[MrJoshuaPadraig]

He's pronouncing Dia Duit wrong.

Don't pronounce it with a D it's pronounced "jee-ah gwit"

[dkmedia2008]

@MrJoshuaPadraig Pronounciation depends on dialect, its pronounced "jee-ah gwit" in some areas, and "dee-ah gwit" in others

[MrJoshuaPadraig]

@dkmedia2008

Cá bhfuil tú i do chónaí?

Always thought all three dialects Munster,Connaugh & Ulster pronounce it with the "Jee-ah". I know the Ulster dialect tends be slightly different.

I don't speak Irish, not even a little of it, but I think it should come back in Ireland. I want to live there when I grow up, it's a beautiful country and a beautiful language. I hope I'm able to pick it up, thanks so much for uploading this :)

[fifiree]

@AlanS181824 Hi, thank you :) The sentence is" Hi, Im very glad to see you again. I have to say I really miss your amazing lessons"

[sawahiish]

[mozartinaa]

@sawahiish Thank you! :) I still need the translation :))

[sawahiish]

[BridgetHennessey]

I'm half irish but born in America, and I can't help but to say I wish I had an irish accent! :D

[thomaswhite2]

thumps up for all the irish coming here to learn their native language =)

[MrLukecov]

Theres no such thing as an Irish language, Gaelige is a French language spoken in Ireland...that's a fact. Any true Irish language disappeared centuries ago.

[clunef100]

you should check out GlobalGaeilge

very good website for teaching irish one-to-one with a teacher via Skype

i found it very helpful

go raibh maith agaibh ó Cheanada

[musicman45805]

Everyone has their own duty in bringing back Irish as a community langauge spoken throughout Ireland. Make it happen.

[N1k1mon]

@musicman45805 Count me in. The Irish heritage is one of the greatest (I would say greatest, heh) there is, was or ever will be, its time we took it seriously and revived it. We can respect all races, colors and creeds while maintaining our own identity, we've been told for too long that this is somehow a crime. Its the beauty of each culture that commands respect from foreigners and travelers, it does not divide but brings people together through interest and wonder.

Slainte

[samopdrift]

@musicman45805 I am not Irish but doing my best. It is a beautiful culture, a beautiful language, deserves to be kept alive and kicking!

[SenoraAmigo]

@samopdrift I agree!X

[Roflmaoads]

Ulster Irish? Pronunciation is wrong.

[cakejamcake]

[tophrocks234]

Thank you!!! I have to learn this for my family and have been having such trouble/

This really helped!!!

Go 100% Irish girls!!

[onlinehintsandtips]

I launched a new Learn Irish Course for anyone interested in learning on my channel. Daily videos on different parts e.g Day 1: House Location/ House Type.

Thanks

[dimgwalltameiben]

The irish for "how are you?" is very similar to Spanish "Como estas tú?". Strange, as the Romans never set foot on Ireland! can someone explain?! Also, how come Irish and Gaelic are nothing whatsoever like Welsh, yet these countries often see each other as having a common link

[AlmightyScubba]

@dimgwalltameiben

...yeah they did. St Patrick was of Roman decent. Romans brought red hair to ireland.

[OpusFSMi]

@dimgwalltameiben: Good Qs. Romans got what they wanted from ordinary trade with Ireland, so they didn't bother trying to invade. Also, they didn't like being posted to the foggy wet weather of Britain and Ireland so weren't that bothered about extending their conquests.

Irish, Gaelic, and Welsh are all part of the Celtic family of languages, but Welsh and the first two are on different branches - as different, say, as Dutch and Swedish. Scottish and Irish Gaelic are closely related IIRC?

[Deasy002]

Níl a fhios agam fiú na héireann, tá mé díreach tar éis an aistritheora a úsáid

[JzZtv]

im irish and im from dublin.I spoke english my whole life.But i dont want to learn Irish language its so boring and too hard to follow.I dont understand why in school we cant just say " I Dont want to learn this". Why not say that?

[morrel2]

@JzZtv  You're a fucking amadán

[JzZtv]

@morrel2 thx 4 your shitty comment :D

[morrel2]

@JzZtv No problem. Funny you say you spoke English your whole life, because you still write it as if you're still learning it. I have nothing against English, but have a bit of pride in your national language, it is still quite widely used you know.

[JzZtv]

@morrel2 ha dumbass i said i spoke it my whole life.thats writing not speaking.And by the way thx is how i write thanks just short.So yea learn how to get your facts straight.

[imhamstercrazee]

im not irish but im just interested. but i cant pronounce :/

[2008karenzoie]

Is fuath Liom Gaelige >:-(

[Mar1vs]

Ba mhaith liom a fhoghlaim gaeilge!! Fuaimeanna sé sin go hálainn!

