Dia dhuit. I love this type of learning as it gives insight to the Irish psyche.
Im really loving these. I was born in Northern Ireland and live here too but my family is from Galway and I consider myself Irish, not British so I thought Id learn the language and embrace the culture like I should have done all these years. Thank you for helping me to do that.
Tá fáilte romhat 😊 maith thú! Coinnigh leis!
Chrissy Lee Stewart what a lovely, inspirational comment! I’m learning as well, love this channel! So happy to hear other people are learning too! I can’t wait for the day that Irish is spoken conversational throughout Ireland because it is such a interesting language as is the land and history. ☘️
This Texan wants to thank you for helping him to get in touch with his roots. It's so great to see young people like yourself sharing and saving this precious language. GRMA!
Thank you for this one! It made me realize just how Irish my mother was, culturally speaking. Although her Irish ancestors came to America several generations before her, she used a lot of these expressions all the time. Now I know they're not just common sayings here; they're really Irish. It's just another thing to strengthen the strong affinity I've always had for this side of my very celtic family tree, and I love it. Thank you!
I ❤ this video. My favorite quote is from legendary Dublin MMA couch John Kavanagh: "Win or learn". I believe the Irish is: "Bua nó foghlaim". 🇮🇪
Is maith liom sin 😊 it would probably be “buaigh” 👍🏻
"Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine" is my favorite 3:51
There is a short film in irish staring Cillian Murphy in irish called "Filleann an feall..." its on youtube, ye should watch it
Fantastic! I will indeed!
@ watch caca millis too - bit dark but enjoyable - dala an scéil - coinnigh lasta í !
What I can't wrap my head around is what's up with the three people who hit thumbs down on this? How miserable do you have to be to not enjoy a lovely young lady sharing delightful proverbs and helping us expand our Irish vocabularies? They must be jealous.
God is good but never dance in a small boat✨✨👍👍👍. Loved it
Thanks for sharing..
Keep it up wee woman! I'm from your neighbouring city of Derry and have begun learning our beautiful language, keep the lessons coming.
Lotsa good ones there. If I hafta pick only one, it’s gotta be the male goat one: the nuance combines “make the most of what you got” with “go big or go home.” Great video, much appreciated!
Good choice 💚
You are a good teacher I couldn't do it without you.
Omg I loove these! Soo much wisdom! They're all so good, but here are my favorite:
3:20 Mol an óige agus thiocfaidh sí - Praise the youth and she will come.
Encourage the youth!
3:52
Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine - It is under the shelter of others that people survive.
9:09 Ina dhiadh, a thuigtear gach beart - It’s easy to be wise after. OMG i relate 1000%
4:53 Is fearr lúbadh na briseadh - It’s better to bend than to break.
3:01 Eire ar phingin agus cá bhfuil agus an phingin ? Ireland for a penny - but where is the penny?
Cool ones:
Is geall le fleá bia go leor - Enough food is as good as a feast
Is é an dias is troime is ísle a chromán a ceann - It is the heaviest ear of corn that bends the lowest.
Is ait an mac an saol - Life is a strange place
Anail na beatha an t-athrú - Change is the breath of life
Is i ndiadh a chéile a thógtar na caisleáin - Castles are built one after the other
There's just too many to list, actually x'D No matter how long it takes me, I'm going to learn Irish. It's inspiring to see someone my age so into it =') and you've a good sense of humour as well, love those edits lol.
Haha 😂 go raibh maith agat ☺️ you are right, there are too many to choose from!!
Dia dhuit! I really love this video so much that I am going to share it with my friends! I love using idioms and I use a fat lot of them,but only in French,Spanish and English. I used to be red faced when someone asked to tell him or her a proverb in Irish! What a pity an Irishman does not know even a single Irish proverb! But now thanks to you I am in a better position!
Go raibh maith agat agus slán go fóill!😀👍🐇
🙌🏻 coinnigh leis!
Yaaaaaaas! Love from Croatia🇭🇷❤🇮🇪
This is so awesome and such a creative way to teach a language..
I also liked you review of Dualingo where you talked about the present tense ..
A good Spanish language book also stressed that learning the Past tense is more logical because more of our everyday conversation is in that tense
My great grandmother taught me "speak of the devil and he shall appear" so we never allowed to say the word devil but divel or beelzebub was OK I guess. Love your channel and work. Grá do chuid oibre.
That's not exactly what the saying meant, you say it when you were talking about someone and then you see them after. Sayings aren't meant to be taken literally.
Or "Speak of the devil and the devil will burn you"
Wonderful video!! You have the heart of a teacher. Enjoying your channel very much.
