[spadinajack]

Is "Irish" Gaelic and "Welsh" Gaelic much different ? And Jess, YOU are STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL !!!

[Aetius114]

@spadinajack I think that they're as different from each other as English is from German. Those two languages belong to the same group - Germanic. Irish Gaelic and Welsh belong to the same language group too - called Celtic.

[aronboylloyd123]

sirry i didnt quite catch that..

[fightinandirish]

when it came to irish.she asked sumthing but im not sure what srry.

[fightinandirish]

shes sayin that she thinks the dude who made the other vid was skilled........

[Hadokenmaster]

Can you please add english subtitles?

[Ulfius254]

o.O omg I didn't get one word! but it was amazing!

[wqpeb]

sweet. thanks!

subtitles would be nice, but still sweet anyway.

[moparmonster1965]

I must have missed the English subtitles. No, wait, there weren't any.

[KochuJang]

i wonder if there are still parts of Ireland were gaelic is spoken as a first language.

[alanaghT]

Yes the west mainly but Rathcairn in Co.meath does to!! Some other places are Goabh Dobhair in Donegal and somewhere in Waterford or wexford!!

[KochuJang]

Thanks, i'll have to check those places out. I would love to hear gaelic spoken by a native speaker ( and any other celtic language for that matter) before they're gone forever. =(

[idiomasaur]

There are plenty of celtic languages that aren't gonna be gone forever. Like basque and Welsh.

[KochuJang]

plenty eh? =\ . Anyways, I guess my point was more that there won't be any native speakers left despite those who take up an interest in them as a 2nd. Also, it's interesting that you classified Basque as Celtic when I've been told by linguistics professors that the language is not part of the IE family: like Sami. Are you perhaps privy to some sort of comparative study that shows evidence that it has Celtic origins?

[ALFRABEIRA]

basque is not celtic basque the unique iberian language that survived the roman invasions.

[samjo27]

there are several small gaelteach areas left in ireland... one in west cork, a few in kerry and claire.

[herculiez25r]

Unlike most people who speak Gaelige, i speak it as a first language, most pople learn it in shcool, with the outcome that it does not have a nice flow to it and most of the pronounciation is wrong... and the words used are often from a standartised Gaelic, in books e.c.t.... never ever going to be the same, as you learn it from your parents or your grandparents, who speak it all their lives and never learned it like most people...

[KochuJang]

i agree sir. =) You have been given a rare gift indeed to have such a proficiency. The trick will be convincing your children of the importance of keeping an interest in and retaining their abilities in an English speaking world. You might even do well to record yourself for posterity; Songs, idiomatic expressions, aphorisms, and well, just about everything you know =P

[NotaBeag]

...ar a laghad tá siad a'dhéanamh a dhícheall a mhac!

[grobo11]

Do you find it easy to understand Scottish Gealic seeing as Irish Gaelic is your first language. Or is it completley different yet looks and soubds the same from someone who knows nweither of the two. Like Japenese and Chinese.

[fightinandirish]

apparently its a lot like irish except sum words contain different letters

[mrfloppyjoe]

scottish and irish is nearly indentical. its the same difference as old english and modern english would have

[grobo11]

Thats's a pretty big difference.

[todesesser]

... Old English and Modern English are far from "nearly identical".

[mrfloppyjoe]

well you'd really have to be a complete gobshite if you didnt understand old english. you'd get the idea like. i mean i understood othello and the merchant of venice pretty well!

[Christieaux]

That means theyre not nearly identical.

Nu we sculan herian, heofonrices weard.

How is that like ME?? =P

[bumbro07]

@mrfloppyjoe Old English and Modern english are almost completely unintelligible with each other. They don't even sound like the same language.

Many of the roots are the same, but thanks to the Great Vowel Shift, If I were to go back in time to speak with Aelfred the Great, He'd probably think my language a descendant of Old French rather than his own language.

