Dia duit 😊👋🏻 I hope that you enjoy this video on urú/ eclipsis, one of the more seemingly confusing areas in Irish when you are first faced with it but it's fairly easy to understand after seeing that there is reason to it 😁 If you enjoy this video, give it a thumbs up 👍🏻 and SUBSCRIBE 😉 to see more videos about the Irish language 💚
Slán libh,
Molly 🥰
Disclaimer: I may make mistakes with the language from time to time. I am not fluent nor a professional teacher.
Ohhh so this is basically like how in English 'a' becomes 'an' when the next word starts with a vowel sound! GRMA, this lesson made it very clear!
And intrusive "r" is a sort of eclipsis as well.
You are such a great teacher. You have that blessing. Please don't disappear. I learn pretty well with your teaching. Thank YOU💚
Aw go raibh maith agat 😊 is duine an-chineálta thú 💚
hey this is so cool. In Swiss German we use "Göppel" as a slang word for horse (or bicycle). Apparently it's similar to the Irish word for "horse" when it has it's "uru".
That's really cool!
This may be not coincidental. Although German seems to lose original IE word for "horse" -- looks as some dialects preserved it.
Best brief explanation of eclipsis I have seen. Most explanations are correct but ignore why it is done.
I'm from the north and never had an opportunity to learn Irish in school, thank you so much for this series it's really helping xx
Fáilte romhat 😊💚
DUUUUDE this is exactly what I needed! I have an Irish book that talks about this but I had no idea what it was trying to say about the pronunciation even with the examples. I kept trying to figure it out but I was still so confused. Thanks a lot for your explanation!!! ✨😃👏✨
As a beginner, discovering the urú and séimhiú variations on words was a frustration. Your explanation of how the processes adds flow and beauty to the language makes learning them enjoyable. Great work! Go raibh maith agat!
The androgynous dubs! Love it. A really nice touch.
I have studied several languages to an intermediate level and it's interesting that this effect/rule is actually really common in other languages however I cant think of any other that actually change the spelling to accommodate it
Firinne leat a Dáithí,
Dia dhuit from Louisiana! I've been working on my Irish since last February, and channels like yours make the experience much less daunting. I was working on an exercise and the sentence "Tá gúnaí ag an mbean agus ag an gcailín" came up. I realized I didn't quite know how to pronounce "mbean," but I know now! Go raibh maith agat.
Go raibh maith agat! Your videos really help me! I've been learning Irish for a month now and your videos are such an encouragement!
Once again greetings from Corpus Christi Texas🍀 And once again OutStanding video👍👍
This is very interessant, it indeed makes an already beautifull language more beautifull! 😮😁
GRMA! Your videos are a great supplement for my Gaelige class. :)
Go raibh mile maith agat! I studied Irish at university in the US and Urú was always a total mystery though I thought it probably had something to do with trying to render the oral language in an alphabet -- and you have answered that question for me ❤️ -- love your videos -- keep 'em coming :)
Dia dhuit Molly! Another great video,really liked it! You are doing a good job! I badly needed another video on "Urú" which you uploaded and I liked it! Thaitin an físeán go mór leat!
Go raibh maith agat agus slán go fóill!
Go raibh maith agat 😊
Up Donegal and Galway. My mum is from Donegal. Both counties having Gaeltacht regions
My second day of learning Irish and I’ve watch all your videos already lol
I have been trying to learn this and I just noticed this video . I find it hard to get my head around it but you are very good at explaining it. Your video is very helpful .Go raibh maith agat Molly.
Your lessons bring clear understanding to the structure of Irish. A huge Thank You from NY!

Go raibh míle maith agat. I really needed some explainations on the Urú.
Thank you for your advice. Beautiful language and also a beautiful lady..
Thanks ❤
We you are just the best!
Thought it was very informative
The moment you realise you've been taught Munster Irish all you life 🤣
Could you clarify something about the “bhf”?
You said it sounds like “v”, but did it as a “vw”. Is it generally “v” but “vw” in that particular case or vowel combination, or is it generally a “vw”?
I did it like ‘vw’ because of the ‘ui’ in fuinneog- it’s pronounce fWInyoge so when you add the bh- it becomes vWinyoge. Does that make sense? 😊
Gaeilge i mo chroí Yes! Thanks for clarifying!
Agus mé féin Fresin lol
Hi Molly very many thanks for the very useful video.Could you please make a video in the future for Particles,I think is very important too. Many thanks once again.
i love the bloopers ha.
Hi. Just found your channel and love. I also fell in love with Ireland after visiting about 25 years ago. A question that you’ve probably been asked a 1,000 times. Do most Irish have some knowledge of the Irish language and how to use it?
Does your whole family speak Irish and if so do you all use it daily or occasionally?
Naw they all learned it at school but can’t remember much
Gaeilge i mo chroí That seems to be how it is in Ireland 😳😁
Nicholas Verellen I speak with my dad sometimes. My family very much appreciate the Irish language, it’s just difficult if you’re not a language lover like I am or other people on here, to keep it up
I love the Irish accent. 😍😍
Representing Ulster dialect 💚
Fantastic explanation. Grma.
I really wanna get into higher level irish so i'm studying so I can get 95% on my summer exam. I got 89% on my winter exam.
Go raibh míle. 😁 I know I would learn something new very helpful
THANKS A MILLION, MY PRETTY FRIEND. LOVE YOU.
