bf is Icelandic and 24% part Irish/Scottish (Celtic). I really love the sounds of the Irish Gaelge and Scottish Gaelic. Beautiful language. I love the tradition of Sean-nós, from Connemara especially: sibling duo Séamus and Caoimhe Uí Fhlatharta from An Áird Mhóir, Carna.

I don’t understand Irish but it seems to me that is as difficult as Turkish in the sense that I can’t pick a single word in order to repeat. The pronunciation is indiscernible 😅

I stayed in the hostel above the Temple Bar many years ago & it was fun but noisey. Wonderful to see you again. The Red lip on you is Devine❤

Love the Mayo hat

You can tell he’s a native speaker by the “is” sentences he uses: is as Corcaigh mé etc

Keep the language alive.❤

Don't give citizenship to immigrants. They should remain as guests.

I aoibhinn loim an fíos seo. Is fada ó a bhí mé in ann éisteacht leis an méid seo Gaeilge. 🫶

Do Irish folk ever have people tell them Irish is just a dialect of English, the way we get told Ukrainian is a dialect of Russian? I love seeing old languages having a resurgence lately, and I hope more young people pick it up through social media ❤ thanks for sharing this lovely conversation!

Great language the Irish Myself, I am fluent in Welsh language my mother tongue but have emigrated to North America where it will die out with my wife and me; as my kids haven’t been able to speak it because unlike the Spanish speaking children don’t have other Welsh children to speak with. When i visited my old home town in West Wales i noticed the kids on the street didn’t speak the old language as i and my friends did in the 70s When i asked them why , response was “It’s not cool” Also the massive influx of English people moving to the region buying property up property and houses at prices the natives can’t afford These people are vehemently opposed to their children learning Welsh in the schools pointing out that it’s an unnecessary dead and unproductive language that just needs to die a natural death

this is so cool! i’m but a humble 12.5% irish but i was really into irish as a language (and medieval history in general) when i was in high school and wanted to learn Irish

I love this. The English bastards suppressed speaking of the language and now it's gradually coming back.

if you take all the subscribe ads and super thanks shit we may actually read thefucking captions and understand the vdeo

isn't Muhammad the number one baby name in Galway, I think I seen a video on that, how wonderful that Ireland has become so diverse and not just full of Irish

I can relate. My dad ysed to buy treats for us in the corner shop and leave them behind the counter for us. We werent allowed to see him either, so he used to come and watch us without knowing and leave him gifts. He died of a massive heart attack, and now the village we love in have a defibrillator in his name. No phone box im afraid.

❤❤❤

The language is live and kicking in Belfast there are many schools that teach it. My daughter is 15 and is fluent in the Irish 🇮🇪

Beautiful language on the ear

Imagine every group of humans got a unit in a shared apartment building. Culture is the curtain pattern local circumstances forced your Grandma to hang in the windows. Sure, it makes each unit look unique from the outside but the people really aren't and the building should matter far more than ensuring we all keep choosing the same pattern Grandma had to pick despite having access to every pattern and fabric known to our species. Rebranding tribalism doesn't make it less regressive.

There are several Irish-speaking dialects - mainly Munster Irish (which this lovely gentlman is speaking); Galway/Connaught Irish (lady speaking); and Donegal Irish (Ulster province). My family also live in Ballyvourney, County Cork (Baile Mhuirne, Co. Chorcaí) - where this gentleman is from - which is in the Munster Gaeltacht (Gaeltacht Mhuscraí). The schools in the gaeltacht areas teach ALL subjects through 'Irish' and locals speak 'Irish'. I naturally LOVE the sound of 'Munster Irish' as it is 'soft and flowing and easier to understand' (imo) and it used to be the 'national dialect' in books, on tv/radio, etc. But now 'Connaught Irish' is the 'national dialect' which I find 'harsher, sharper and more gutteral' with Ulster Irish more so again. Sorry, I'm not starting an Irish Dialect war here. As I said, I'm from the Munster Gaeltacht, so of course I'm biased 😂

1.The Iris language (called 'Irish' when you're speaking/writing in English. And called 'Gaeilge' when you're speaking/writing in Irish) is taught in every school in Republic of Ireland (Éire). So children learn to speak, read and write Irish from approx. ages 4 to age 18/19 years.

