Thank you very much! I am beginner from Sweden who has only studied Irish for one day, so I cannot thank you properly in Irish yet, but this was very inspiring!
Even though it's more commonly pronounced "v", the correct way is actually "w". The vowels surrounding the bh (o and a) are broad, therefore the "bh" should be pronounced "w".
@@themaggattack It's not really a question of correct or incorrect pronunciation. Standard Irish has no official pronunciation, so speakers just pick a dialect and go with it. Broad "bh" or "mh" is pronounced as "v" in Munster Irish, but as "w" in Connacht and Ulster Irish. It's just a question of dialect.
@@simka321 "Shawn" is written as "Seán" in Irish. I can definitely see the similarity between "Seán" and "Siobhán", but I don't really know if they're etymologically the same. I hope this helps.
Pronouncing slender /t/ and /d/ as is most common and most associated with Ulster Irish. However, some speakers on the Aran Islands in the west of Ireland can also have this trait. As to "wh" or "d" at the beginning of the word: it's pretty much independent of dialect. Some speakers pronounce "duit" as if the first sound were "dh", some as if it were "d", and some speakers just mix them up.
Táim inann gaeilge a labhairt agus ní an fios agam cén faidh a bhfuil mé ag féachaint ar é seo 😂 Here if you want a translation : I'm able to speak irish so I don't know why I'm watching this 😂

I'm learning Irish with my son, who's attending Naíonáin Mhóra. Your channel is so helpful!

Go raibh maith agat is how you say thank you to one person
and "Go raibh maith agaibh" is how you say thank you to more than one person!

Could you be any cuter? Lol. 😍 Thanks and much love! My Grand Niece is named Siobhan. They pronounce it, "Shahvon" though lol.
what dialect pronounces Siobhán with a 'w' sound and not a 'v'? I've only ever heard it with a 'v'.
Even though it's more commonly pronounced "v", the correct way is actually "w". The vowels surrounding the bh (o and a) are broad, therefore the "bh" should be pronounced "w".
@@BitesizeIrish, If someone is named "Shawn", is that the same name as "Siobhán"? Are both names similarly Irish?

How can I access a letter with the Fada on an iPad please?
I'm curious about dialects also - when is duit pronounced like (in Enlish 'Wheat' and when 'ditch')?

D-uh-tsh said fast
Oh duitch
With the 'h' it makes a huh sound so it's a bit different
Siobhán, how would it be pronounced said this way: Breithlá Shona Duit? Would it be like Brrray-law Hunnah Gwitch? Thanks, Garry

hard to pronounce & after a pint of Guinness forget it.
I thought Irish people spoke English.
Why are you saying ‘gaelic’ gaelic is a sport in Ireland.
Language, Sport, and Music...All part of Gaelic culture...
Yeah it's called irish or in irish it's called gaeilge so I don't know where people get gaelic 😂
Wtf is the language
