I grew up speaking Gaelic at the Hibernian halls in NYC. You are a breath of fresh air go raibh maith agat!

[@bompykaushal9340]

Dia dhuit Siobhán! Really happy to see you again! I'm thankful for this lesson! I found it very useful! An-sásta tú a fheiceáil arís! Bhí sé an-úsáideach dom! Go raibh maith agat agus slán go fóill!

[@m.a.2389]

Go raibh maith agat!! So useful! But 44 killed me. I am German and thought I was experienced in CH-sounds, but the number 44 taught me a lesson... Amazing! Thanks Siobhan!

[@Clodaghbob]

Stick to ‘daichead a ceathair’ … like all the sensible Irish people! 🤪👍🇮🇪

[@IainMcGirr]

More complex that this und Ich kann auf Deutsch verstehen ... Ich liebe in Deutschland Klar

[@per_sev]

Also, how the heck does your channel not have more subscribers, and more views per video? Dang. It's so very helpful.

[@jezwc]

Brilliant!

[@zitaharsanyi5620]

Dia Dhuit! I love your videos, greetings from Hungary!

[@IainMcGirr]

I hate Dia Dhuit or "God be with you ..literally I come from Kerry so we would say Conas ata tu .. or how are you ...

[@vercingetorixwulf9298]

Very good lesson

[@jakubo2603]

Very interesting

[@pompikaushal4604]

Dia duit Siobhán! Great video! I learned something very important! Good job! May God bless you! Maith thú! Go mbeannaí Dia duit ! Slán leat níos déanaí

[@per_sev]

Is there a certain context, or region(s) in which it's either more appropriate, or just common usage for people to number things in scór? I've only heard someone use score when they were quoting the American president, Abraham Lincoln. And, when you say 40 can be said both 'daichead', or 'ceathracha', is there a context in which one is more appropriate?

[@irishmatthew]

I would be interested to know as well. Is daichead and ceathracha used in different dialects? Also I hear scór used a lot on radio na Gaeltachta. Is this a regional variation as well?

[@per_sev]

@@BitesizeIrish thank you very for your reply.

[@scottmaher418]

Can anyone post a sound bite how to pronounce O’ Meachair ? I’m trying to learn my ancient clann name and would love to learn this piece of family history.

[@travelleryu]

3:03 first time I found an Irish word similar to an english equivalent

[@IrishDemon]

Hi there, I’m from cork. Whereabouts are you based?

[@jadeperri5183]

I heard somewhere that there is an "is" between the tens and ones column, such as "ochto is a hocht". Is that a dialect or grammar thing, or an error?

[@soetkinelbers]

Go raibh maith agat! One remark: I keep scrolling through the video but can't seem to find the numbers 10 to 19. I came to the conclusion you left them out, but I think including them would make for a more logical learning video.

[@mcp1228]

a haon deag a do deag so on so on i think

[@per_sev]

Yes, I too was wondering why 10 was not mentioned, and if the 11-19 are the same as the 21-29, or if they're like English, French, and Spanish, where the teens are all different.

[@IainMcGirr]

One way for numbers another for people another for concepts COME on our Lauguage is MORE complex we have different way for people and concepts etc.. so express that example ...Duine amháin: one person. Beirt: two people. Triúr: three people. Ceathrar: four people. Cúigear: five people. Seisear: six people. Seachtar: seven people. Ochtar: eight people.

[@BitesizeIrish]

Indeed, but these are 'bitesize' lessons, so this simply deals with counting to 100. In our opinion it is better to learn one counting system before proceeding to learn another. If you are not comfortable that you have learned one before starting a different one you are likely to get mixed up and end up not being able to use any of them correctly! 😉

[@tudormiller8898]

❤️🇮🇪

[@seamasaccounts4363]

You skipped the teens entirely but found time to do scores?

[@aaaaa4697]

Hi, cen chaoi bhfuil tú, ar chuala tú faoi "KNEECAP"? Tá mo ghrá don cheol le hÉireannaigh ag cabhrú go mór liom!

[@leahmeehan1942]

What about 11 to 19😂

[@sahelanthropusbrensis]

Majority of those number look like they come from Latin.
