Irish Weather Report Irish Language Speaking Irish

[heyjudeismoody]

I'm trying to learn Irish right now. It's a beautiful language.

[Beudog120]

Haha it sounds like Simlish :')

[madelinesutherland]

I wish my family passed this beautiful language down to me :(

[JamieCFurbo]

nil go leor daoine ata abalta chaint I gaeilge ar tusatube nach bhfuil se sin fior?

[MessedUpMeHa]

My 8 year old cousin can speak stuff in Irish... but then again she actually /is/ Irish.... I tried to learn it when I was over there for a few weeks, but had so much trouble grasping the sound rules and stuff, I found it near impossible haha... Although I did get some stuff. I totally recognised the days of the week at the end of that video. And I can say "leaves" and "green" and "end" and "Dublin" XD

[MrToothpick189]

@MessedUpMeHa irish is kind of easy once you can pronounce it properly. it just takes some getting used to!

[jayyim123]

I thought Irish was just another english speaking language but it sounds barely like an english language. Sounds like european with english words just thrown into it. lol!

[CrazyHorse493]

@jayyim123 do you realise that the Tour de France bit is actually French not English?

[DaveF40]

@jayyim123 The Irish language is a Gaelic language. The English sounding words you here are basically new words that there was no Irish word for so we just invented one for example television in Irish is Teilifis

[DonegalRaymie201]

@jayyim123

"Sounds like european with english words just thrown into it. lol!"??

What the hell does "European" sound like? Does Spanish, French, German, Swedish etc all sound the same to you??

Irish & Scots Gaelic, along with Welsh & Breton make up the living Celtic language group; English, Dutch, Danish etc are in the Germanic group! They are quite separate, and only distantly related.

[RadioCambodia]

i thought my own language basque sounded strange but this is psycho

[KayaRoedMusic]

I was like, wtf.....

[TheCajunplayboy]

I didn't even know there was an Irish language.

[MisterLovahLovah]

Nationalist pigs

[Gallantt90]

Beautiful sounding language

[Ciaro869]

LOL RTé news i have such a bogger accent i'm from clare XD

[WillofIceandIron]

No offense, but I couldn't give a flying toss about Irish. I just clicked on this link cause she looked hot.

[NICNICNICKIFY]

Is breá liom an teanga Gaeilge .Bhfaighidh mé iontach é gur féidir liom a thuiscint an léitheoir nuachta agus ansin trácht sa Ghaeilge. Thumbs suas más féidir leat a thuiscint. !!!! :D

[Beretta904]

This language is so trippy!

[bansheewhiskey]

[TmplKnght]

She missed out Kilburn High Road

[mikeanator55]

The fuck...!

[JordoF6]

@mikeanator55 What do you mean what the fuck? its my people language half of us speak it.

[mikeanator55]

@JordoF6 What i meant by that was i was trying to use context clues to try to figure out in the least what she was saying.. what the fuck was the equivalent of i dont understand lol

[JordoF6]

@mikeanator55 Oh well she was mainly talking about the weather on the west coast of ireland. If you don't speak any type of gaelige you wont understand at all gaelige is a ancient language older than latin by thousands of years you woun't be able to understand any word unless you speak it its not like if you speak english you can understand some similar german and french words its a totally ancient alien language.

[mikeanator55]

@JordoF6 ok thanks

[KevUrbie]

Damn man...this isnt a dig against the Irish, but you can kinda get why the Romans heard the Celt/'Barbarian' languages like 'Bar bar bar'.

[SuperAramis2000]

Irish is a language? Here I thought it was called Gaelic.

[84jgk]

@SuperAramis2000 it is my understanding that the the irish speak gaeilge or irish Gaelic as i have heard it called ... Americans speak english well most of us any ways because england is the country where our language originated from .... the irish speak irish as that is the country where their language originated from.... i am no exper just and interested party

[OkamsRazer]

@84jgk There are three variations of Gaelic, Irishm Scottish and Mannish, and a related celtic language around Wales (obviously called Welsh).

