Cad é an focal is fearr libh? 😁 what's your favourite word? Beidh páirt 2 ag teacht go luath agus beidh mé ag roinnt acmhainní do Ghaeilge Uladh libh 🤗 Part 2 will be coming soon and I will be sharing resources for Ulster Irish with yous 💚
Seriously thank you for putting these out, i come from Armagh so naturally I'm trying to learn Irish In the Ulster dialect but most resources online stick with other dialects, so these help a hell of a lot. Keep at it, as more people start learning Irish I could see you getting really popular. GRMA
I’m also specifically going for an Ulster dialect if possible because my grandad’s coincidentally also from Armagh (My dad’s from Dublin but his Irish is worse than mine tbh and I can’t really learn a native dialect to where I live since I live in Germany)
I'm from Italy and I grew up knowing nothing about Irish (I had teachers who didn't even know Gaelic was different from English!). I'm a languages-lover, and I'm studing Latin, Ancient Greek and Biblical hebrew; English, Old English and German. I know something of Japanese, Russian, Modern Greek, Spanish, French, even two things of Babilonian and Fenician, Sanscrit and Norrein. I like Breton and Welsh a lot... But with Irish Gaelic I litterally fell in love: even if it's so difficult for me to learn! After have met al those other languages, I can say: it is the most beautiful language in the World (even more than my Italian).
Dia duit Molly! Just fabulous! Is maith liom canúit(Ulster) Uladh, cé gur "Connaught" an mianach atá agam! Is maith liom do bhealach teagaisc agus is mór an spraoi agus an -áthas é féachaint ar do chuid físeán! Go raibh míle maith agat agus slán!
What a great surprise! That was Joe Jones, was it not? Before my wife and I lost our theater of 59 years in NYC, Joe would come to a workshop every Tuesdays night. Then the city, state and federal government used the COVID emergency to steal our home and businesses and leave us homeless and exiles in our own land. BUT, your lessons have been a real balm, and it was GREAT to see Joe! Go raibh míle mile maith agat!
Oh go raibh míle maith agat! Is fearr liom an chanúint Uladh! Tá sé go hálainn.❤️ As I improve in Irish, that’s definitely the dialect I want to specialize in, so I can’t wait to see more rudaí mar seo . Also, thanks so much for taking the time to do the English subtitles for this. But as a learner, I do rather miss the Irish subtitles as well, because it helps me see what I’m hearing. I know that takes extra time that isn’t always available, though! Great video!

Glad you enjoyed 😊 I understand that although right now I don’t have the time to do both unfortunately
In the dialect that replaces 'cht' with 'rt' (Gwedore and surounding areas), a slender 'r' is pronounced like an English 'y' sound (slender 'dh' in Irish). So 'teachtaireacht' becomes teartaidheart. I remember having a hard time the first time I head someone say 'iascaidheart' (iascaireacht).
While there are many who do make the r sound in place of the ch in canúint Uladh it's on a person to person basis , not all speakers of canúint Uladh do that , but it's definitely unique to the dialect. One thing I notice a lot is that everyone talks about the cad é use in canúint Uladh but nobody ever mentions the use of Dé which is used in the same manner , Dé mar atá tú Dé mar atá thú , Dé mar athá thú , Dé sin ? , Dé seo?, etc......also , I prefer Gaedhlig to Gaeilge , which a lot of people I've noticed didn't know that was even a way of spelling or saying it......good video , we need more people putting out content like this.
So dialect differences are why Duolingo has i ndiaidh in the 'time' module as well as tar éis. I always thought they were both accepted ways of saying 'after' in An Caighdeán Oifigiúil, or from the Connacht dialect since the course speaker appears to speak Connacht Irish. Never did I think it was Ulster Irish! :)

They may also use it in Connacht but I know for sure that it is generally used in Ulster instead of tar éis
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This video was so helpful. It really cleared up a lot of questions I had about the Ulster dialect. SO proud to be a patreon supporter. Molly - is there anywhere to find conjugations of the verbs that are used in the Donegal Gaeltacht? I know my uncle told me that Table is Tabla rather than Bord. I'm sure there are many more - box is different as well I think. GRMMA!