[mrfloppyjoe]

well i understood my shakespere just fine thank you very much

[sonya1alex2]

when we say 'old english' we don't mean english in the 1600's we're on about anglo-saxon which is totally different to shakespeare. if you go back even further, breton which is a brythonic language like welsh, scottish, cornish and irish, was spoken here. a form of it is still spoken in france today.

[ryanboyd72yahoo]

the language spoken wasn't breton, it was actuall brythonic. breton came way later. good to know that there's people out there who know stuff like that besides me though. cheers

[mrfloppyjoe]

@bumbro07  ceart go leor

dear snert2k8, you are the reason the english are horrifically made fun of throughout the world. You are just another joke of mockery. Maybe if you'd pull your head out of your ass and not be so stuck up and humble yourself. Americans are better than you, you fucking louse. get a life instead of making a fool of yourself on youtube.

the language sounds so cool but i have no idea what you're saying! :-\ can you put a translation or something in your description?

i only know one word for sure: agus (and). Yeah, i know. Wow.

[bogglesgreat]

Go raibh maith agat --- thank you

dia duit --- hello

slan go foill --- goodbye for now.

im just learning but i think thats right, so now you know 3 more :D

[schoenesmaedchen]

lol, thanks! can you provide a phonetic transliteration so that i can pronounce them? lol!! i can't pronounce Irish....

[bogglesgreat]

yeah sure, i actually learned them from this site called oneminutelanguages (Dot) com, basically one minute lessons that teach the basics, its dead good.

hello - gia ditch  (the g in gia is pronounced like the letter G)

thank you - gorevmahagoat

goodbye for now - slan g'fall (g is pronounced as it would be in the phonetic alphabet)

goodbye - slan

[AskSOmeoneelse]

To people who see this video, English may be more international - but if we go back in time a bit and forget that England has had a worldwide influence, why is English better than Irish. It isn't! If anything Irish is more pure, it might be hard for English speakiers to learn, but again if there were people around today who spoke irish but no english they'd find english hard due to the different language structure and spelling.

[echoingheads]

umhum.... then why should welsh be left in the dark if you feel that irish should be the mot over powering language?

or even Scottish for that matter

and why would I want to learn this over those languages?

[AskSOmeoneelse]

never really done much gaeilge, can speak a bit of gaidhlig thou, I understand the two are very similar. wouldn't mind learning more gaeilge

[hainlighe]

[isolabella88]

I'd go out of my way to teach the younger generation Gaelic. In the U.S. we've lost a lot of the indigenous languages to English, please let's not make Gaelic one of the extinct Europen tongues. Ireland does to an extent, Scotland does nothing at all. Wales should be an example. If i lived there I'd force my children to learn Gaelic (like i force them to learn Spanish here)if for nothing it's their heritage. Please keep your national language alive. It'll make the world better.

[AskSOmeoneelse]

albann gu brath

[CelticWarrior1983]

, i like thinking about the past and i have been to gaeltachts and i tell ya those people are eal irish they think and feel differently because they speak irish, i just want to de anglicise our land not to banish english as i agree economically speaking it has ita part to play in the modern world not just in Eireann!

[kompantera]

Tá sé seo go hiontach! ba ceart go mbeadh níos mó béim ar an nGaeilge. tá a lán grá agam don teanga agus tá mé ag déanamh staidéar ar an nGaeilge don céim . má tá aon smaointe ag aon duine chun an Gaeilge a chur chun cinn is féidir liom cabhrú :)

[CelticWarrior1983]

as a poeple we need 2 realise what we have lost and realise that we are now in a position 2 reverse the changes forced upon us, irish is not dead there are 8 gaeltachts in Eireann, and to the people who dont care bout the restoration of our language well if u love english so much go bac 2 ur mother land Sasana n stay there!

[FunkyBarSteward]

Fair Play Pretty Cailin (anti Fada) lol...

[jhm321]

This is great for those of us who don't know any Irish. Thanks and keep adding videos.