Great listening practice, thank you
Go raibh maith agat 😊
Interesting how many of these (or a version of) are still common. Also the inspiring ones were very motivational. GRMA
Wonder video, one suggestion is to go through the seanfhocal word by word and explain the translation
Loved this one! I love proverbs
Same!! and Irish ones are the best 😅
I was listening so closely! My g-grandmother had two sayings which have come down a couple of generations and, of course, are now unfortunately just gobbledygook! She must have said the same thing often enough for her granddaughters to have formed a memory but no one ever asked her what her sayings meant. I was listening for the rhythm and sounds which might reunite what we have now with such a wise and beautiful language. We do have flaithiúil which she used as a loanword in English. Best wishes.
your videos are helping me so much!! yhank you for everything!
Ilove your stuff.you make it plain to learn
It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good.
It's a saying in English, too. An old one tough.
I am a beginner at Irish ,Find your video very helpful. I think you should do a video in which y pair opposite meaning words together , I think they can be remembered this way
This is amazing, all the subtlety in the proverbs. There was a TV program many, many years ago called Banacek. The main character would end the story with an old Polish saying. “ Even though the sun is shining, the cat still has her kittens under the porch”. I’m still trying to figure that one out.
Even though everything is seemingly great, it is still wise to be prudent and careful about important things?
Cheers Missus, very good 😉
I love the song “ Cad e sin don te sin “ and was told that some of the lyrics are in Donegal or Ulster slang or idioms . Being from Donegal is possible you could make that song a video and show which parts are slang vs Gaeilge which would be used everywhere in Ireland ?
I like the stick beating someone‘s back one, because it‘s just a factual statement that can be interpreted 2 ways:
1. the victim doesn‘t make a good judge (if the stick shouldn‘t be cut)
2. it takes someone who has suffered injustice to fight back against injustice (if the stick should be cut). Like another Irishman put it, “he who suffered you to impose on him knows you”.
Anyways, I think that proverb tells us that revenge is our friend :)
I hesitate to ask but in America, the University of Notre Dame always does an Irish Proverb/Blessing. "May the road rise to meet you.......rain fall on fields.. blah blah...."
Is that in Gaelic? If so can you do a short lesson on it? Also, what is called Lord's prayer...ar n'Athair.
Thanks. Love the channel
Thanks very much for this inspiring lesson. It's a pity they are not writen down, so I could print them. But I'l keep on learning!
perfect definition..cloud, silver lining
Love this video :)
Your Videos is Great 😊 Congratulations!! Very very Good Job 👏🏼 Well Done!! Do you have a video about Irish Anthem in Irish? 😁
no I don't, but that's a great idea 😁
Gaeilge i mo chroí 😊
Outstanding!
There are three dialects of irish. This one is Ulster Gaelic and in school in Dublin we did Munster Gaelic. So the pronunciation, some vocab and grammar is different. I find Ulster dialect hard to understand. Sounds like 'kai' for 'caith' where we would say 'ka' etc.
Go raibh míle maith agat!!
Love from south Florida, USA. I have no one to practice conversation with here, as Gaeilge.
I appreciate you.
Tá fáilte romhat 😊💚 if you are able to support me on Patreon, I am going to be offering my patrons a chance to meet up (virtually) and practice Irish together 😊 www.patreon.com/myirishheart
Dia dhuit!! I think it so many to get the meaning idea, but regardless of that i'd be evolving either. The last 2 videos i can pull it off already. Go raibh maih agat, slan go fóill.😀
Tá fáilte romhat 😊
An rud nach féidi, ní féidir é. Cé chomh fíor is atá sé sin!
I heard an “Old Irish Proverb”: Many a time a man’s mouth broke his nose. Is this a true proverb? Is there a translation in Irish?
Is minic a bhris béal duine a ghaosán 👍🏻
I wish you’d list them in description or link to a pdf?
Maith thú 🙂
GRMA 💚
It's an ill wind that blows no minds :D or something like that.
What is the Irish saying for "A fools mouth invites a beating. I learned a while back but forgot it
Grma Molly, taitníonn an físeán seo go mór liom! Scríobh mé na seanfhocail ar mo nóta.
Tá fáilte romhat 😊
Neal aye thin thorn mora the hinthawn hane ( phonetic spelling)
There is no fireside like your own fireside.
Like your vid. I have more saying if you have the time.
6:00

Tá mé i mo chónaí I gcontae Dhún ná nGall ag an bomaite ach is dálta mé i mBaile Átha Cliath de gnáth . Bhí mé i mo chónaí i nDoire an bhliain seo caite mar bhí mé ag freastal ar cholaiste.
Gaeilge i mo chroí ah seans ar bith! Tá mise ag súil le cúrsa a dhéanamh in OS Magee tar éis an samhradh ach níl a fhios agam cad é tharlóidh maidir leis an víreas
Tá súil agam go mbeadh tú abalta é a dhéanamh! Rinne mo dháid staidear ar an Ghaeilge in ollscoil Magee agus bhain sé sult as!