[OkamsRazer]

@SuperAramis2000 Irish is a subset of Gaelic since the Scottish , Manx (Mannish, or from the Isle of Man...but called Manx) variations are different enough to be noticable.

[thestigsirishcousin]

remember the irish summer last year....man that was a great day

[MultiWhatever007]

Shnorgen borgen gorgen

[IndescribableEnigma]

To be completely honest...I didn't even know that Irish was a language until just last year. I grew up thinking it was just a variation of English like Australian or British xD

[TheFcasey]

@IndescribableEnigma Do you know how stupid you sound? Firstly irish is a language but we speak english here. Secondly England is in Britain, there is no british english or australian english u twat.

[IndescribableEnigma]

@TheFcasey Woah woah no need to be a troll. I fucking know the people speak English in Ireland. Also I meant the Australian and British accent. Holy shit.

[Azandeer]

@TheFcasey @IndescribableEnigma Actually there is. English follows different rules based on what country you live in and is classified as such. Thankfully, english speaking nations can still communicate with relative ease thanks to a global televised media, peacetime business, and of course the internet. No need to bash the poor guy, he just doesn't know much about other cultures.

[TheEvie321]

greetings! irish girl here!

[Banirura]

If all news reports were in Irish I might actually watch the news just to hear it.

[archer1949]

Interesting.

How many people actually speak Irish as their primary language?

[JordoF6]

@archer1949 Almost a million.

[cruzerrepublic]

It doesn't hurt to have an extremely attractive woman speak one's native tongue (I'm not Irish, but through her it sounds hot!)

[derekutca]

@Mestizachicabueno : yes I think you are right, my ppl in Erdély (transilvania)were lucky not invaded by the english :D  english invented the first concentration camps as well, and not the nazis. Maybe the romanians were not so professionals as the english..and also we allways thought our invedors are just a bounch of inferiour human kind, as well as their language.(in fact the dirty vlachs-romanians could never take that land without english-french support in WWI)

[derekutca]

I still can not understand how a nation can forget, or loose their own language? Some of my ppl are oppressed so much in Erdély(transilvania) which is occupied by the vlach-romanian goat fuckers since 1919 (WWI), and still most of Hungarian refuse to speak the romanian language.

[juddz90]

@derekutca It's actually because in 1831,the English parlaiment decided to use Ireland as a social reform lab rat, and gave them free public education, the first free public education in history(Stanley Education Act). It was mandatory for all Irish kids to go to school, but because the school was taught by English speakers, they were taught in English. The native Irish tongue declined drastically in less than a generation's time.

[derekutca]

@juddz90 : Hmm, in Erdély(transilvania), the vlach (romaninan) invadors provided free education for the Hungarian children as well, but they could not prevent my ppl to speak hungarian at home, or after school. Even in every official place were allowed to speak romanian only. School time is only a few hours a day.

[mayonhayes]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOBS!!!

[tonyblackops]

This is weird..I thought Irish people speak english

[alanr5111]

@tonyblackops Aye, England kind of destroyed the Irish and Scottish lanuguage due to its persistance at attacking Scotland and pillaging Ireland. The languages being galic, the old scottish language, and gaelic (or Irish) the old Irish language. The only language apart from English in the U.K thats has survived is Welsh. I mean survived being that Welsh is actually used in general use a lot in Wales and the native languages of Scotland and Ireland arn't.

[JordoF6]

@tonyblackops We do but we also speak irish.

[VikingTerror]

Sounds like a mix of dutch and icelandic.

[JordoF6]

@VikingTerror Its 3 times as old.

[dandywarhol1994]

Wonderfull breasts!

[GodOfUnbelief]

Irish (gaeilge) should be the only language in Ianguage of Ireland.

English is a colonial language. Yes its irony that I write in English, but whatever.