[kandambelkum]

How is it possible that a nation forgets it's language?? I mean now of the problem of "proud Irish" nation? All the nations speak their private languages, except Irish...Irish people are proud in English... I laugh at it!!!

[stephenlavery]

In the 17th centuary the British government prohibited Irish and it was no longer taught in schools in Ireland. Also the famine killed off and forced much of the population to emigrate to countrys such as America where they had to learn English. The Irish people were forced out of the Irish language. When ROI gained it's indepedence there was an immediate revival plan in the language. But now in the 21st centuary it would be near impossible to bring back the Irish language, a pity really.

[xirishmagicx]

Is minic a bhris béal duine a shrón. Look at that silly one.

[fuckapotomis]

[tigeress407]

if u call ireland eire u r not irish over here we call it ireland , i mean jaysus who says eire *coff AMERICAN coff*

[YueTheCutie]

lol its funny when people assume it's called eire. Just us Ireland.

[CelticWarrior1983]

u fool our country is not called ireland, that is the language of our old master our land is called Eireann

[RottingYoda]

will ya get off with that bollox.go back fucking far enough and your a feckin' monkey!we speak english, get over it

[CelticWarrior1983]

proud 2 speak english u sound, u seemed 2 have embraced english as if it is your own, u sound like a dub, 2ndly there are still several irish speaking areea in eireann not jus connemara or donegal there are others u speak english and love it but there are others that dont u shud look in the mirror n think y dont i care about my own language i feel sorry 4 u "mate"

[RottingYoda]

i dont love english and infact at one point i was near fluent at irish. i love irish fine but i dont blind myself to the fact that we're far better off in a worldly sense for speaking english...it is after all the most spoken language in the western world!and you can leave your "mate" bullshit at the door if thats theres your attempt at a wittisism... such bitter people out there

[CelticWarrior1983]

having english is fine as a 2nd language just as germans french scandinavian have it as a 2nd language but they use it 4 the world of economics ie work, i have a masters n economics so please dont tell me that english is some sort of guarantee of economic prosperity or some barrier to economic downturn and recession, also dont kid yourself that speaking english wins jobs as south asia has proved its cost effective labour and a skilled workforce, im not bitter iam a romantic

[lombaxsecret]

á WOW! i just guessed! its ctrl and alt ^^ go me áéíóú :D coolio Cad is ainm duit?

[Thuglordrpt]

jesus!!!! i wish i was good as you!!!! lol i can write loads of irish but i cant say it fluently!!!! fair dues to ya for learnin it all...was irish your first languge??? or did you just go to alot of irish summer schools lol

[zimbalore]

Is it "Gaeilge" or "Gaelige"?

[lombaxsecret]

gaeilge ^^ just think aeiou nd take d aei lolz dats how i rmmbr

[everheart66]

Hearing gaeilge puts shivers along my spine, a smile on my face and a tear in my eye... and it's doing the same to many many dutch (like me) people that I met (as well as other nationalities). It resonates with something very very deep inside. Maybe because great part of our ancestors were Celts too. Your language is a precious treasure, thnxs for sharing it Jesjes! You speak it very beautifully!

[Jesjes1]

Thanks. :)

[gazzob123]

ich bin irische aber ich wohne in deutschland. slipknot till i die!

My Mum has Gaelic signs all over the house lol so i do wonder about the language ^_^

One is - Caed mille failte...i honestly dont know what that means xD

[piggeh]

It means 'A hundred thousand welcomes'.

[sambongo91]

maith thú! ní mhinic a chasaim ar rudaí as Gaeilge ar YouTube. An gaeilge ar 'video' ná 'fístéip'!

[Jesjes1]

Sin é an gaeilge ar "video tape". Úsáidtear ná dhá cinn ar aon cuma.

