Yoohoo!!
This is my first post here, so I wanna list some things you might find!!!
But first, hii!! I'm teacupmouse (or Tea)
I am a MINOR. Don't be creepy 💔
I love reading, crochet, painting, art and video games :3 (and bucky barnes)
I'll be posting some fanart AND oc art 😼 (some of my oc lore will be mixed in that too, since I'm trying to get better at writing 🤞)
Me analysing shows, movies (basically anything im into at the time) and just generally sharing my opinion 🤞
listening to gàidhlig (scottish) as an irish speaker is like having a stroke... like why cant i understand you ... oh you said agus??? where am i ..
What if in Irish, instead of the planets just being Irish-ified versions of the English words we call them by their Tuatha de danann equivalent?
Mercury would be An Lugh
Venus would be An Oengus
Earth would be An Danu
Mars would be An Morrigan
Jupiter would be An Dagda
Saturn would be An Balor (Maybe?)
Uranus would be Taranis (Again, maybe)
Neptune would be An Manannán
I thougjt it would be interesting but idk :3
Wait this would he cool as shit
i have some poetry from my native tongue (gaeilge) to share:
Léigh anois go cúramach
Ar do scrúdpháipéar --
Na treoracha
Agus na ceisteanna
A ghabhann le Ceist
A hAon....
Bíp....
I shudder.....

keep irish alive! learn a cúpla focal! litter them throughout your sentences throughout an lá! speak as much irish as you can! even if you don't/didn't like learning it in school, speaking it casually without worrying about mistakes is so much better than not speaking it at all. is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste!! (ar ndóigh, is fearr Gaeilge cliste ná Gaeilge bhriste freisin)
go raibh míle maith agat :D
pros of knowing irish:
secret language only you and a select few other living people in your country know
cons of knowing irish:
secret language only you and a select few other living people in your country know
Periodically I'll google Irish email etiquette because I can never remember the sign-offs and it will be perpetually entertaining to me when they translate Beir bua as Best wishes.
I'm sorry, I'm a medievalist, and this phrase is literally in Oidheadh Con Culainn:
"Best wishes". What a funny way to tell somebody to take victory!
Anyway, this is how I read emails with Irish salutations:
O Ruairi, my ally,
I hope this email finds you willing to aid me in battle. If you're still open to sending me those unpublished editions you're working on, I would be incredibly grateful, as they'd help a lot with my research.
Take victory,
Finn
"Irish is a dead language" "no one uses irish anymore" you can pry this language from my cold dead hands. It's not dead and if it was I would still love it (my ancient greek and latin homies know what's up)
Is breá liom ag caint gailege agus ní féidir leat stad mé <33
irish as a language is so fun. we have so few words and so we have to get funky with it. oh, a fox? i think you mean 'madra rua' (red dog) you wanna talk to me about birds? barn owls perhaps? why, yes, the 'scréachóg reilige' (graveyard screamer) and, my personal fav, you're really tired? oh, you poor thing. i think you might have the tiredness of the world on you (tá tuirseach an domhain ort)
*grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you violently*
Listen to me, Irish spelling is logical and has rules. Your unfamiliarity with our language does not change that.

Yes, it is! That is the sound those letters make! All you're doing is telling me you can't read!
sometimes I just get so unbelievably pissed off about the English language and the British empire because for fucks sake I want MY LANGUAGE BACK
I'm decently fluent in Irish, which is an incredible thing to have imo, but it's not my first language and never will be. I call it my native language, my mother tongue, but the fact of the matter is I think in English first and translate to Irish when I speak.
I love Irish so much, but when I learn new words I have to know the meaning in English first. It's so important to me, but I can't take back the centuries of oppression of my language no matter how much I speak it or how much I love it.
If the British hadn't colonised Ireland, I could've been speaking Irish from the cradle, surrounded by native Irish speakers, had it be my first language. Yes, we still have the Gaeltachtaí but even there, Irish is scattered and English is commonplace because we now live in a society where English is the language of daily life. Speaking Irish is still seen as unusual and try-hard, and there's a legacy of shame around our language.
Shame! For Irish! For the beautiful language our people created and spoke and loved for more than TWO THOUSAND YEARS and because of colonisation and the Famine and the imperial oppression of our beloved home, there is national shame for our language.
I don't even know where I'm going with this post, what I even mean, but I miss Irish even when I'm speaking it and I want back what I never had in the first place and Irish is truly a part of my soul and I hate that my grammar is better in English and for gods sake why couldn't they just leave us alone

Fuck it's genius....
I meant to make this meme ages ago when pride month was still on but yeah gé (pronounced gay) is the Irish for a goose.

The etymology for "Ireland" is just incredibly recursive.
It comes from the Old English "Īrland", made up of "Īras" and "Land".
Land means... land. And "Īras" meant... "The Irish" or "Ireland".
"Īras" comes from the Old Irish word "Ériu", which means... Ireland.
"Ériu" predates writing, but reconstructions of proto-Celtic believe it comes from a word they spell as "ɸīweriyū", which means... land.
"Ireland" translates as "The Land of the People of the Land of the Land".
It's made up of four provinces, "The Land of Big Mom", "The Descendants of Conn", "The Land of the Spear People", and "The Land Of The Beard People".
The Irish for "Province" is "cúige", which translates as "one fifth". Because there used to be five provinces, but the fifth one got subsumed into the rest. Mostly by the Conns and the Spear People.
It was called "The Middle One".
Robin and Sunday's names translated into Irish is rlly funny to me 😭
Like yes my, fav HSR character is Dé Domhnaigh!!
Oh Robin? You mean Spideog?