[taradiddle7]

@GodOfUnbelief I agree so much! Is breá lion an Ghaeilge! :)

[FreakbergsFinest]

@TheKoeberto: I am a native speaker of German and do not understand one single word. The similarity comes from the different "ch"-sounds (like in Scottish "Loch Ness") being used in both languages.

[homesanto]

@FreakbergsFinest Actually Celtic languages are closer to Latin than to Germanic branch.

[TheKoeberto]

It sounds very Germanic for some reason..I speak fluent German and my brain kept trying to translate words automatically as she was speaking because of how similar it sounds.

[MattytheDem]

Hottie

[neutrinosoup]

I don't understand most of it. But some words ring through like it was english. It guess that's from secondary school and I do like poems and songs in Irish e.g. Kila.

[sashagala]

why does this sound like swedish to me? haha

still, I love this language and I want to be able to speak it :)

[zaken1235]

Holy cow people still speak gaelic? I thought it was a mostly dead language.

[evildjinn9]

@zaken1235 You know, the internet has been around a long time now; you can look it up on Wikipedia and countless other sources.

[taradiddle7]

@zaken1235 Nope, we learn it in school now, im fluent. and we mostly call it Irish no gaelic. Gaelic is our football :L

[MelBaugh24]

I picked up "index Celsius"...aaaand that's pretty much it.

[GreenEyedSerb]

Sounds very rough with the very harsh Rs. I love it.

[21strawberrycream]

I am getting from this that it rains a lot!

[21strawberrycream]

Very intresting the only part i could pick up was at the end where i believe she is saying her name!

[sakoupa]

BEAUTIFUL! Language too.

[teunteulai]

Hey, Irish people ! Greetings from Belarus. Don't orget your native language, it really sounds beautiful ! I want to learn it I hope there will be a possibility for practice as once I arrive to Ireland )

[storyteller25]

@teunteulai :) прывітаньне! і ты не забывайся на сваю мову :)

[youandihavenolife]

@teunteulai *giggles* Okay, I have no idea who you are, but I have to send this to you. It is from a show called Hetalia... Basically, it's just a show where countries are in human form... And in this clip that I'm going to be showing you, it shows the *magical* relationship between Russia and Belarus... and honestly, it's hilarious. So just watch it. Even if it annoys you or you don't care about it. Just watch it anyway. xD Here you go!: /watch?v=Oq12y3O3-u4

[teunteulai]

@youandihavenolife well, firstly, ypur link doesn\t work. and I know this show, and I hate the steriotypes about Belarus/ to say that Belarus is a "sister" of Russia and is similar to Russia is the same thing to say that Austria or Netherlands are sisters of Germany and they are the same. Moreover, 70 of belarusians don't like Russia and want to join EU/ The Japanese should have better prepair to it but I see it's all about stereotype show. So hy did You want ma to watch it ?

[youandihavenolife]

@teunteulai Hahahaha. Chill. xD It's okay, I don't believe any of the relationships they put in the show, either.

Chill out. xD And because, I'm an obsessive fangirl, and to me, it was fun to send it to you.

[teunteulai]

@youandihavenolife ok, no problems =) it's not just about that I have been disappointed with this video, i just thought you wanted to tell me something important with it, so nevermind )) to tell the truth I live in Germany for long, but patriotic feelingf have not left me/ and what's your country in this show ? )

[youandihavenolife]

@teunteulai Lucky. I would love to live in Germany. It's so nice there.

And America. Blah. Haha. xD I mean, it's a good place to live but it's just so boring. xD

Stunningly beautiful woman, btw....

[carlhopkinson]

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@carlhopkinson sounds like an insult??

[valeriebarrasful]

Thanks YouTube for a great site!

[valeriebarrasful]

Hi Ziggy actually my comment was directed at the author of bad language but thank you all the same for responding! Now that the 'bad' posts have been deleted it's a pleasure to read some intelligent Irish History posts!