[Chealder]

Do you also have a lesson where you teach us how to pronounce each letter from the alphabet individually? I want to teach myself a little bit of Irish and I guess learning how to pronounce the letters would be the best start, but I'll have to hear it rather than read how to pronounce it.

[2008karenzoie]

@Chealder Its the same as the english alphabet

[FredrikHeby]

What song is is at the beginning?

[SnarkedGirl]

Can you tell us how do Irish constructs sentences and what do words mean? For example I guess "go" and "maith" are important elements in the sentence "I'm good thank you" but If I don't understand how to use them the only thing I can do is to learn by heart :)

[MCDEVVOMAN]

*ta me go maith agus tu fein go raibh maith agat

[Legolanore]

I'm a Dutch girl, learning Irish and this is really helpfull! Thank you!

[SpokenVerse]

I'm Irish, but don't know my Erse from my Elbow

[nessy17142]

irish people drinking

[GetzuCero]

this language sounds badass keep it alive!!!!!!!

[omfgthisisaname]

Hmm the Irish language is beautiful, but I live in Australia and there is no real point in me learning the language. My grandmother can speak a little Irish (she is Irish).

[boabdildo]

check these words spanish - gaelic obra - obair , lunes - de luán , alma - amna , I have found many more these words by the way have the exact same meaning

[nicolevins]

The majority of us in schools can barley do it (in ireland )

[wizzard400]

i'm australian but my grandparents (both sides) are irish and i've always wanted to learn more about my heritage, thanks for this vid!

[silviajanette]

The "conas atá tú" resembles very much the Portuguese language (which is the one I speak ,mainly), and we could say "como estás tú? "....amazing that similarity! (well, so far only this sentence...;D)

[ManoneDanone]

Thank you very much !

I'm french & I'll go in Ireland with my highschool next month. It's useful, and it could be very funny :)

Merci !

[KaulitzLuver483]

@ManoneDanone Do you like Ireland? :)

[ManoneDanone]

@KaulitzLuver483

I just see your question, sorry. Yeah I love this country it's simply... magic ! :) Really ! I would like to do an Erasmus in Ireland, but it's very complicated so I don't know...

By the way people are lovely: I was in 2 different family in Ireland and all of them were very thoughtful and nice. So... yeah, I think only positive things about Ireland :D

[KaulitzLuver483]

@ManoneDanone Go raibh maith agat :)

[aldrickbarber35]

I only "Conas ata tu."

[kart84trak]

thanks for starting to put them up here!!! Keep up the good work!

[KevJJ888]

Wish you'd put up the phonetic pronunciation too.

[Jane1620]

I know,that would help a great deal.

[dkmedia2008]

Good idea, i'll implement on the next video.

[Irishroyality36]

you are all right...Irish is not spoken in most of Ireland due to the fact that when the English came and took over it was FORBIDDEN!!! so I say keep it alive!

[wizzard400]

@Irishroyality36 don't they teach irish in schools in ireland as a second language?

[dkmedia2008]

@wizzard400 ya, Irish is taught in schools but really badly. Most come out of school barely able to speak the language let alone understand it. For some strange reason more emphasis is put on learning poetry than on speaking the language. That is changing now with the oral exam coming in for the Junior Cert, and an increase in the percentage the oral is worth for the leaving cert.

[MCDEVVOMAN]

@dkmedia2008 WHAT? an oral for the junior cert?? what the fuck is wrong with this country..??? IRISH IS A SHIT LANGUAGE!!! if im to finish school and do the leaving im not doing irish.. its a lod of bollox!

[owainmeurig]

@MCDEVVOMAN If your going to do the leaving you should learn a language first, english?

[MrViola94]

@dkmedia2008 which is sad because it's still the official language.

[Irishroyality36]

@wizzard400 it is taught but dkmedia2008 is right, very poorly taught!!

[omfgthisisaname]

@Irishroyality36 Can you speak Irish m'dear? (:

I agree with you by the way, It is a shame to loose the language, it is beautiful.I am from Australia, so there is no point in learning it, but still :)

[Irishroyality36]

@omfgthisisaname Tá féidir liom labhairt na Gaeilge! < yes I can speak Irish : )! and thank you!! : )

[weather22able]

@Irishroyality36 if i am correct Irish people were forbidden from speaking Gaelic and dancing Irish dance, and they even had to change their names to make them sound less gaelic!

[Irishroyality36]

@weather22able yes that is correct sadly but yes!