Great video on the urú!
Great explanation, go raibh maith agat!
thank you
You’re welcome 😁
I've been starting to learn Irish because my great grandmother immigrated from Cork to Canada waaaaay back when and I've always been so drawn to Ireland and dream of moving there someday. I just came across your videos and I love them! This helped me so much because I was so confused about why these little "random" letters kept appearing before certain words. Thank you so much!
Also. In this video, I noticed that my hair and yours are very similar in colour and texture. :)
Hmm, finally I got it.
When at the beginning I see two consonants -- first is pronounced, second is not. )))
Fair play leat
i think it's funny that i'm part Irish and A whole bunch of other ethnicities (including British sadly) :( and i'm learning Irish but sometimes my brother will swear at me in British and i will say an insult back at him in Irish does that sound familiar to anyone or am i overthinking with the idea that my brother and i are kinda reliving the conflict Between the Brits and the Irish i don't know but i think it's kinda funny
so many thousands of Irish and English families are inter-mingled that it has now become destructive to harbour anti-English/British sentiments---almost every English/British person I encounter every day in London has nothing but respect, admiration and goodwill towards Ireland and the Irish
The way I understand it is that take the word mbean and essentially the m eclipses the b sound the same way the moon eclipses the sun so you no longer pronounce the b sound the b is still there to show the root word but it’s not pronounced.
Also, it's good to remind ourselves that it was the elites who were responsible for all the horrors inflicted on the Irish by the English. Regular Irish and English people get on quite well.

Go raibh maith agat! Bhí mé ag foghlaim le Duolingo ach tá sé níos éasca cruth an bhéil a thuiscint.
Go raibh maith agat! Should be learning the Ulster dialect like family who are in Béal Feirste. Seimhiu and uru no longer confuse me :)
EXCELLENT VIDEOS
Go raibh maith agat 😊
I’m a beginner at Irish.
My main question is how do I know when to use which? When I look at an English translation and then the Irish version of a word would have two different spellings but neither seems consistent as to when it should be used.
Greetings, thanks for your lovely videos and comedy :) Sorry If this has been asked or answered previously but what movies would you recommend to watch that are in Irish to help learn the language or would you recommend any movies? Many thanks.
Tame go maith!
Keep it up
How do you pronounce "Ceallachain"? Kay-la-chain? Kay-la-choyn?
Do you mean to say Ceallacháin? It’s pronounced KYALL-uh-han. The “Ce” makes a “Ky” sound. The double ll turns the short a into a long one. In Ulster, our á’s are like “a” in “cat.” So far, it’s “Kyal.” Unstressed vowels tend to have an “uh” sound. Lastly, “cháin” is like “hand” without the “d” sound.
KYAL uh han
I will learn Gaelic
What's your accent? My bet is on either Tyrone, Donegal, or Derry.
aarcas Donegal 😁
@ Thought it sounded familiar, from Strabane myself right on the border.
post an mhaith eile. Is as Dún na nGall mo theaghlach. Teaghlach Mac Eáin, Glenfinn agus Halla an Phoirt. Bainim taitneamh as do chuid oibre.
Go raibh maith agat 😊
So as I understand the urús letters become slender whereas the original consonant was slender? Till this day I has always read, say, "d-each" for "dteach", NOT "deach".
You just drop the pronunciation of the t, you don’t separate the pronunciation of the ‘d’ from the rest of the word
What do you think about videos where you translate - and explain grammar structures by this mean - Irish songs?
Your joke about eclipses, sun and moon reminded me of Clannad's "Theme from Harry's Game" line "Imtheochaidh an ghealach's an ghrian..."
Songs are a lot more complicated and don’t necessarily translate directly so I’m not sure about doing that
@ That's true, without a shadow of a doubt. Well, as a teenager I learned English and more recently Norwegian and some German with songs, but the material in Irish is much more scarce and complicated, I don't know whether it is a useful means to learn the language.
Do you have any personal channel for your daily life sharing. I will follow if so.
No I don’t but I would like to if I had the time 😂
Go raibh maith agat, Molly. BTW, is there an Irish version for your name?
Mallaidh 😊
@ Mallaidh.... Is maith liom an ainm sin. Tá sé álainn.
@ lovely name how do you pronounce it. would it be malee or mallayy
Why have you guys stopped “rolling” the “r”? I think it’s even more beautiful when the “r”s are rolled 🙃
I still do, and I pronounce the slender r as it should be as well
Hi, just came to your channel, your videos.are cool, are you from galway? Im going to visit there
No I’m from Donegal in Ulster 😊
@ maybe I could visit there too, I send you a request at your personal instagram as bryan08bry, sorry for my english
Go raibh maith agat, bainim taitneamh as do fhiseanna! I don't think they realised Leon is cleary Uladh chanuint!
I don’t think it’s any canúint 😂 my family say lions as well
These remind me of Welsh mutations.
What color are your eyes?
Blue 💙😊
@ oh cool it looked grayish-blue but i wasnt sure , i also thought green would be very fitting, because you teach irish - anyways im not going to learn irish i just got this video as a recommondation and honestly i thought you teach how to speak english with irish accent, i didnt know the irish have their own language, is the irish culture somehow connected to the celtic?
🤯👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉
Go raibh mhile mhaith agat