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@valeriebarrasful I tend to try to correct people who have false information about Celtic culture and Anthropology in general, but their lack of education and quickness to react defensively ends up in quarrels, sorry, but i do contribute in enlightening ways, look up Scottish Gaelic Weather report, you will notice how the old Pictish language must play a part in the difference and a wee bit of Norse, also SCOTS GAELIC IS SPOKEN MUUUUCH SLOWER!!!!!!!!

[valeriebarrasful]

@GoldenAxeVox666

[valeriebarrasful]

@GoldenAxeVox666 I like what you say and understand how you feel!

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@valeriebarrasful Thank you lassy ;)

[valeriebarrasful]

I don't wish to respond to the video per sé, only to say why is it necessary for people to use bad language in their posts? This is not only offensive but also spoils an otherwise intelligent discussion on the origins of the Irish language! I think it would be better if we did not have to read such language!

[zyggy32]

@valeriebarrasful Apologies, I Try to remove stupid comments when I get a chance

[Biervampy]

@zyggy32 Tá an ceart go leor agat !!!

[TheREALSisko]

@valeriebarrasful Would it not be better to simply not be offended by the mere combination of letters, letters which someone decided "when combined together these letters shall form a word that will offend you simply because you were told this word is offensive and not because its actually insulting." I choose not to let other people decide what words are offensive for me. There is a seriously lack of logic when it comes to being offended by the mere sight of the 7 "deadly" words....

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@JMERYAN Mate, the United Kingdom, or England to be precise was the cause of the potato famine and the consequential Black45 migration to the United States which you could navigate by following the dead bodies floating in the water as the boat conditions were horrendous. It was bad enough there was a "little ice age" occurring at the time, but England taking more crops than Ireland could produce to feed themselves was an act of shame. Eitherway we are now at peace& Celts, let us share that pride

[ec5aca]

In my own opinion, any Irish speaking Irish people, native or learner, are way better than any English speaking only Irish people. By the way, any Irish speaker can also speak English way better than me, so do not worry anymore. You cannot pretend all the world to speak only English when they have their own native language. That is a fact in all Europe and was a fact in Ireland too, maybe 200 years ago.

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@ec5aca what the hell are you talking about? is English your first language?

[mamc1986]

@Mestizachicabueno She is pretty isn't she? :)

[mamc1986]

May I please ask how Irish Gaelic split off of Scottish Gaelic?

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@mamc1986 Actually, the Gaels came to the Land now known as Ireland about 2,500 years ago, slowly their cultures merged with the Picts, the ancient inhabitants of Scotland, Pictish is more ancient and is said to actually sound a bit more like Welsh, after some time the Pictish language faded away in favor of the Gaels language. Both of which are Celtic peoples, but have some differences in culture, around 800C.E.(AD) Pictland had changed enough to the point where is was called Alba, or Scotland.

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@GoldenAxeVox666 Also, over time both Celitc peoples integrated with Norse culture and blood as well, the Scots a bit more than the Irish, but any Modern Celtic(including all of Britain ) person has Norse or Scandinavian blood in them as well. Either Directly from the Vikings, or the 3 or 4 generations of viking that inhabited Normandy before finally conquering England from the Saxons.

[RadioZombieX]

it is hard to speak gah!

[Raegh]

Thank you! I was curious about how Irish sounds. :)

[YazdegerdIII]

what's her name?

[valeriebarrasful]

I'm reading a book titled '1000 years of annoying the French'. In 1690 The Battle of the Boyne was won by William of Orange who defeated King James 11: 'this was not only a calmity for James but also for the Irish Catholics, who had to strap themselves in for about three centuries of Anglo-Protestant domination' thereby out ruling the use of the Irish language!

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@valeriebarrasful hahahahaa what a great title....

[MechanicJim]

She makes me want to be Irish!!!

[maddcat0]

I've always loved the accent (actually it's my #1 favorite), but I've never heard the language before :) Thanks for uploading

[seppomuppit]

Wow she is fine

[thatonechick2012]

O.O"

My head hurts.