Grma a Jay 😊 do you mean the conjugations they use or the verbs they use
@ Hi Molly - What I'd like to know is the conjugation for the verb "Chi." Teanglann has it listed as an alternate form of "Feic" but leaves it unconjugated. I know "Feic" is irregular and was wondering if the same held true for "Chi." Also, from speaking with my Uncle in Donegal, it seems to me that he doesn't use the synthetic form of the verb Ta. In other word, he says Ta Me or Ta Muid rather than Taim or Taimid. (Sorry, no Fada on my keyboard) Thanks very much, you're very kind to help us all.
Dia dhuit, a chairde! 06:56 in Connacht dialect "freisin" is pronounced as "froisin". That's what is taught in the book Learn Irish by Mícheál Ó Siadhail😊
Love it,prob gave you a like allready?...I pretty understand Ulster dialect,similar to Scots Gaelige,..so there has to be some Standard for Gaelige,as there is for English?because there are so many dialects?...so would recommend "Foras na Gaelige"?..for more indept studies?...even Dulingo is pretty good,Bennacht na Daoinne,Agus ach na Beopacity,na BHI tienen(joking)
Dia duit Molly! Go deas,an-deas! Is maith liom do chuid físeáin go leor! Tá siad díreach iontach! Tá an físeán seo ar chanúint Uladh an-suimiúil,thaitin sé go mór liom! Coimeád sé suas! Go raibh maith agat agus slán fóill!
Your spoken Irish has progressed so much since you started making videos. Who do you practice speaking with? I live in the United States and don't have the opportunity to go to the Gaeltacht to practice speaking Irish.

Grma, although I think that it just appears that way because I make a lot more videos fully as Gaeilge whereas when I began I wanted to explain some of the beginner topics in English and only this year started to make videos fully as Gaeilge. I speak Irish with a few friends but you can find many opportunities to speak Irish online in the US, try look for ciorcal comhrá, peig.ie has some listed but also my Patreon group, I do regular video calls with my group for beginner and intermediate www.patreon.com/myirishheart
I’m from Offaly and I love your videos. I find it funny how differently we would pronounce a lot of the vocab. I was curious if you heard about the popular game Among Us being translated to Irish some time ago, just wondering what your thoughts are about it. Maybe you could make a video trying it out?

Thanks for watching 💚 I did hear about it I might make a post about it or I’ll mention it in a video but I don’t really have the setup to do a video playing it
I am lost without seeing the text. 'Need to start over again. I have a difficult time hearing someone speak my first language and constantly have to ask people to repeat what they say, especially on the phone; I refuse to talk to people while they are driving and there is all kinds of noise preventing me from understanding them. It makes me cry. Am I alone in this?
@ Yep, I sure don't. I will investigate how to turn them on for both laptop and phone. Thanks! That is a great benefit. Thanks for all the work you do.

Should be in the settings on the video or there should be an icon that says ‘CC’ if you tap that it should give you the option for subtitles
Go raibh maith agat for the wonderful video, Molly ❤️ I’ve also got a question: Can Gaeilge speakers understand Scottish and Manx Gaelic? I’m currently learning Irish on Duolingo, and this question has been on my mind recently 😊
Irish and Scots Gaelic diverged from each other in the 16 and 17th centuries. There are similarities but they are considered different languages like Italian and Spanish. Manx and Irish are more similar but Manx spelling is how an Englishman would spell Irish phonetically and it looks bizzare but it sounds more Irish to me anyway.. all three are very beautiful languages.

I’m trying to be able to understand the northern accent better. This is excellent
love thiss my grandma spoke it and i'm glad someone younger does too xD
Another excellent piece... Always try to mention Duolingo in the title since we the Duolingo'ers are the majority of the learners outside Ireland

@ Tá sé ceart go leor! I’m still learning lots!❤️
I’m going to make it my mission to introduce the word fadúdá to class next week. I don’t know why I’ve never heard it before!
It would be interesting to know how it compares with Scottish Gaelic
In the dialect that replaces 'cht' with 'rt' (Gwedore and surounding areas), a slender 'r' is pronounced like an English 'y' sound (slender 'dh' in Irish). So 'teachtaireacht' becomes teartaidheart. I remember having a hard time the first time I head someone say 'iascaidheart' (iascaireacht).
grmma! an-úsáideach 😁
Grand video. My teachers in primary School were from the forgotten county..they used to throw a little bit of this in on the QT.
While there are many who do make the r sound in place of the ch in canúint Uladh it's on a person to person basis , not all speakers of canúint Uladh do that , but it's definitely unique to the dialect.

I'm using that book at the moment even the spelling of words is different from what I learned in school...great book though.

No problem at all
I read yesterday, there’s something in the works to make Irish the official language of Northern Ireland Did you hear about this?
The horror of Ulster Dialect in the LC oral - a Galway ear! ahahahahah
Does it matter which dialect you learn aside from pronounciation? Are there words that change meaning?
Cad é fadúd duit? I mBéal Feirste. ‘Bout ye!
