I was born in Ireland and was adopted out at 5years of age. My adopted mother, who is irish, (her parents were born in Ireland) would not allow Irish spoken in the house. I so enjoy listening to it.
@Darlingxavenue - thanks, we love her too. She's just suffered two fractured ribs in a car crash here in the East End - poor old thing. She's nearly 86 too.
I see you are a stand up comedian, we'll have to come and see one of your shows!! You should contact the Laughter Factory people in Dubai, they regularly run stand up comedian shows out there!
this women is my favorite she's so awesome and she speaks so quickly it's amazing i wish she could teach me gealic.on a diffrent note she's just too cute:)
*kissesdear* i have ancesstors in skype i belive idk but, my last name is nicholson
What a cool language. I'd like to learn it, even though I'm not Irish. She has a beautiful accent as well. :)
Also, do Irish people all call their grandmothers 'Nan'? Where I'm from, Newfoundland, everyone says 'Nan', as opposed to 'Grandma' in the rest of Canada. I suppose it comes from the Irish, then, since we had so many immigrants.
wow either this lady hasnt spoken any irish in a LONG time or she has a REALLY strong north/west accent. It sounds hardly anything like how we say it in Munster! good for her though :) I love youtube-savvy grannies :)
I would just like to know who the hell could "thumbs down" the Lord's prayer - regardless of the language? (Maybe some Brits)? I don't speak Gaelic, but just the sound of it is magical and melodious; it's fantastic that the language is still alive.
My dad is a dental tech and mentions when anyone has badly fitting dentures to the point that I notice. Her dentures don't fit well, she has to keep pressing them back in and has to keep them close so they don't shift or fall out.
It's my wonderful Donegal mum. But your comment about the language is a little off - yes if you are speaking in Irish the language is Gaelic. If you are speaking in English as we are here, then it is called Irish.
Indeed it is the same mistake many English make when referring to Ireland as Eire. The name of Ireland in Irish is Eire, in English it is Ireland.
Sanglain, listen mate, why not just accept you have got it wrong. Your comment in Irish is not even coherent - what has living in England and speaking English got to do with anything? If you are going to say it, say it in English!
I appreciate it that you like my old Mum speaking Irish and it is good to see what I say supported by ScabbyHole99 too.
I have approved your comment on hear. It illustrates a number of things, one that you have no respect for the Our Father or my Irish mum by saying what you have said, secondly, that you typify the reaction of someone who has lost an argument badly and as a result are a bad, no very bad loser, thirdly - you are a twat also.
Can I suggest you go back to your worrying obessesion with videos of horses - I guess they must give you some satisfaction :)
@dr1141tube My dad always called it Irish. And he called Scottish Gaelic Scottish. Not that wikipedia is the best source, but Gaeilge seems to be the preferred term if we're being pedantic.
@sainglain The vast majority of people in Ireland call the language 'Irish' - that is it's official name in English. Some people say 'Gaelic' so as not to confuse people like you. However, go to any book store and look for a 'Gaelic' dictionary, and you'll end up with the wrong language! An Irish dictionary is what you'd need.
I am an American with of Irish decent. I was wondering if everyone here in this room would mind helping it out. I want to learn Gaelic but for where I live its pretty much hopeless. Slainte Mhath.
Hi, in the Church of Ireland [Anglican] it is said that way , I'll dig it out and post it later, also there are different versions in Ulster Connacht & Munster. How about Doirelondain,I'm only coddin.
Thanks for the comment PakehaKiritea. I note your focus on Maori rights. One of the last things my Dad said before he passed away in hospital was that he could see the face of a tattooed Maori warrior looking down at him from across the hospital room.
Always had a fondness for Maori people as a result so your comments are very welcome.
@Fiach2008 To be honest I couldn't give a fuck. And somehow I don't think the Scottish, the Welsh or the Northern Irish (also British) would give a fuck either.
I appreciate the comments separatesix - guessing your roots are from the other "tradition" :) If they are originally Scottish, then the Our Father in Gaelic would certainly be part of your tradition too as the language was widely spoken across that great Celtic fringe - it's a shame the Troubles meant one "side" (not the best word) didn't feel the Irish or Gaelic was their tradition too. Exploitation by the Establishment was the problem - pitting working class against working class!
Two comments mate - as a Londoner, I don't like having my city's name appended to the front of anyone else's County or City. I would not want to be living in DerryLondon!
You are lucky this revisionist naming wasn't taking place nowadays because you might be living in Co CocaColaderry and in 10yrs time when the contract was over, you'd be in Co Pepsiderry or Co BancoSantanderderry. :)
Secondly, its County Derry no matter what sort of revisionist
actually, that last bit is where you're wrong. To be "official" It's the county of Londonderry and the City of Derry, though most people, if they don't have strong political opinions would just choose the easy option, Derry, whilst some try to mediate by collaborating both into L'Derry and in fact in new history books it's written as "Derry/Londonderry". It's a crazy world we live in...
Thanks for the comments. I agree that "officially" it may be County Londonderry but that doesn't change the fact that most people with a Nationalist / Irish perspective only recognise it by its original name - County Derry. If Bombay is now Mumbai, if Peking is now Beijing, then Londonderry is now Derry
Of course, i totally agree with you, I wasn't arguing the fact. I call it Derry myself, saying I live in that county, but I was just explaining to those who didn't know what to call it the "correct" and "official" term, but to be honest, nobody really cares that much. If they do they're a fool. In fact, its only in the North that its "officially" called Londonderry, in the Republic, the roadsigns all read "Derry" and nobody argues that. My point - who cares? Call it what you like!
If you can spare some money and want to learn irish gaelic, check out rosetta stone =) It's helped me learn a lot, including the irish basics (I'm learning that now)
Good bless your mum/grandma. What a beautiful, gentle lady. It was like watching my own beloved mom. Blessings upon you and yours for posting this. My mom is Irish and my dad is Greek and in typical American fashion I speak neither.
teachill - I find it odd that you were taught 'for thyne is the kingdom the power and the glory' ending in Irish, as its not typically used. My our father ends mar mhaithimid dár bhféichiúnaithe féin.
Agus ná lig sinn i gcathú,