[sambongo91]

ceart go leor... cheap mé nach raibh a fhios agat mar deireann tú 'VIDEO' sa fís. ar aon os is maith an rud é go bhfuil spéis agat sa teanga agus tú i do dhéagóir! Táim sé bliana déag d'aois agus tá an-spéis agam ann chomh maith. an bhfuil aithne agat ar suíomhanna gréasáin suimiúl trí mheán an Gaeilge nó rud mar sin?

[maisooon2bakoush]

ta do gaeilge go hiontach!! agus mo mo gaeilge uafasach agus bhi me i cuigu bhliain! ardleibheal!!!

[celticgirl08]

wow!! O_o what was that all about? what happened with the subtitles?

I want to learn Irish... *sigh*

excellent job! :-)

[BocaGrapefruit]

is this language hard to learn?

[Jesjes1]

Like any language, it is not easy. it is all about how much you can put into learning it.

[jimisback]

I wish I had such a beautiful girl to teach me the gaelic.

[MidnightFantasy1]

I know that 50% of the west speaks irish.Which means like 25% of Ireland.I accuatly am fluent in gaelic, i never learnt english until i was 6 my nan went into a shop n was speaking irish.and they had no idea what she ws on about n she got kinda of moppy.i even saw a tear in her 76yo eyes, she is really irishy, n seeing her love dieing must have been hard for her.what i wanna say is =] thnx for being fluent,i showed ur video to nan it brought a smle to her eyes, a n glint of faith

[Jesjes1]

Aww, thats such a nice story :) thanks for sharing it...!!

[xxfoulerxx]

yoo hav really nce fluent irish! and its really easy 2 understand 4 a change!! fair play duit! ...X

[lifesapprentice]

Showing off how well you know Irish to nations of people who don't care... i ask you why. But not really... cause i don't care. Slán.

[noromaru]

You cared enough to watch the video AND comment.

[mianersiyok]

wow, your profile says you are from ireland...

don't you respect the fact that people are still willing to learn Gaeilge? I respect the fact and I live all the way in California where I hear several different languages spoken daily. In public, on local tv even (not cable or satalite). It's like being in Babel. I don't think shes showing off. SHes using Youtube as a tool to extend her knowledge to others. Sounds like your a bit jealous but thats just my opinion.

[mianersiyok]

I respect every language and anyone who is undergoing the process of learning more than one langauge. I myself am of part Irish desent and wish to learn Gaeilge,as well as any other language spoken by the people whom which I desended from which includes Japanese, Dutch, German, Cherokee, Inuktitut, and Gaeilge. I'm also part English and Scottish but I already know english. I'd also like to learn French and Korean which have no relevence to my ancestors.

[animalunaris]

There's always Gaidhlig if your ancestors were Highlanders..

[mianersiyok]

for now I'm working on Japanese and German, and occasionallytrying to learn Gaeilge and Inuktitut.

[bowler866]

Ok, I am jealous of the two of you, or any of you speaking this language. In the US we barely learn english. To listen to you talk and know that my great-grandmother spoke this language, and to know that I don't have any idea what any of it means, really makes me sad.

[EliteIreland]

I don't know if you realise how small a majority of people living in Ireland would understand half of the sentences said in this video. Heck, it'd take me at least 3 viewings with a notepad to make out most of it.

Be jealous, but know that you're not alone.

[MrLeN76]

lol @ barely learn english :)

[PaulBuffalo]

Lovely, Can I get you to read some of Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill's poems? In Irish first and then English maybe?

[Jesjes1]

Thats a good suggestion.

I dont have any irish poem books, except some really old irish ones.

If you can point me in the direction of some I'd be grateful!

[PaulBuffalo]

Ok, Pharaoh's Daughter (1990), The Astrakhan Cloak (1992), and The Water Horse (1999. Do you have a library nearby? Will they do inter-library loans? She also reads on a Lanaan Foundation vhs tape.

[Jesjes1]

hey, thnaks.

Loads of libraries. I'll see what I can do.

Cant promise anything soon, as work etc, but will definitely look into it

[ashhere]