[wwestevo06]

Sorry what was that dear?

[Hercegbosanac1]

Hello! I am from Croatia. I've always been fascinated by Gaelic culture and language and I'm glad to see that people are trying to keep the this language and culture. However this is one of the oldest languages in Europe. I must also say that the Irish people are the most hospitable and cheerful people in the world. ;)

[MeadbhMc]

@Hercegbosanac1 Ahh, Go raibh míle maith agat a chara! :)

[B0nckers]

@MeadbhMc haha! Níl chlú aige cad a duirt tú, díreach ansin xD Woo! Gaeilge!

[biko77]

Is comórtas é ina mbeidh bailte nach bhfuil sa Ghaeltacht ag dul in iomaíocht le chéile chun an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn iontu agus duais a bhuachaint ó FnaG.

Is as Cluain Dolcáin (BÁC) ó dhúchas mé, áit ina bhfuil tuilleadh Gaeilge ná mar is gnáth sa phríomhchathair innti agus ba bhreá liom mo bhaile a fheiceáil sa chomórtas ach níl an liosta ar fáil ar shuíomh TG4. Tuairimí ag aon duine?

[windstorm1000]

I dare a Irish speaker to translate this:  poga mah-own!

[MisterNoofNoRepublic]

@windstorm1000 Kiss my ass?

[snappy452]

I want to let you know that in my Napoleon: Total War Europe campaign (as Napoleon's France), I liberated Dublin and allowed the Republic of Ireland to be founded, then invaded England, destroyed everything, occupied it for years and continually put down any rebellion.

So youre welcome, now you dont have to speak english anymore :D

[FacnyCatFighter]

@snappy452 This made me laugh!

[WillyT3117]

Beautiful and many ways.

Can someone translate this, please? I don't speak Finnish.

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@acr08807 Its Gaelic.....

[acr08807]

@GoldenAxeVox666 Gaelic? She has a very pretty name. But that still doesn't help me translate from Finnish.

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@acr08807 No mate, she is Speaking Gaelic, and i wish I knew Gaelic and Svedic or Finnish to translate, but i know only English, a few Deutsche, Norse, and a couple Gaelic words.........

[waaka09]

@GoldenAxeVox666 lmfao dude it's svensk and norsk xD

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@waaka09 What the hell are you even referring to?

[29iceskater]

it sounds like dutch but i know it's not related

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@29iceskater Irish Gaelic!



[29iceskater]

@GoldenAxeVox666 um i know?

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

@29iceskater you're sort of right and i applaud you for not assuming something like that just because of superficial similarities. but they are very distantly related. only about as related as german is to italian, though. the indoeuropean language family! :)

[29iceskater]

@phr4nk3rd00d13 i'm a linguistics student. you didn't have to tell me that lol. :)

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

@29iceskater oh, sorry. i didn't know that! i like trying to give people information about languages online. (especially about creoles and trying to do away with the misconceptions.) but anyway, i never would have assumed i'd run into a linguistics student. :)

[29iceskater]

@phr4nk3rd00d13 that's okay! and happy new year! :)

[phr4nk3rd00d13]

@29iceskater happy new year to you too. :) and good luck with your studies!

[lovelyaley]

[Pandahighfive]

It sounds Dutch/German/English-ish

[BUNGHOLIOist]

wtf

[OscarBravoUSA]

Why do the Celtic languages - Irish, Scots Gaelic, Welsh, etc. - still exist?

[GotSnowedIn]

@OscarBravoUSA Becuase they are a treasure and should be preserved. For scots gaelic, there are still areas in scotland where it is a first/only language, and several schools within scotland are teaching it as a secondady language as well. I speak it and my children will learn it as well.

[GoldenAxeVox666]

@GotSnowedIn I want to learn so bad! its exceptionally hard to learn without hearing it spoken as the written language is almost in code, how do you write a unwritten language! I wish they had Gaelic Instructors around here.....