[bheadh]

@Irishroyality36 Ceart go leor! Le cuidiu De. Ta me i mo chonai sa Meiricea agus taim a foghlaim me fein..gan muinteoir. Ta se deacair ach taim a ghra ar teanga fein. Go raibh maith agat! Slan agus beannacht.

[elperretebueno]

@Irishroyality36 irish people suffered a genocide (and not only in the cultural sense!!!)

[EzofRa]

alteye ya mad eejit, I'm from London but live in Dublin and no-on uses Irish here, nor will they be offended if you don't try and use it!

[umcsk8]

ya!no one uses it ur rite!bt i tink we shud still keep da language alive!

[lolawolf12345]

@epicDESU4LULZ Yes but some Irish people like me would like try and learn irish becouse its our own language it wouldnt hurt to try.

[missmajestypotter]

well done; you just made yourself a potential paedophiliac target

[tootieroll69]

lol

[bamper12]

Tiocfaidh ar la

[alteye1]

Oh man, I'd so much love to learn Irish Gaelic. Fantastic language. I'm making plans of moving to Dublin but first, I feel obligated to learn some basic Gaelic. Otherwise it would be rude to come as English. Good work here, keep it up, greetz from Sheffield.

[hitbot5]

it wudny be rude te dome te ireland speakin english, just if ye go near da " irish speaking " areas, and by da wayy, i'm a donegal shamm so dat explains da accent awrtt ladd

[KaulitzLuver483]

Dia Duit mo chara :)

[HomleandSecurity]

I'm not English. I'm Christian.

[imploderx]

i was born with an irish accent

[Candyluvre20]

*bangs her head on the taple* Why does Irish have to be so confusing. I should say that Irish should be one of the hardest languages to learn.

[KaulitzLuver483]

Really? :D I never thought our language was that hard :D

[Candyluvre20]

It is to those who are trying to self-learn it. Heck, it went better with Japanese than Irish.

[KaulitzLuver483]

Huh xD

Sorry, I know it's hard to self-learn cause I'm doing it with russian and german sort of but Irish always seemed an easy language sometimes xD

[Candyluvre20]

I just have a hard time with it for some reason. Funnily enough, I sound sometimes like a Scottish person but most of the time I sound like a Brit and I know of a man that talks like a Scott without trying and he's Icelandic. No roots to Scotland as far as I know.

[KaulitzLuver483]

@Candyluvre20 Nice lol

[Candyluvre20]

And I've never been to Britain or Ireland before. I do love the folk music though.

[N3W311luvzLUFC]

I'm Irish... i live in Scotland and most people think i am Scottish because my accent has changed slightly since we moved. but when i go back its as strong as ever again!

[Candyluvre20]

I'm a pure bred Icelander. That's all.

[DancerWithAttitude10]

shut the fuck up HomleandSecurity i have nothing against the english.you shut up about the Irish we are a proud country with a rich culture and some shit from ur face isnt gonna change dat

[BarbieGirls1011]

Dia Duit! I'm Irish. Good video. Slàn leat!

[DancerWithAttitude10]

go hiontach!!!

one day ii hope 2 speak irish fluently, (iym in first year at the mmoment) after all we still would be if it weren't for the english(not sayin the english people now, ii mean the english people from in the

1700's.)

[Musicmatttheonly1]

good man

[PinksHugeFan1]

Go raibh maith agat as seo a vid, táim Gaeilge mar sin tá sé maith go mbeadh a fhios go bhfuil eile cabhrú le daoine a fhoghlaim na teanga.

[HomleandSecurity]

Shouldn't this be called "IRA babble"?

[HomleandSecurity]

Go ahead, bomb the BBC again you cunts.

[maryismyusername]

where abouts in ireland did you go? the back arse of no where?!? im irish and i speak english fluently and so does every one else. who ever you were talking to spoke irish to piss you off or make you go away

[Taxidoors1]

@maryismyusername prob from a person from 1 of a few of the an Gaeltachtaí

[Valvallaria]

@maryismyusername So what? I support EVERYONE who can speak Gaelige in Ireland to do so - a) to piss off the arrogant englishspeakers (only the arrogant ones) who forgot their own language - and rather use an imposed language while looking down on those who actually keep the real culture alive and b) people who speak 2 languages are far superior in things of brains than people who only speak one - it's prooven by science that it also delays illnesses like dementia.

[jtfles]

@Valvallaria i speak english over irish because it is an easier medium for which to communicate.

i speak irish whenever i am in the presence of irish speakers,generally i reserve it for groups of irish speakers as i find it unfair and ignorant to speak irish in front of people who do not understand irish, it feels like whispering in front of people and i am an anxious person so i feel like i am being unmannerly in doing so.i am proud to speak irish but not proud to be irish as it is not a skill.

