Gaeilge Grá Mo Chroí

Gach rud I ngaeilge. Cur ceist orm má tá cabhair ag teastáil uaimh😘

[gaeilgeoiri]

d’fhoghlaim beagán de gaeilge uladh agus beagán de gaeilge chonnacht. an bhfuil sin ceart go leor, nó ar roghnfaidh mé ceann amháin? (is fearr liom gaeilge uladh, ach ceapaim go tá móran gaeilge chonnacht agam agus beidh mé ag dul go dtí ollscoil i ngaillimh an bhliain seo chugainn.) (tá brón orm faoi an droch-gaeilge, táim fós ag cleachtadh.) Go raibh míle mhaith agat💚

Haigh a chara, sna laethanta seo, cé go bhfuil daoine fós ann a deir gur gá díriú ar canúint amháin: is féidir meascán a bheith agat. B'fhéidir go mbeadh an nós seo sách conspóideach ach, caithfear glacadh le hathrú chun ligint don teanga forbairt agus fás. Ach go háirithe leis na meáin sóisialta sa lá atá inniu ann, cruthaíonn an nasc sin meascán. Ní gá Gaeilge foirfe Ulaidh nó Connachta nó fiú Ghaelainn na Mumhan, glacfar le meascán. Ní féidir liom a rá go cruinn faoin Ollscoil ach, táim cinnte go mbeidh siad sásta le haon chaighdeán Gaeilge.

[gaeilgeoiri]

Haigh

Gabh mo leithscéal as ucht mo chuid as láthaireacht ar líne ach is oth liom a rá go bhfuil an choróin víris orm. Bhí mé an-chúramach ach níor oibrigh sé amach dom. Táim i mo leaba ar feadh trí seachtaine anuas agus níl aon biseach tagtha orm.

Bígí cúramach, bígí slán agus go bhfóire dia, bígí ciallmhar

[gaeilgeoiri]

Tá fearg orm

Haigh leaids, aedín anseo arís agus tá fadhb agam. Fadhb le meoin muintir na tíre. Leanann mé go leor cúntaisí ar IG a bhfuil "Éireannach agus bródúil" agus cheap mé, toisc go raibh an chúntas mar sin go mbeadh an lucht leanúna mar an gcéanna. Mar dhea. Tá sé feicthe agam ar aon phictiúr a chuirtear suas ar na gcúntaisí seo faoin nGaeilge go bhfuil tagairtí san aiseolas ón bpobail gur teanga marbh í an Ghaeilge agus nár cóir í a labhairt. Agus gur b'fhearr leo bás a fháil roimh feabhas a chur ar a gcuid Gaeilge. Tá an gráin dearg agam ar na ndaoine seo!! Ligean siad orthu gur daoine bródúil Éireannacha atá iontu ach is cuma sa tioc leo faoin teanga álainn atá againn. Chomh feargach!!!!

Hi guys, aedín here again and i have a problem. A problem with the mind set of the people of Ireland. I follow a lot of accounts on Instagram that are "irish and proud" and i thought, because the account was like that, that the followers would be the same. As if. I have seen that on any picture put up about irish on these accounts have hateful comments about irish. Saying the language is dead and we shouldn't speak it. That they'd rather die than improve their Irish. I hate these people! They pretend that theyre proud irish people but they dont care about our amazing language at all! So angry!!!!

(translating that was so hard so I'm sorry if the English makes no sense)

[duine-aiteach]

I think memes_as_gaeilge is okay, I follow them though I don’t really look at the comments the few I looked at seemed to be okay. The same with gaylgeoiri

[gaeilgeoiri]

Yeah they seem to be good people. Definitely gaylgeoiri. I had just seen comments absolutely hating on the Irish language. Majority of people are happy to let it live but the notion that it had has to die is still very prevalent which angers me. You know 🙃

[gaeilgeoiri]

Conas atá sibh? How are you guys?

Mar is eol do chách, táimid i dtréimhse dúshlánach faoi láthair. Mar aon leis an choróin víris, tá daoine ag fulaingt le fadhbanna le meabhair sláinte, mise san áireamh. Táim anseo le fógairt go bhfuil duine éigin ann i gcónaí le labhairt leo. Agus táimse ar fáil i gcónaí chomh maith má tá aon buairt nó rud ar bith oraibh. Caithfimid aire a thabhairt dá chéile anois agus an domhain mar atá, tá sí scanrúil. Impím oraibh fanacht istigh agus aire a thabhairt díbh féin agus fanacht amach ó dhaoine. Chomh fada agus a leanann muid na coinníollacha, beimid amuigh faoin aer ag bualadh le daoine arís. Tá a fhios agamsa go bhfuilim ag tnúth le mo bhuachaill a fheiceáil ❤️ ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann muid leaids. Déanaigí cinntí ciallmhara.

As we all know, we are in challenging times at the moment. As well as the virus itself, people are struggling with mental health issues, as I can relate to. I'm here to remind you that there is always someone out there to talk to. I'm always available too if you guys have any issues or anything. We have to mind ach other with the world as it is. It's scary. I ask you to stay inside and mind yourselves and follow social distancing. As long as we follow the conditions the sooner we'll be out meeting people again. I know that I'm looking forward to seeing my boyfriend ❤️ we live by counting on others lads. Make good choices

Seo hí mo thuairim ar an late late toy show i mbliana. Táim fíor thuirseach anseo gabh mo leithscéal

[briosca-sa-speir]

[fecktrecool-deactivated20220314]

Can Americans please not bring Irish Gaelic names into white names discourse?

Irish is the native language of Irish people. It’s an ancient language that is on the brink of extinction as a direct result of colonialism and cultural and physical genocide.

