How to say No in Irish

[@83300d]

I have to say that it is so nice to both hear and read the words. It seems to match my learning style nicely. And you repeat everything quite slowly, then say it again at normal speed. This is extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@margaretdohner9008]

Thank you so much! I’m of Irish descent. My father’s father was born in Ireland as were all of my great grandparents. I have an affinity for languages and would love to learn. Ireland is near and dear to my heart. I hope to travel there and stay awhile, more of a hiatus than a holiday.

[@TheWindingRoad1991]

A beautiful language!

[@casperado666]

I absolutely love your style of teaching! Go raibh míle maith agat!

I am super excited to learn Irish. I've always had a deep appreciation for the history and culture, something my family didn't pass down.

I love your videos and your pronounciation.

Hi Siobhán, Tá súil agam go bhfuil tú go maith. Thank you for the two videos about saying yes and no in Irish. In the first question form we use the copula positive or negative to express yes and no in Irish. Would it be possible to expand on this and say ' I think you are an American', which I think would be given as, 'sílim gur Meiriceánach tú'. and the negative would be, 'ní shílim gur Meiriceanach tú'. Would that be correct?, or do you think it is too advanced. I think it is called reported speech. Thank you again for the videos and your lovely voice! Slán agus beannacht, Pádraig

It's pretty interesting learning. Thanks.

Amazing and thank you

How do you say 'it's a very moonlit night tonight' in Gaelic? My father taught me it when I was younger and I was wondering if his pronunciation was correct. Thank you😊

[@BitesizeIrish]

Would you like to send us an approximation of the phrase that your father taught you, a chara? We'll do our best to help!

[@anakintimbrook8840]

@@BitesizeIrish thank you for your reply yes but it's very difficult for me to write it out. I don't speak any Gaelic. Only that. And I'm not exactly sure what a chara is.... So I will try to write it out phonetically as I remember how it sounded: "Es-a blra-vlick moonlick nick to-nick." The blra and vlic is my way of writing a bit of a tongue roll with that signature Irish sound. Lol and with the "K" sounds, there is a bit of breathiness and the signature Irish k sound. I'm not sure what you call that language nuance, so I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Literally! LOL

[@BitesizeIrish]

That sound like Scots to me. A different language. Here's the wikipedia entry for Scots, to give you some context: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_language

[@anakintimbrook8840]

Thank you!!!! ❤😊

[@nunocordeiro5475]

In Joyce, in the Portrait of Artist as a Young Man, he is asked, at school if he misses his mother. When he replies affirmatively as “I do” he is teased for it, prompting him to change his reply to the taunts of missing his mother by others as “I do not”. Does this lack of a No make its way into English spoken in this way?

[@languageoffootball]

Yes I think they call it Hiberno-English. In Ireland natives will often not answer a question with a direct “yes” or “no” but rather say “I am/I will” or “I will not/I do not” etc.

[@anhunurienmarcstiwdio5038]

Hello I also found on google translate a variation of word "no" when asking translator from Irish into Romanian: "neam t" = "no". How do you pronounce it? It is interesting because Neamt in one word is the name of a county in Romania, word also synonimus in Romanian to the word "German". In this county they have a mountain named "ceah lau". According to google taranslate again, it means "yes" in Irish. How do you pronounce this word, too? How about "durau (= hard). Thank you.

[@anhunurienmarcstiwdio5038]

@@BitesizeIrish I don't think it's an invention of google translate, I know these and other words since I was a small child here in Romania, learned from my parents. Then there was no internet at all. What is not known precisely about some of them is how to pronounce the respective words, but many times it is known how they are written and what they mean in Irish and in Romanian or another language. Here's another example: "turtle" in Irish is definitely spelled "turda", but even today he still hasn't found out how to read this word.

"How are you" I'm chinese is "ni hao ma".." Neel may" in bengali is blue may ( month )..love may or loving may ( blue is the sign of love )..nursery rhymes..blue blue I love you

I can't even pretend I could learn another language. I'm old and have lost the ability to learn new things. I'm here to try to understand how language shapes a culture or how culture shapes a language. Do people that have no direct word for yes or no understand the world, a contract or an agreement just a little bit different? Has this led to people feeling disappointed or misled because of their way of communicating? Do they think people are too blunt when they say no?

[@Julia-jd5bd]

Thank you so much for your videos! They are so helpful! One question: Can you also agree/disagree with assertions by repeating the verb/negated form of the verb or would you have to make a full sentence with pronoun here? Like this, Person A: "He is American." Person B: "Yes (he is)."

[@tenderpawsm473]

My grandmother used to know a few Irish words, but she was not a fluent speaker. She used to say 'nee-jaysh.' (I'm sure I misspelled that. I'm writing that out phonetically). It's also possible that her pronunciation was not perfect. Is there such a word in Irish Gaelic that sounds like 'nee-jaysh?' If so, what does it mean?

[@adhamhmacconchobhair4407]

In what situation would she use that?

[@adhamhmacconchobhair4407]

Are you sure you didn't mis-hear "Ní hea"

I am in shock and I don't want to be up under this bewitchment no longer can you please help me.... how do I break this curse

[@newtdailyvlog]

Please please please do the word duck I'm going to comment on every single new video to do the word doc I have it in a children's Irish book I got last time I was in Ireland and I'm trying to teach it to my children and this helps a lot because everything that I'm pronouncing is wrong and I've gotten a lot of words of wine but they really want to know how to say duck and I have written out phonetically and I don't think I'm saying it right

[@newtdailyvlog]

seam rog thank you I appreciate it I have the spelling I just don't know how to say it but seems to be the story of my life since I'm primarily learning Irish through books since I'm having a hard time finding more than one or two online programs

[@patrickmcnally1532]

Hi Siobhán, regarding using the copula for reported speech, I have come to the conclusion that in using the negative form it would be better to say, 'sílim nach Meiriceánach tú'. I think you are not an American. I hope that is correct! Le meas Pádraig