Missed you two. Congratulations on becoming a mom. Tell Alex he is still the star of the show!

Mummy and daddy are good people and going to raise a good boy!! Love that C'mas tree you had, its my favorite type of tree too!!!! So gorgeous!!! Glad you got to have some free mommy time to go to the C'mas party. I'm sure you needed it. Miss you on the TRY Channel, hope to see you more often over there. Love and hugs and have a GOOD new year!!!

"Their help number was listed as Joe Duffy" That's hilarious 😂

It must have been nice to get out and about. I know how hard it is when you have a little one. I hope you have a wonderful 2025 and enjoy all the milestone's you get to see with Fionn.

Smithereens is an Irish word that has found its way into English. It literally means "little pieces"

Good luck keeping your beautiful language alive. I’m afraid of the future of my own Icelandic language, the increasing use of English especially by younger people and just kids is worrying. I think it’s up to us all who speak the language. Try and make kids read books like my generation did and all the generation before us. I read somewhere that we have taken 46 words from Gaelic! Kjalarnes, Kjölur (means a fell that looks líka a boat upside down) Beinageit !

Eeee what a fab café! My great-great grandfather, Launcelot, was the last person to speak Irish in my family. My granddad left Nenagh when the British ****s threw a grenade through the neighbour's window. Then he went to live in.....England :( which was a shame. I personally would have stayed and fought, I think...but I don't truly know as I wasn't there at the time, and he was only 19. I love how beautiful and green Ireland is, however Dublin has a weird vibe to it. It didn't want to see ****ing Boots chemist, I wanted to see O'Hagan's potigéir (or however you spell it.... got the fada wrong)... I wish I could turn the clock back and rewrite history and make the British treat the lovely people of Ireland with the respect they deserve. That road Bothar na Hotharloinne near the Pairc an fionnuisce has a super weird feel to it! I walked up and down it trying to work out why it felt that way. It feels almost like it's frozen in time and nothing is able to thrive there.

Heya Clisare, I remember you from the Try Channel. I really wish you would do an Irish language learning channel. I think you'd be great at that. I've got an Irish app and I've bought a huge dictionary so I'm just learning words for now.

So nice to hear about yr lovely wee bab; "The days are so long, but the years fly by." Thanks for showing us the Christmassy pub, that's going on the bucket list. Wishing you and yrs a happy and healthy year ahead!

Im only starting to learn irish, but one of my mates can speak it very well id love to go here with him ajd just listen to him and everyone speak it even if I dont have a clue of it 😂

I’m American Gael, I speak Gaelige, and I promise you I’ll never go back to that rats ass of an island, too many flees!

Late to the party but a huge congrats to you two on the newest family member! ❤🎉

It sounds like sims language 😂😂😂

This is what is happening to Catalan. Catalanoparlants: quan tingueu l'edat d'aquest home, estareu en la mateixa situació i pensareu el mateix.

it’s soooo nice to see you (and alex) again! congrats again on your bundle of joy, hope your family is doing well 💖

tá sé deacfáir é seo a thuigfáil már tá mise as doire ach té an bróg éice nís chlairiúl ná a bhfuil daoine as an áit sin í mbéarla! haha

mise fosta, cháil mé achan rud! níl seans agam é a labháirt de 30 bliain

So happy for you and your new baby! Congratulations! Happy new year 🎊!

Someday, I want to see all Celtic languages combined have more total speakers than Estonian.

I live in Wales and don't enjoy the Welsh language much. Irish Gaelic sounds so much better IMO!

Yes it's wonderful, I heard locals speaking in Gaelic when I was in a pub in Donegal, also in a cafe in Scotland on the isle of Lewis, it was so fascinating I was trying hard not to look like I was ear wigging on their conversation lol 😆