Names like Saoirse (freedom), Áine (radiant), Aoife (beautiful) etc are traditional Irish names. They’re spelt “funny” because Irish is a different language from English, and has some sounds that aren’t found in the English language.

It’s not the same thing as edgy white Americans naming their kid Kathylyn instead of Kathleen to try to be different

[metradell-vyorei-deactivated202]

Also it's not even called Irish Gaelic it's called Gaeilge (gayl-ga) and is its own language, a beautiful one at that, fully encourage everyone interested in language revival to try learning it because we're losing it rapidly and there's not many Gaeilgeoirí ("gayl-gor-ee" ie: fluent speakers) left

[deliciousfandomtears]

My name is old Irish and the struggle to get my name pronounced and spelt properly even in my own country is real. My name is Bríd and pronounced “Breed”. Four letters nice and easy, and yet I get called Breege, Burid, and even worse, bridget. My name is not Bridget, it’s not the Irish version of Bridget, it’s its own name that was bastardised by the British to Bridget.

But please please PLEASE have a look at learning Irish. We’re a dying breed that is being smothered in the north by the DUP and being killed by our own people in the south. What’s a real kick in the teeth is that in the south Irish is compulsory in schools and yet the vast majority of students have no interest and here in the north we’re fighting just to have GCSE/GCE resources available to us in Irish.

I plan to teach in a Gaelscoil (Irish medium school) when I finish my degree and the only Gaelscoil in Belfast is expecting a rise of 50%. (Another school has opened in Dungiven, there’s an Irish language unit in St. Malachys in Castlewellan, and another school will hopefully be opening up in North Belfast, if we ever get a government) We’re being smothered but we will fight.

So please, if you have an interest in Irish there’s loads of resources online for learning Irish and in Ireland there’s loads of local Irish classes. But please research the Irish used in your area because it’s different depending on which region of Ireland you’re in (Ulster Irish is the best Irish fight me). There’s even classes on Duolingo! So if you’re going to be tortured by the owl, be tortured as Gaeilge.

[duine-aiteach]

Honestly I’d always pronounce Bríd as breedge - the d like in idir or déan. Breed sounds wrong to me - I’m not saying it is, it’s your name so you obviously know better than me how to pronounce it but based off what I was taught it sounds wrong.

And the problem isn’t a lack of interest in the republic, the problem is the way it is examined. Most of my peers lost any desire to speak Irish once we started being expected to learn off essays and pages of notes to answer exam questions because the teacher knew we didn’t have enough Irish to answer the questions on our own. By forcing us to take exams at a much higher level than we could use, most people who had a bit of interest lost it. The issue is trying to balance the exams to make them challenging for people in Gaeltacht areas and Gaelscoils but also doable for people who don’t speak Irish in their general life. The problem isn’t interest, it’s mainly the exams which force the teachers to not actually teach the language properly because that isn’t important to get us through our exams.

As Béarla ach fós tábhachtach

The Irish for peninsula is leithinis.

Leith = half

Inis = island

The Irish for peninsula is half-island

I love how amazingly literal Irish is

Bhí Rick Riordain ag foghlaim Gaeilge le bliain agus leabhráin sé Gaeilge níos fearr liomsa! Níl sé féaráilte! :( Mo chroí, nimhneach é...

[gaeilgeoiri]

An bhfuil sé fíor??? Labhraíonn Rick Riordan Gaeilge??? Is eisean é an údar is fearr liom riamh. In ainm Déithe táim BEO (dá léifeá Percy Jackson, thuigfeá)

[crogall-an-tuaiscirt]

Tá sé fíor! Is breá liom a chuid leabhar (léigh mé Percy Jackson, thuigim)

[gaeilgeoiri]

Wowww, táim i ndáiríre chomh sásta faoi seo!

[crogall-an-tuaiscirt]

Mise freisin ach tá mé brónach mar atá a chuid Gaeilge níos fearr ná mianach...

[gaeilgeoiri]

Tá am i gcónaí feabhas a chur ar do chuid Gaeilge :) (is abairt í seo a dúirt mo léachtóir ach aontaím léi)

Athrú aeráide

Tá an domhain i dtrioblóid faoi láthair agus táim fíor buartha fúithi. Tá fearg orm chomh maith go bhfuil daoine amach ansin ar nós na leaids i "Ré Nua" a cheapann gur rud samhlaíoch í an athrú. Tá todhchaí na leanaí i mbaol agus fós tá na daoine fásta i gceannas ag suí agus ag úsáid breoslaí mar a dhéanfaidís le linn an réabhlóid tionsclaíoch. Níl an iompar sin sásúil níos mó. Caithfidh siad a súile a oscailt. Tá athrú dearcadh ag teastáil go tapaigh. Níl ach domhan amháin againn. Bígí cineálta di.

[gaeilgeoiri]

Haigh leaids, aedín anseo arís agus tá fadhb agam. Fadhb le meoin muintir na tíre. Leanann mé go leor cúntaisí ar IG a bhfuil "Éireannach agus bródúil" agus cheap mé, toisc go raibh an chúntas mar sin go mbeadh an lucht leanúna mar an gcéanna. Mar dhea. Tá sé feicthe agam ar aon phictiúr a chuirtear suas ar na gcúntaisí seo faoin nGaeilge go bhfuil tagairtí san aiseolas ón bpobail gur teanga marbh í an Ghaeilge agus nár cóir í a labhairt. Agus gur b'fhearr leo bás a fháil roimh feabhas a chur ar a gcuid Gaeilge. Tá an gráin dearg agam ar na ndaoine seo!! Ligean siad orthu gur daoine bródúil Éireannacha atá iontu ach is cuma sa tioc leo faoin teanga álainn atá againn. Chomh feargach!!!!