[Valvallaria]

@jtfles ignorant..? on the conmtrary. It's ignorant to live in ireland and NOT be able to speak irish.

[tristramshorter]

@jtfles I´m english, but I´ve always lived outside an english speaking country, and my wife does not speak english. I speak to my children in english almost always, whether or not people around understand it. It makes me feel bad, but most people understand that if I didn´t, my children would not be able to speak their father´s language. I say: speak irish as much as you can, maybe it will be an incentive for non irish speakers to learn the language.

[irishpride527]

@jtfles I don't see how it could be considered rude to speak Irish to those in your present company who speak it, even if non-speakers are in the same room. I'm an American from Texas, and most native Mexicans/Mexican-Americans, and other Spanish-speakers here generally have no qualms about using Spanish in mixed company or in public. If it's widely thought rude to do so in Ireland (?), that's one thing, but I do know it's usually accepted here. :-)

[ziamhie]

ní maith liom é.

[eimeare07]

cén fath?

[TheInfinityEffect]

People in Ireland speak English mainly

[jaboalable]

not in galway realy

[hitbot5]

ayee but if ye come te da irish speaking areas like donegal and galway, den ye wud hear our language, i blame da british for forcing us te speak english back in da plantations, so fukin cruel sirr!!

[umcsk8]

yeah!wooooo

[musicnarts22]

Thank you :) This is nice. I know some phrases already and rules for pronunciation.. so I am saying it before you are and checking if it's right. I use a slightly different dialect. But it's bery helpful!

[IrishGaeilge]

Bulaí fir!

[AtheistChase]

You're only teaching phrases.

[bhangrastan]

it's handy, but you sound a bit depressed about it all

[crazzygirl100]

God this goes so fast!

[Patriik23]

wtf

[UncleFesterFrump]

Is this Gaelic Irish?

[kelkel14311]

well Gaelic is actually what we call Scottish,Irish welsh,Manx-(isle of man) all together but Gaeilge is Irish by its self. that's what we call Irish in Ireland

[hartejoseph]

no gealic is just irish and scots gallic,but welsh,cornish and breton is celtic while manx would be a mixture of the 2 and a bit of scandinavian.Cause of the Vickings.

[maryismyusername]

yes, gealic is irish

[sarpkaya92]

Can conan o'brien talks this language?

[Irishking750]

conan speaks gaelic maybe. this is gaeilge

[PakehaKiritea]

A race of people called the Milesians (the tribe of the king of Mil) invaded ireland circs 500 B.C

They came from the Basque region.

They have discovered that alot of people of the West of Ireland share the same genetic markers in high ratios with the Basque people compared to other western Europeans.

[asadath]

Thats interesting info. I am curious about the Irish. It all started with reading "Angela's ashes".

Any commonly available books you can recommend?

[brigidmoon]

I was over in Ireland earlier this year for 10 weeks for an internship. The people I lived with helped my learn a bit of Irish and this has really helped me remember what they taught me.

[sakurasfire]

Wow this is really helpful! Thanks a lot!

[dkmedia2008]

go raibh maith agat, ta failte romhat!

[Neoreina]

hum ....Conas atá tú sounds like Spanish version of como estas tu?

[Armoredavian]

I see similarities too. I hate that, there was a war in the past from what I read and the Spanish (or Portuguese) who killed 3 Irish kings and ruled most of Ireland. I hate it all because when you try to research your ancestral roots, you discover everything was mostly distorted by other cultures. That is why the things are similar and finding the true Irish religion is lost. *sighs*

[sabradan]

The true Irish religion is Celtic Paganism.

[Atomic440]

I really want to learn Irish through the internet, but I want to learn Ulster Irish, because I'm from Belfast. I couldn't go "Conas atá tú?" to someone back home. They'd laugh. It's "Cad é mar atá tú?"

And things like "Dia duit" are pronounced like "dee-ah kwit" in Leinster, but "jee-ah ditch" in Ulster.

:(

I need to go back home and learn it. lol

[nallyterrace]

Stick with the Ulster Irish.....

[xtremlyrandomgirl]

dia duit means 'god be with you' and dia is muire duit means 'god and mary be with you'

[dkmedia2008]

yes you are correct, would i be right to say that you know some irish?

[xtremlyrandomgirl]

Yup! went to the Ghaeltacht during the summer.

[magpie4321]

That is awsome! Plain old John Wayne American here!

[tazamainia93]

dia also means god in irish

[surferchickluvschips]

go raibh maith agat .. am i saying that right ,., maith agat ?

[dkmedia2008]

ya, ar fheabhas ar fad!

[xClubCarlax]

Slan! :)

[AskSOmeoneelse]
