    It would be good to include a literal translation (word for word) so as well as learning the phrases we get to see how the grammar works for each phrase.

    Beautiful video, as always, Dane! Go raibh maith agat! A couple of my favorite phrases as Gaeilge are as follows: Nar Laga dia i/e = May God not weaken her/nim; An fod a sheasamh, = To stand one's ground, or make a stand. I also love: Na caill do mhisneach! = Don't lose your hope! Agus is aoibhinn liom a frasa seo (D'fhoghlaim e sin diot): Is fearr Gaeilge briste na Bearla cliste! Sin fior!

    Hi, I just discovered you here, and I like your videos. I am trying to get myself going more studying Irish. I have the Buntús Cainte books 1-3, and I have picked up various grammar resources as well like Teach Yourself Irish by Diarmuid Ó Sé, Progress in Irish by Máiréad Ní Ghráda, and a book called Irish Grammar Book by Nollaig Mac Congáil. A lot I guess! ANY suggestions welcome!

    • @LearnIrish
      @LearnIrish  4 роки тому +6

      The very best of luck with it but if you follow my advice it will be the best advice you will ever get about learning Irish. Don't worry or concern yourself with complicated grammar or prepositions. Learn like a toddler - one word at a time and essential verbs like Bí, Déan and Abair. The grammar and all the bells and whistles will arrive, de réir a chéile, later on.

    Go raibh maith agat aris -- one request though which would be to also give the literal meaning of the phrases -- e.g. with "what are your hobbies" if you have a bit of Irish you can tell there is more of a story in what words are there and I found it a bit distracting as I found myself trying to remember what the words literally meant (it's also a bit wonky for me as I learned a dialect different from yours and sometimes the vocabulary is different) but it's *very helpful as always* to have the Irish somewhat resurrected out of whatever cells it has been stored in :)

    Is video iontach e sin! Go raibh maith agat, aris! Some of my favorite frasai as Gaeilge are:
    Nar laga Dia i. (or Nar laga Dia e.) Meaning: May God never weaken her/him.
    Also: Slainte na bhfear agus go maire na mna go deo! And: Fad saol agat, gob fliuch, agus bas in Eirinn! --these are toasts of course.
    (Sorry, nil fhios agam conas ag muin mo riomhaire fadai a cloiscriobh. Can't figure out how to teach this machine to type in Irish, I meant.)

    Something funny about "is deas bualadh leat", "bualadh" means to hit or punch, so you need to use "leat" ("with you") and not "tú" (just "you"), otherwise you'll be saying "it's nice to punch you!"

    Hey something i always have trouble with is the difference between broad consonants and slender consonants. For example, the difference between the words leabhar agus labhair nó turtar agus turtair is a slender r. Milseán agus milseáin is a slender n. That would be a good video 🤷‍♂️

    • @killemall771
      @killemall771 4 роки тому +1

      Yeah, I agree that would be a good lesson. For myself, some words sound very similar, such as 'focal' and 'focail'. I use www.abair.tcd.ie but still the words sounded the same. However, now I believe it's fuk-ull (focal) and fok-ull (focail).
