Wow!! Didnt expect a separate set of numbers for people vs things. Im a language geek and to me Irish is the most beautiful language Ive encountered. Going to be a long hard road to learn this one but so well worth it i believe

I got excited to learn that Irish has this differentiation, because it also exists in Slavic languages from which Irish is geographically distant. However, this wasn't the case in the past as Celtic tribes used to dwell in the Balkans, arguably in much closer proximity to the Slavic tribes. It's interesting to note there are Celtic place names that have been preserved throughout history, one of which refers to my hometown Belgrade which used to be known by it Celtic name Singidún (Singidunum in Latin). Anyhow, in Serbo-Croatian we also have a separate set of numerals for men, and another set that can be used for a mixed-gender group or for things that come in pairs, like a pair of pants, a pair of glasses 👓, a pair of eyes, a pair of briefs/pant(ie)s etc. (we perceive both male and female underwear as a pair) Dvojica, trojica, četvorica... means two men, three men, four men... Dvoje, troje, četvoro... means two persons of mixed gender, three persons of mixed gender, four persons of mixed gender... Dvoje naočare, troje naočare, četvore naočare (or more commonly today dvoje naočara, troje naočara, četvoro naočara)... means two pairs of glasses, three pairs of glasses, four pairs of glasses... There is an idiom - otvori četvore oči (or more commonly nowadays otvori četvoro očiju) meaning... keep four eyes open, i.e. be extra cautious. It gets even more complex, because Serbo-Croatian has 7 cases, and depending on the syntax of a sentence you'd modify the number's ending. Njima dvojici je život težak. To those two guys life is difficult. (English uses "to" to express the indirect object in the sentence, while Serbo-Croatian changes the ending of the word from nominative "-ojica" to dative "-ojici"). I could go on and on, but I'll stop myself here. 😅🤭 This is a channel about the Irish language after all 🍀❤️

Awwww. I love these videos so much. I think Siobhán is just PERFECT. Why didn't we have teachers like you when we were at school in Ireland. I've learned more after watching four videos than in 10 years at school.

I love the Irish language and would love to be fluent but it's hard to get the opportunity use it daily so it stays with ye, watching these videos brings so much back that I forgot that I even knew 😊

[@user-lk8uu8df2g]

❤ thank you for the igreat nformation

[@JamzusMaximus]

I LOVE these videos! You are such a good teacher! I *especially* like it when you talk about the genitive, because it's really hard to understand when you read it in the grammar books, but but it makes sooo much more sense when i *hear* you say it... the change in the pronunciation just makes so much more sense! I would love to see you do days of the week, and then them in genitive, months of the year, and then in genitive (e.g. 17th OF March)... those are just what i can think of at the moment.

Q: What does the Navajo word "Dine" (din-Eh) mean? A: The word Dine' is from their own language and means "the people." The word "Navajo" comes from a Tewa-puebloan, word "nava hu" meaning "place of large planted fields". Tell your friends.
